Abstract: A dynamic application data monitoring architecture may include data collector, data provider, and widget software components. Data collectors convert application data from a native format into data instances having a logical hierarchical structure conforming to a schema which may be an XML schema. Data providers receive data instances from associated data collectors or other data providers and generate other data instances having a different logical hierarchical structure conforming to another schema which may be presentation-centric and may define features of a graphical data display mechanism (e.g. a line graph). The data provider may employ an external transform (e.g. an XSLT). Widgets receive logical, presentation-centric data instances from an associated data source (typically a data provider) and generate therefrom a displayable graphical representation of the received data according to an operative graphical data display mechanism. The data instances may be Document Object Model document instances.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a computer tutorial system wherein software product training is provided interactively by guiding the user, for example, through one or more examples or applications that can be created in and/or using the product. More particularly, the invention involves a computer implemented, interactive tutorial system providing online instruction in conjunction with a contemporaneously operating software product to, for example, create such examples or applications and the tutorial system further providing for the creation of such examples or applications in and/or using the product.
