  • Patent number: 11625424
    Abstract: Apparatus for determining a meaning of an ontology term, the apparatus including an electronic processing device that compares the ontology term to a number of potential ontology term meanings, generates a matching score for the results of each comparison, the matching score being based on a similarity of the ontology term and the potential ontology term meaning and selects a potential ontology term as the ontology term meaning using the matching scores.

  • Patent number: 11409780
    Abstract: A system for categorising and referencing a document using an electronic processing device, wherein: the electronic o processing device reviews the content of the document to identify structures within the document; wherein the identified structures are referenced against a library of structures stored in a database; wherein the document is categorised according to the conformance of the identified structures with those of the stored library of structures; and wherein the categorised structure is added to the stored library.

  • Publication number: 20130227533
    Abstract: The invention concerns the transformation of executable code from one language to another. In particular, the invention concerns the automated transformation of code. The invention concerns methods software and computer systems for the creation of a tree comprised of nodes to be used in the transformation of code. The invention also concerns the methods, software and computer systems for the building of a parser to be used in the transformation of code. Finally, the invention also concerns an automated and iterative method of transforming, assessing and re-transforming code. The invention is advantageous in its ability to avoid usage of an intermediate transformation language and its high level of automation that reduces manual transformation and accordingly is more efficient and less costly.
