Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein for creating associations between user interests and electronic document templates generated from B2C electronic documents. Once these associations are created, interest(s) of a user (e.g., a user profile) may be determined automatically based on B2C electronic documents addressed to the user. In various implementations, an electronic document addressed to a user may be identified. A particular electronic document template that corresponds to the electronic document addressed to the user may be selected from a plurality of electronic document templates. The selecting may be based on attribute(s) shared between the electronic document addressed to the user and the selected electronic document template. The particular electronic template may be generated from a plurality of electronic documents that share fixed content.

Abstract: In response to a request received from a client device to view an item, a program determines a category associated with the item and a location associated with a user of the client device. The program also identifies a form based on the category and the location. The form comprises a set of fields. The program then provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes the form to the client device. The program also receives, through the GUI, data values for the set of fields from the client device and a request to add the item to a collection of items. The program then identifies a policy based on the category and the location. The program also applies the policy to the data values for the set of fields. The program then sends a notification to the client device indicating a result of the application of the policy.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the efficiency of document transformation processes is disclosed. For example, more efficient XML transformations may be performed against a source document that has incurred minor or incremental changes. Rather than apply a transform (e.g., an XSLT document) to a complete document each time any fragment of the source document is modified, a document management system may be configured to apply the transform only to the modified portions of the document.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for integrating a calendaring system with a mashup page. A mashup server accesses the calendar data inputted by a user to create or edit an entry in a calendar application. The mashup server provides the user access to widgets to be included on a mashup page, where the widgets use the accessed calendar information so that the widgets provide information to the recipients of the calendared event. In this manner, the widgets provide information that normally would be accessible by the participants via links to a myriad of disjoint applications thereby negating the fractured experience of the participants. Upon finalizing the mashup page, the mashup page is saved as a Uniform Resource Location (URL) in the created/edited calendar entry. The mashup page is later transmitted by the mashup server to the recipients of the calendar entry.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an extensible markup language schema definition (XSD) including multiple elements having a datatype. Each of the multiple elements may include an attribute profile defining a presence or an absence of at least one attribute. A first two or more of the multiple elements may include a first particular attribute profile. The method may further include generating a first grammar based on the XSD. The first grammar may be associated with encoding and decoding extensible markup language (XML) documents based on the XSD to and from efficient XML interchange (EXI) streams. The first grammar may also be associated with the first particular attribute profile. The method may further include associating each of the first two or more of the multiple elements with the first grammar.

Abstract: A method of reproducing a content item includes monitoring an input operation.
