Abstract: Systems, methods and machine-readable mediums for defining and executing new commands in a spreadsheet application are provided. A method may include receiving a declaration command in a first spreadsheet cell. The declaration command identifying a command name for the new command and operations performed for the command name based on a plurality of second spreadsheet cells. A system may include a processor programmed to evaluate the declaration command in the first spreadsheet cell according to the instructions stored in a storage device, receive the command name and at least two parameters identifying at least one input spreadsheet cell and at least one output spreadsheet cell of the spreadsheet application, create a new command for the spreadsheet application, and evaluate the new command as identified by the command name in a second spreadsheet cell for execution. The computer readable mediums provide instructions to cause the processor to perform the operations above.

Abstract: A software framework based on semantic modeling and business rules, in which a method implemented in a data processing system, includes: receiving input from one or more first users to generate a first ontology describing a software requirement; and receiving input from one or more second users to map the first ontology to a second ontology describing software tools. The data processing system generates a software framework using the input that is received to map the first ontology that describes the software requirement to the second ontology that describes the software tools.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to generate a software framework based on semantic modeling and business rules. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a data processing system, includes: receiving input from one or more first users to generate a first ontology describing a software requirement; receiving input from one or more second users to map the first ontology to a second ontology describing software tools; and generating a software framework in the data processing system based on the input received from the one or more second users to map the first ontology to the second ontology.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of centrally providing common industry applications to organizations within a common industry that includes identifying functions for various applications within the common industry and determining which functions may be centrally performed regardless of the application that requires a function. The method further includes providing a system that centrally performs the functions applying the system to the various applications.
