  • Publication number: 20230393564
    Abstract: To provide enhanced search capabilities in a process control system, a knowledge repository is generated that includes both contextual data and time series data. The contextual data organizes process plant-related data according to semantic relations between the process plant-related data and the process plant entities. When a user submits a process plant search query related to process plant entities within a process plant, search results are obtained by identifying a data set from the knowledge repository. The contextual data categorizes process parameters so that users can search for a particular process parameter category. Users can tag previous searches to execute them once again at a later time.

  • Patent number: 6105043
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for creating macro language files for executing SQL queries in a relational database management system via the World Wide Web of the Internet. In accordance with the present invention, Web users can request information from RDBMS software via HTML input forms, which request is then used to create an SQL statement for execution by the RDBMS software. The results output by the RDBMS software are themselves transformed into HTML format for presentation to the Web user.

  • Patent number: 6073161
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for resolving multi-authoring conflicts that result when multiple users at client computers on a network computer system read and write to the same network file comprised of a plurality of objects. A first client computer downloads a network file from a network drive and creates and edits a client version of the network file on the first client computer. A second client computer downloads the same network file from the network drive. To determine whether there is a conflict between modifications made by the second client computer to the network file and editing to objects in the client version by the first client computer, a determination is made as to whether the network file was modified by the second client computer while the first client computer was editing the client version.
