Abstract: A portal includes one or more portal pages. Each portal page is associated with one or more ontology-based dictionaries. One or more portlets provide content for the portal pages, such that each portal page includes instances of one or more of the portlets. Each portal page is associated with the dictionaries and described using these dictionaries. Each portlet is associated with the ontology-based dictionaries and described using these dictionaries. A broker governs interaction among the portlets and between the portlets and the portal pages by using the ontology-based dictionaries. For instance, the broker governs interaction among the portlets, and between the portlets and the portal pages, by using the ontology-based dictionaries in that properties of the portlets and/or properties of the portal pages that are differently named but correspond to a same attribute are equated as identical via the ontology-based dictionaries.

Abstract: A system and method for providing management such as creation, manipulation, storage, control, and retrieval of digital content for a company on a global basis. Digital content is created and stored in, for example, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format using the relationship between component mapping information and content information comprising webpage components. The XML data is developed by defining page components, mapping the components on a page and indexing the page for future retrieval of the page. The data is then stored in a single database, as segments related to the page, for call-up by a user.

Abstract: A method of decoding, composing and rendering a scene. First information is obtained, the first information including a part of a MPEG-4 BIFS scene description stream and at least one coded MPEG-4 media stream. The first information is decoded by invoking a BIFS scene decoder and one or more specific media decoders that are required by the scene. Second information is obtained, the second information including a second part of a BIFS scene description stream that contains a reference to an external application. The second information is decoded by invoking the BIFS scene decoder and an external application decoder. An integrated scene is composed, the integrated scene including one or more decoded MPEG-4 media objects and one or more external application objects specified in the decoded scene descriptions streams. The composed integrated scene is rendered on a display.

Abstract: A transcoder that converts text-based computer software instructions or code intended for use by a presentation engine into a binary code adapted for use by a constrained function presentation engine.

Abstract: Grouping blocks of text according to user-defined contexts, and editing group specific blocks can be used to improve document consistency during editing and revising of electronic documents. A change made in one block often requires appropriate changes to be made in other blocks that are contextually related to the changed block. Such changes are made to ensure this consistency. Commands that deal with block groups (such as, create group, add block to group(s), delete block from group(s), edit group, merge group, etc.) are provided to assist a user in editing documents.

Abstract: A system and method capturing, in a computer system, data relating to a note-taking session, the session consisting of handwritten annotations made by a user by way of a writing implement on a plurality of pages. The method includes the steps of receiving, in the computer system and via the writing implement, an indication of the start of the note-taking session, data indicative of the handwritten annotations made by said user on the plurality of pages, an indication of the end of the note-taking session, and retaining a retrievable record of the received data for the note-taking session. Starting, ending and printing a note-taking session takes place by way of printed command buttons for designation by the writing implement, which buttons may be printed on each page, or on a part of a backing sheet of a notepad of pages extending beyond the periphery of the pages themselves.

The method also includes of inserting the second group of information blocks in the document, inserting a signaling block in the document, and inserting the first group of information blocks in the document after the signaling block. The method is especially useful in optimizing the on-the-fly processing an XML document.

Abstract: A wizard is utilized when creating a server-based transactional Web page application. The wizard keeps track of the interdependencies of the Web pages, any data accesses required for any of the Web pages, and any rules for presenting a different sequence of Web pages based upon differing aspects of anticipated user input. The wizard can then be used to access the required data if a user selection is made to download the application and run the application off-line at a client that is disconnected from the network. When running off-line, the wizard plays back the downloaded pages of the application in a sequence dependent upon the tracked interdependencies and received user input. When running off-line, the wizard controls the dynamic presentation of the downloaded pages and provides the required data to enable the transactional pages of the application to be completed.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing bidirectional transformation between a first structured document and a second structured document is disclosed. A transformation rule having primitive rules each of which is applicable to respective one of elements specified in units of paths within the first structured document is prepared. A forward transformation is performed, which transforms the first structured document into the second structured document in accordance with the transformation rule. At that time, a transformation record is created. The record contains which primitive rules were applied and which paths were transformed in the forward transformation. The transformed second structured document may be edited by an application-side. After that, a backward transformation is performed, which transforms the second structured document into the first structured document with referral to the transformation record, the transformation rule, and the first structured document.
