Abstract: A domain processor includes at least one robot modeler, at least one domain modeler, and at least one Query Processor Modeler. The robot modeler includes means for modeling at least one computer-based robot, the robot adapted for accessing at least one web-based data source including entities in a predefined domain. The domain modeler includes means for modeling at least one domain model and means for establishing at least one extraction model and at least one storage model. The Query Processor Modeler includes means for selecting at least two Query Processor elements from a set of predefined query processor elements, means for combining the selected Query Processor elements, and means for executing the associated query processor elements on at least one computer system, at least one of the query processor elements of the associated query processor elements being a Robot query processor Element adapted for accessing the web-based data source.

Abstract: “The invention relates to a method of rendering at least one element E in a client browser CB at a client CL, where the element E is defined at an intermediate web server IWS by element representative data ERD and where the element is obtained from at least one data source DS, the method including the steps of performing an analytical rendering AR having a transformation of the element representative data ERD into analytically expressed element defining data AEEDD including unknown quantities UQ, performing a visual rendering where the unknown quantities UQ are substituted with client specific factors CSF.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing web clipping at an intermediate clip server (ICS)—performing an intermediate rendering (VR1) by—accessing at least one source web site (SWS),—executing some or all scripts of a web document of the accessed source web site (SWS),—establishing a clip instance (CI) on the basis of said intermediate rendering (VR1)—transmitting said clip instance (CI) to a client browser (CB). According to the invention, an effective and robust web clipping has been obtained as scripts may be executed and the relevant data imported into the clip although the scripts may be external, i.e. not included in the clip as such. Moreover, the desired web clipping may be established on the basis of external links or other data external to the clip-defining HTML.

Abstract: The invention relates to a domain processor (DP) comprising: at least one robot modeller (RM); at least one domain modeller (DMR); at least one Query Processor Modeller (QPM), said robot modeller (RM) comprising: means for modelling at least one computer-based robot (R); said at least one robot (R) being adapted for accessing at least one web-based data source (DS); said at least data source (DS) comprising entities comprised in a predefined domain (D); said at least one domain modeller (DMR) comprising: means for modelling at least one domain model (DM); means for establishing at least one extraction model (EM) associated with a chosen domain; means for establishing at least one storage model (STM) associated with said chosen domain, said at least one Query Processor Modeller (QPM) comprising: means for selecting at least two Query Processor elements (QPE) from a set of predefined query processor elements (QPE); means for combining at least two of the selected Query Processor elements (QPE); means for execut
