  • Patent number: 7370061
    Abstract: A technique for optimizing the archival and management of data stored as XML documents is capable of handling mixed data including highly structured data and unstructured data. The technique maps the structured data to a relational database while storing the unstructured data in its native XML format. The data is updated using a rules database that maps updating rules against attributes and classes of elements within the documents. A document checking/validation engine performs the updates based on rule verification. A search engine searches the documents using both a path index table and a weighted content index.

  • Publication number: 20070130206
    Abstract: A system and method for using heterogeneous data from multiple healthcare information sources in a medical decision support system is disclosed. Each healthcare information system stores medical data using a different local schema. The medical decision support system provides responses to user queries. A query is received from a user that is generated in a standardized global schema. The query includes information from medical ontologies. Database queries are generated from the user queries that use the medical ontologies to generate constraints in the queries. The medical ontologies are also used to infer database queries. The generated query is translated into multiple queries for the multiple healthcare systems wherein each query is in the local schema of the healthcare information system that is being queried. Each database query is transmitted to one of the healthcare information systems based on the local schema of the particular query.

  • Publication number: 20070112599
    Abstract: A method and system for generation and validation of clinical reports with built-in automated measurement and decision support is provided. XML templates may be used for ensuring report data quality. The template data may include static, dynamic, calculated data, and others. The validation method may be based on formal logical constraint specifications. The constraint descriptions may include data types, cardinality, order, co-occurrence, Boolean logic, read-only data, regular expression patterns, etc. The method can be used to validate collected data on-the-fly based on constraint specifications without human interaction.

  • Patent number: 7152205
    Abstract: An adaptive transformation and User Interface system enables transformation of a file or document (e.g. an SGML, XML, HTML or other multimedia file or document) from one format to another format. The transformation supports error correction, filtering and collation of elements of a source document for output and is performed in response to control information comprising transformation parameters. The system transforms a document encoded in a language including presentation style determination attributes from a first format to a different second format. The system includes a source of transformation parameters determining a desired presentation style and content structure as well as an input document processor. The input document processor transforms a received input document in a first format by parsing the input document and collating elements of the input document into a hierarchically ordered structure representing an intermediate document structure.

  • Patent number: 7120642
    Abstract: A Product Document Constraint Specification Language (PDCSL) is provided for a document author to represent various types of documentation guidelines that must be enforced within documents or across different documents. A Document Constraint Analyzer (DCA) takes as input a set of document files together with a document constraint specification file, extracts and examines the contents, attributes, and relationships associated with the document objects, and evaluates the logical expressions specified in the document constraints. If a document constraint is not satisfied, an action can be taken to correct the documents or provide an explanation to the document author.

  • Patent number: 6865714
    Abstract: An automatic card-based presentation generation system programmatically creates card-based presentation documents from source documents by transforming a card layout style specification into presentation specifications which at run-time, are used to generate formatting object descriptions. The formatting object descriptions are then used to actually create card-based presentation documents. The invention includes a presentation style transformer and a card-based presentation generator. The presentation style transformer takes a card layout style specification (CLSS) and a card display schema (CDS) and transforms them into card-based presentation specifications (CPS). The card-based presentation generator takes the card-based presentation specifications and a card-based document content to create formatting object descriptions.
