Abstract: Systems and methods electronically uniquely imprint a digital watermark on produced resources, such as on data or electronic documents produced by an online software platform (OSP), in nearly invisible ways that are likely to survive subsequent processing. In one embodiment the OSP stores a plurality of resource digital rules used for producing resources for respective relationship instances of primary entities with other entities; receives a dataset on behalf of a primary entity, in which the dataset includes data representing a relationship instance between the primary entity and a secondary entity; in response to the received dataset, produces a resource based on applying one or more of the plurality of resource digital rules to the dataset; and digitally watermarks the produced resource with a digital watermark such that the produced resource is identifiable via the digital watermark as having been produced by the OSP.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a program neighborhood of a client node in a client-server network is described. The program neighborhood of the client node includes application programs hosted by application servers on the network. The present invention enables a user of a client node to learn of these application programs. The user is not required to know where to find such applications or to manually establish links to such applications. To make the client node aware of its program neighborhood, a host server collects application-related information corresponding to application programs hosted by the servers in the network. The application-related information can include the application name, the server location of the application, minimum capabilities required of client nodes for executing the application, and those users who are authorized to use that application. User credentials are received from the client system. The user credentials are used to filter the application-related information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for administering a remote server having a subsystem in communication with an event bus. In one aspect of the present invention, an administration tool for administering a server has a subsystem in communication with an event bus. The administration tool includes a graphical user interface communications channel and a graphical user interface module corresponding to the server subsystem, wherein the graphical user interface module is in communication with the channel. The administration tool also includes a transport module in communication with the channel and the graphical user interface module. The graphical user interface module transmits an administration command to the corresponding server subsystem by sending the command to the transport module via the communications channel.
