Abstract: A method of marshalling on a computer communication network makes it possible to marshall a data object from a programming language used by a data processing application to a communication language which can be used by a communication protocol of the computer communication network. This marshalling method comprises the following steps: reading (E1) a data field included in the data object; substituting (E5-E7), for the data field, a computer address associated with the data field when the structure of the data field is complex; and storing (E5-E7) said computer address associated with the data field in a table of associations (T). Use notably for transferring data objects and executing remotely a function on a data object.

Abstract: A method of scheduling a document comprising juxtaposed information blocks, comprises a step (E11) of dividing the information blocks into two groups, a first group (V) comprising information blocks that can be processed on the fly, and a second group (NV) comprising the information blocks of the document not in the first group; of inserting (E13) the second group (NV) of information blocks; of inserting (E14) a signaling block; and of inserting (E15) the first group (V) of information blocks after the signaling block. This scheduling method is useful especially in order to optimize the on-the-fly processing of a document in XML language.

Abstract: A method for processing a portion of a computer document in a computer system, the content of the computer document being represented by a markup language, each tag of which having a name and a value, the computer document being associated with a second computer document, referred to as a “schema document”, the content of which is represented in a schema type markup language, the schema document defining the structure of the portion under consideration of the computer document. This processing method comprises the steps of: selection (S13) of a tag, referred to as the “current tag”, in the portion of the computer document; searching (S15-S21) in the schema document for at least one declarative tag of a function associated with the selected tag of the computer document; creation (S23, S25) of a list of functions applicable to the current tag of the computer document from at least one declarative tag of a function, found in the schema document.
