Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for a case-based reasoning using universal ontologies. Embodiments of the systems and methods provide for comparing current and past cases based on the universal ontologies and sorting the past cases based on the comparison, wherein the universal ontology integrates authority information associated with the current and past cases.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for a case-based reasoning using universal ontologies. Embodiments of the systems and methods provide for comparing current and past cases based on the universal ontologies, wherein the universal ontology integrates information associated with the current and past cases with at least one reasoning system.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for semantically aligning data tables, controlled domain vocabularies, and domain ontologies. The systems and methods provide for aligning the data tables, controlled domain vocabularies, and domain ontologies based on a proxy table ontology representing a physical syntactical structure of the data table.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for creating product classification taxonomies using universal product classification ontologies, as well as the version-managing thereof. Embodiments of the systems and methods enable the creation of human and computer interpretable, self-consistent, and global semantic knowledge structures covering multiple product domains, each organized as a hierarchical taxonomy of explicit and unambiguous product definitions. Embodiments of the systems and methods also provide for user interfaces for classifying unknown products using the universal product classification ontologies.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media relating to adapting existing data based on one or more new sets of data are provided. An exemplary method comprises extracting a data model from a new data set. The method further comprises determining one or more ontology assertions based on the extracted data model and modifying at least one existing ontology based on the one or more ontology assertions.

Abstract: The present invention is an adaptive system and method for forwarding data across a network. In an embodiment of the invention, the system and method of the present invention may subscribe to specific data-related events, determine if a stored ruleset applies to the data-related event, and execute the ruleset. Upon execution of the ruleset, a forwarding action may be required whereby particular recipients on a forwarding list associated with the ruleset may be notified of the data event.

Abstract: An inferential evaluation system for evaluating system capabilities relative to a set of requirements is provided. The inferential evaluation system includes a requirements modeling component configurable to be updated to model a set of requirements. The inferential evaluation system also includes a system descriptive modeling component configurable to be updated to model a system description of a first system to be analyzed. An evaluation model component is also included and is configured to relate the system description of the first system to requirements of the set of requirements in order to evaluate the capabilities of the first system to meet the set of requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling data traffic throughout a communication network includes a plurality of network interface devices in each subsystem. The interface devices are substantially identical throughout the network and each autonomously controls all data traffic thereacross.

Abstract: A system for providing data services in an evolutionary fashion as well as providing access to external data communication networks for subscribers to a circuit switched voice exchange includes a data services adjunct connected in series with presently existing voice communication paths.

Abstract: A data transport control apparatus including a storage medium independently accessible by a device interface controller for interconnecting the storage medium and peripherals, a communication bus control for interconnecting the storage medium and a communication bus and a microprocessor bus for interconnecting the storage medium and a microcomputer wherein all interconnections to the storage medium are effectively isolated from each other.

Abstract: A full service voice/data system includes a networking medium having a plurality of substantially identical subsystems interconnected thereto. Each subsystem includes a local voice information path and a local data information path, the local data information path including a masterless multiple access contention bus with collision detection.

Abstract: An apparatus for efficiently executing communication protocol conversions includes a plurality of peripheral interface devices each executing only a single communication protocol conversion whereby the processing capacity required is reduced for each such device. In addition, a single network wide uniform communication protocol is incorporated within each apparatus.

Abstract: A communication subsystem includes a plurality of peripheral interface devices, one or more network interface devices and, optionally, one or more gateway interface devices. Each and every interface device includes a uniform data transport controller that autonomously controls data traffic across the device associated therewith and executes all requisite communication protocol conversions.
