Patent number: 7836094Abstract: Modular content framework and document format methods and systems are described. The described framework and format define a set of building blocks for composing, packaging, distributing, and rendering document-centered content. These building blocks define a platform-independent framework for document formats that enable software and hardware systems to generate, exchange, and display documents reliably and consistently. The framework and format have been designed in a flexible and extensible fashion. In addition to this general framework and format, a particular format, known as the reach package format, is defined using the general framework. The reach package format is a format for storing paginated documents. The contents of a reach package can be displayed or printed with full fidelity among devices and applications in a wide range of environments and across a wide range of scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Ornstein, Andrey Shur, Mike Hillberg, Brian Jones, Daniel Emerson, Jerry Dunietz, Oliver Foehr, Bruce MacKenzie, Jean Paoli, Josh Pollock, Sarjana Sheth

Publication number: 20060242105Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing access to individual resources stored within a package. The system enables a client to access the resources without having to access the entire package. The system allows a client to reference the different resources within the package through use of a URI scheme. The URI scheme of the present invention is composed through a method of combining the URI for the package and the URI for the resource. The URI scheme of the present invention is able to work with any scheme, thereby enabling the URI scheme to be universal and not protocol-specific.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrey Shur, Bruce MacKenzie, David Ornstein, Jerry Dunietz, Young Kim, Sarjana Sheth, Alexei Vopilov

Publication number: 20060242184Abstract: A relationship data structure associated with a source resource enables methods to discover and describe relationships between the source resource and a plurality of target resources. The relationships are stored in a format independent of the encoding of the source resource. Each relationship between the source resource and the plurality of target resources is stored in a content-neutral format, and the relationship data structure stores, a location of each target resource, a type of relationship with each target resource and an identifier to uniquely identify each relationship between the source resource and each target resource. Accordingly, the relationship data structure allows a decoder to directly discover the relationships between the source resource and the plurality of target resources without decoding the source resource or target resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrey Shur, Bruce MacKenzie, Charles Walker, David Ornstein, Jerry Dunietz, Joshua Pollock, Sarjana Sheth, Isaac Nichols
