Abstract: A system and methods for implementing tag synchronization routines providing automated tag definition and management functionalities. Tag configurations are highly configurable to obtain information from multiple back end systems and able to support data access from many different sources. Additionally, the tag configurations provide convenient mechanisms by which to control data access and preserve data integrity in an automated manner.

Abstract: Some embodiments include determination and storage of a plurality of relational database tables based on class model representing tag-based data and non-tag-based data and on a plurality of objects instantiated based on the class model. Also included are reception of a selection of one object of the objects as a dimension of a logical model, reception of a first indication of a first plurality of members of the selected object to be associated with dimension data of the logical model, reception of a second indication of a second plurality of members of the selected object to be associated with fact data of the logical model, to create a dimension table associated with the selected object and including columns corresponding to the first plurality of members, and creation of a fact table including a foreign key column corresponding to the dimension table and including a column corresponding to each of the second plurality of members.

Abstract: A system and methods for retrieving and presenting data in a tag-based component environment. The disclosed system provides an efficient mechanism for associating point and non-point data using highly configurable data acquisition strategies. The data acquisition strategies incorporate customized retrieval routines to perform data acquisition at desired intervals so as to reduce unnecessary bandwidth consumption and computational overhead.

Abstract: A system and methods for retrieving and presenting data in a tag-based component environment. The disclosed system provides an efficient mechanism for associating point and non-point data using selected modeling approaches to organize and reference the data. The modeling approaches provide the ability generate customized retrieval routines that support reusable components incorporating direct and indirect referencing techniques.

Abstract: A model development system provides tools for developers to define reusable, object oriented components and views for collecting and displaying data from multiple sources, and for incorporating such reusable components and views into an informational model. Using the system, a developer can create a reusable component, create multiple instances of that component, and connect each such instance to one or more corresponding back-end data sources. The developer can also define one or more associated views that specify how data collected by the component from the back-end data sources is to be displayed. Many different components and views may be defined and deployed to build an informational model of a business entity, such as a business that operates processing or manufacturing plants in various locations.

Abstract: A system and method for retrieving and presenting data using class-based component and view model is disclosed. The disclosed system retrieves data of various formats, including relational data, point data and time-series data, and connects such data to class-based components and component members. Using a class based, i.e., object oriented model, it provides means for developers and users to define and modify reusable components, and means for developers and users to define and modify reusable views to present data in graphics including animation.
