Abstract: The system for end-to-end content publishing using XML with an object dependency graph is based on the following two design principles: First, separation of content and style: Information stored in the content management system is independent on how it is going to be presented. The presentation style is encapsulated elsewhere and can be used to customize the look and feel based on the end-user preferences as well as the delivery methods and devices. Second, reusability of information content: By encapsulating common information in fragments and subfragments and making these fragments insertable in other fragments, thereby avoid scattering and duplication of information. This enables a user to restrict the edit operations to a limited number of relevant fragments, to affect global changes. In addition, the present invention provides data consistency and data integrity in the content management.

Abstract: A system and method automatically generate an on-line document from raw text into an engaging, interactive form for a plurality of viewers. Unstructured articles are read from an information feed. A computation process extracts and tags proper names of people, products, organizations, and places and categorizes them. An image database is used to link these proper names with image files. The image database consists of a series of attribute-value pairs for active searching of names. A URL query string is input to the database to extract the location of the image in the database file system. An Extensible Markup Language (XML) file is created from the raw text of the article, the list of proper names in the processed data and the image file references. The XML file is stored in a file system. An Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) file provides templates containing computational relationships between the text and images.

Abstract: A personalized web page is generated by an Electronic Publishing System (EPS) based on predetermined profiles representative of the user's optimum mode of learning. The user's optimum mode of learning is based upon the Theory of Multiple Intelligences for seven (7) different modes of learning. An algorithm calculates user profiles based upon the learning theory. Alternatively, the user fills out a questionnaire provided by the system to determine the user's optimum mode of learning. The questionnaire elicits answers used to calculate the user's optimum mode of learning. An algorithm calculates the user's profile and encodes the profile as a vector of weights for the seven modes of learning. Document templates are created to define the structure of information to be presented to the user.

Abstract: A method on an information processing unit performing steps for creating a user interface (UI) to assemble a document that conforms to a particular document type definition. The method hides the specific syntax of document type definitions such as DTDs and schemas from the user. The method begins with a selection from a user for a document type or an existing document. Once the document type is selected or determined from the existing document the document type definitions are retrieved. The document type definitions include one or more elements. The method parses the elements which are subsequently mapped to one or more interface controls such as icons, pull-down menus, buttons, selection boxes, progress indicators, on-off checkmarks, scroll bars, windows, window edges for resizing the window, toggle buttons, forms, and UI widgets. UI can be GUIs or interactive voice response systems.
