Abstract: A network-based communication and information discovery solution that pertains to network-accessible resources and the use of interlinks among resources. In one embodiment, dynamic interlinking of resources is proposed, wherein the resources reside in a web-based system and are accessible via web-clients. The resources can be representable by an administrator in a graph-like structure interlinking the resources with each other and thus defining a navigation model. An extended navigation model can be implemented by a user-generated, individual or collaborative interlinking functionality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for storing and retrieving tags. Each tag is associated with a resource, upon a user's request. A tagging GUI is displayed which presents the available tags for one particular resource and/or a tag cloud GUI is displayed which presents tags for more than one resource. The tagging GUI allows to assign new tags to single resources. The tag cloud GUI enables users to search for resources which have been assigned certain tags. In the tag cloud GUI the relevancy of each single tag is visually reflected by its weighting factor which is determined by the frequency of occurrence.

Abstract: A server system and methodology include the following operations. A request for tags associated with a resource is received from a tag widget associated with the resource. Responsive to the request, a tag weighting engine is executed that identifies the tags and determines, respectively, individual overall weighting factors for each of the tags. The tags and associated overall weighting factors are forwarded to the tag widget within the client. The individual overall weighting factors for a particular tag is based upon a combination of weighting factors including a context weight factor for the particular tag. The context weighting factor for the particular tag is based upon a past context for the particular tag specified by a past user and an active context in which a user of the tag widget is operating.

Abstract: A portal system is provided for dynamically accessing a data source of components for use within a composite application by parsing the data source to identify the components matching a predetermined functionality specification standard indicating a specific functionality requirement for the components to possess. Then the identified components are ranked according to predetermined ranking criteria that has been adjusted to the composite application. Components are selected from the ranked identified components and also a list is defined of the selected usable components from the ranking. At least a subset of the selected usable components are stored in a local storage and the composite application is deployed from the selected usable components.

Abstract: Tagging a resource in a network with a tag belonging to a tag type includes creating, using a processor, a tag and relating the tag to the resource, categorizing the tag into a tag type, registering the tag type in a registry, associating tag type attributes to the tag type, associating a subset of the tag type attributes of the tag type to the tag, and associating a tag type attribute value to each member of the subset of the tag type attributes of the tag. The tag, the tag type, the subset of tag type attributes of the tag, and associated tag type attribute values are stored. Using the processor, a dynamically linkable executable program logic is triggered based on the subset of tag type attributes and the tag type attribute values.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for searching resources via an application in a user interface framework that initiates a first search request via a search engine interface and receives a search result and associated resource types in response to the first search request. The method further maps the associated resource types to at least one user interface control class of a plurality of user interface control classes resulting in at least one selected class group and dynamically maps the at least one selected class group to a corresponding instance of user interface controls. The method further renders the search result and the corresponding instance into a faceted user interface, receives an input via the corresponding instance rendered into the faceted user interface, filters the search result based on the input to generate a filtered search result, and renders the filtered search result into the faceted search interface.

Abstract: A method for extending a tag of an information resource in an information network may be provided. The method may include providing a group of tags, stored in a database, in a user interface, and selecting at least one tag out of the group of tags and linking the tag to an information resource using the user interface. Furthermore, the method may include extending the tag, such that the resulting extended tag may be a semantically structured string of characters building a first expression including a first operand, a first operator and a first value, wherein the tag may be the operand, such that the extended tag is machine-interpretable by a parser, such that the information resource may be tagged with the machine-interpretable, extended tag.
