Abstract: A method of automatically generating models from a dataset includes multiple steps. First, a description of a view of a dataset is provided. The description includes multiple fields associated with the dataset. Next, a set of properties is determined for each of the multiple fields. Finally, the description is automatically translated into one or more models based on the respective properties of the multiple fields and a set of predefined heuristics.

Abstract: Minimal memory access times are realized by using a single access to a read-modify-write bank. read-modify-write memory including at least one read-or-write bank is operated in a manner that uses at most one access to each of the at least one read-or-write banks for each read-modify-write access to the memory during a memory cycle. The access can be effected during a single clock cycle and can be used for read, write and read-modify-write memory access.

Abstract: A system and method for parallel rendering of images are described. Image information is stored into at least one buffer for display on a plurality of display modules. A predetermined number of image units from said image information are mapped to each display module of said plurality of display modules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for electronic notification of multi-relational ontology dynamics. The system may include providing alerts to one or more users upon changes in the content of one or more ontologies. Alerts may be provided according to individual user profiles that may specify alert frequency, content, and/or format.

Abstract: The invention relates to the structure of an upper ontology and a system and method for utilizing an upper ontology in the creation of one or more multi-relational ontologies. The invention includes an upper ontology of predefined concept and relationship types, and a predefined set or relationships that may be used to connect particular pairs of concepts. The concept and relationship types may be dictated by the knowledge domains in which the resultant ontology is to reside. The invention may also include a hierarchy of concept types wherein the relationships that may exist between concept types is specified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for graphically displaying ontology data. The invention includes displaying assertions as concept-relationship-concept triplets. The invention also includes displaying ontologies, or parts thereof, as directed graphs capable of cyclic paths. Furthermore, the invention includes displaying ontologies, or parts thereof, in clustered cone graphs, wherein each cluster within a clustered cone graph represents a group of concepts or relationships, which share a common quality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for knowledge capture using multi-relational ontologies. The system may enable an ontology service provider to ascertain the scope of an entity's knowledge capture needs, create one or more base ontologies from publicly available sources, and incorporate the entity's private data into one or more value-added custom ontologies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for the enrichment and curation of concept, relationship, and assertion information into a multi-relational ontology. The invention includes a system enabling a curator, or other person, to verify the validity of assertions created by predetermined rules. The curator may also manually edit, delete, or add assertions to an ontology.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for parsing and/or exporting one or more multi-relational ontologies. The system may apply a set of export constraints to one or more master ontologies to produce a redacted data subset. The redacted data subset may then be exported to a specified location or application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for data extraction and management in multi-relational ontology creation. The system of the invention includes selecting a corpus of documents containing information relevant to a targeted knowledge domain, extracting assertions and their constituent concepts and relationships from the corpus, and storing the assertions, wherein the extraction processes may rules and utilize natural language processing.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a system and method for creating custom multi-relational ontologies. The invention includes a system and method for creating a master ontology and the application of one or more customizing constraints to the master ontology. Also provided are methods for creating custom ontologies using path-finding and creation of custom ontologies by applying customizing constraints to extraction, assembly, curation, and publication processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for facilitating user interaction with multi-relational ontologies. The invention includes a graphical user interface for enabling user visualization and navigation through one or more multi-relational ontologies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for creating, editing, using one or more multi-relational ontologies and applying knowledge contained in one or more ontologies to one or more applications. The system may extract concepts, relationships, assertions and other information from a domain specific corpus of documents. The system may also create rule-based assertions that are then curated and published as one or more ontologies that can be used in various ways.
