Abstract: A device (CGM) for generating a file (DS) in accordance with a grammar from a text document (D1, D2) containing structural data, comprising first means for creating structural labels from structural data, second means for creating semantic labels from a semantic analysis of the content, third means provided to associate the structural labels and the semantic labels in order to form label aggregates, fourth means for generating the file from these label aggregates by using predefined associations between aggregates and elements compliant with the grammar.

Abstract: When building applications from specifications and software components, a software component is associated to a semantic description comprising at least one pertinent term for defining each public operation this software component is able to perform. An analysis module receives a specification describing an application to be built, performs a semantic analysis of this specification to extract elementary requirements from the specification text and links between these elementary requirements, these links defining the structure of the specification. The analysis module extracts, for each elementary requirement, the pertinent terms it comprises and builds a semantic description based on its extracted pertinent terms and representing the semantics of this elementary requirement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assisting in the development or use of a complex system including a plurality of components whose states and/or operations are interdependent, with documentation of the system identifying such states and/or operations, characterized in that it includes the following steps: The step of identifying the system's use cases (24) in the documentation (10) by automatically searching for symbols related to a use of the system, The step of generating procedures based on such symbols, such that a procedure will describe an operation carried out by the system in one or more steps by means of its components, and the step of assisting the user by using object-oriented programming of its procedures based on a UML standard, for “Uniform Modelling Language”.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method (100) for creating a service based on a request. This method comprises a step of semantically analyzing (30) a natural-language request, such as one sent (20) from a mobile telephone or a personal digital assistant (150). In this manner, the request may be formulated (10) in natural language, without needing to possess any technical knowledge whatsoever. The semantic analysis (30) makes it possible to identify (35) Web service requirements (or specifications). Next, Web services are determined (40) and sequenced (50) based on the identified service requirements. A new service is then made available, such as to the user who made the natural-language request.

Abstract: A device (D), intended for automatically generating ontologies, comprises an analysis means (AM) arranged, each time that is received a term for which an ontology must be generated, i) for accessing a dictionary (DC) to determine a definition of this received term, then ii) for extracting pertinent terms from this determined definition, then iii) for accessing the dictionary (DC) to determine the definition of each of the extracted pertinent terms, then iv) for building, for each of the determined definitions of the received term and extracted pertinent terms, at least one logical clause expressing a relationship between pairs of pertinent terms it contains, these built logical clauses defining the ontology of the received term.

Abstract: A device (D) is intended for building compilable and executable applications (AP) from high-level representations of classes, each class storing data and/or implementing at least one public function and/or being able to activate at least one chosen public function of at least one other class.

Abstract: A device (D) is intended to work for at least one communication terminal (T) arranged for searching information in at least one information source (IS) when it is connected to it. This device (D) comprises i) a first means (FM) arranged for storing at least one semantic search request defining chosen information to be searched into the information source(s) (IS) at chosen instants for a chosen terminal user, ii) a second means (SM) arranged for interpreting the stored semantic request at these chosen instants, and iii) a third means (TM) arranged for automatically executing the semantic search request interpreted at the chosen instants, and for warning a user when information corresponding to his executed request has been found.

Abstract: A device (D), intended for building applications from specifications (AS) and software components, comprises i) a storing means (SM) for storing semantic software components, made of a software component associated to a semantic description comprising at least one pertinent term for defining each public operation this software component is able to perform, ii) an analysis means (AM) arranged, each time it receives a specification (AS) describing an application to be built, for performing a semantic analysis of this specification (AS) to extract elementary requirements from the specification text, and links between these elementary requirements, these links defining “the overall structure of the specification”, then for extracting, for each elementary requirement, the pertinent terms it comprises, and for building, for each elementary requirement, a “semantic description” based on its extracted pertinent terms and representing “the semantics of this elementary requirement”, then for accessing to the storing me

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, used by computers, for developing an ontology (70) of a text (10) in natural language, comprising the steps of: receiving text data from the text (10); extracting the syntax and meaningful words (20) from the text via a grammatical analysis (S100) of the received data; for each of at least some of the meaningful words (20) of the text: searching (S200) for a definition (40) of that word (20) by means of at least one electronic dictionary (30, 35), extracting the syntax and the meaningful words of that definition, and creating (S300) an elementary lexical graph (50) of that definition based on the syntax and the meaningful words of that definition; and merging (S400) at least two of the elementary lexical graphs (50) created, as a function of the syntax of the text, so as to create at least one semantic graph (60) of the text.

Abstract: The invention relates to a design pattern (70) adapted to be implemented on a computer in a sequence of elementary transformations of an object model (40). The invention also relates to a computer program product (50), for example comprising a wizard, adapted to interpret this pattern. It further relates to a method of transformation of an object model, comprising: a step (E2) of accession to said pattern and a step (E3) of execution of the object model's sequence of elementary transformations. Code can then be generated simply, systematically and without errors.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of producing a new web service, comprising the steps of: decomposition of data, for example a scenario and/or a use case into modeling elements of the new web service, conforming to an object modeling formalism; creation of an internal object model from the modeling elements; and transformation of modeling elements of the internal object module into modeling elements of an external metamodel. The latter step may be accompanied by a step of generating a code or a step of creating an XMI model via an XMI generator. The invention also concerns a computer program product adapted to implement the method of the invention and a computer file obtained by the method.
