Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for dynamically maintaining user centric data. For example, a data provider app may have knowledge about user centric data associated with a user (e.g., a social network app may have contact information for a social network friend of the user). A user centric profile may be defined for the user centric data based upon information provided by the data provider app (e.g., a contact card may be generated for the social network friend). Responsive to receiving a request for the user centric profile from a requestor app (e.g., an event planning app), the user centric profile may be exposed to the user but not to the requestor app for security and/or privacy purposes. For example, an operating system may present at least some of the user centric profile within an operating system user interface.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for dynamically maintaining a service profile. That is, a user may be associated with a variety of services, such as an email service, a social network service, a photo sharing service, etc. An operating system may dynamically provide support for services by maintaining service profiles. For example, a service provider application may specify a service definition defining a service not yet supported (e.g., a social network app may describe functionality and/or information about a new social network service). A service profile may be generated for the service based upon the service definition. The service profile may be exposed to system components and/or applications that may utilize the service profile to access information and/or functionality provided by service (e.g., a camera system component may allow a user to upload a photo to the new social network service utilizing the service profile).

Abstract: Modular content framework and document format methods and systems are described. The described framework and format define a set of building blocks for composing, packaging, distributing, and rendering document-centered content. These building blocks define a platform-independent framework for document formats that enable software and hardware systems to generate, exchange, and display documents reliably and consistently. The framework and format have been designed in a flexible and extensible fashion. In addition to this general framework and format, a particular format, known as the reach package format, is defined using the general framework. The reach package format is a format for storing paginated documents. The contents of a reach package can be displayed or printed with full fidelity among devices and applications in a wide range of environments and across a wide range of scenarios.

Abstract: Documents distributed in parallel are processed. One or more digital document packages are received, where each digital document package includes a content portion and an identity-verification code (IVC) verifying an identity of a source from which the digital document package is received. Each IVC may be a private-key encryption of a content-verification code hashed from the content portion of each digital document package. A master digital document package is created, which includes a master content portion equivalent to the content portion in each unmodified digital document package, and one or more different IVCs, each IVC obtained from a digital document package received from a different source.

Abstract: Methods and systems for mapping between components of a packaging model and features of a physical representation of a package are provided. Components of a packaging model may include, by way of example only, a part name, a content type, the contents of a part, and/or a growth hint. Physical representations of a package may include, by way of example only, physical persistence formats and/or various transports, e.g., network-based protocols. Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing the disclosed methods, as well as computers programmed to perform the disclosed methods, are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein provide a name-based access mechanism that can enable name-based requests to be generated and sent to a server to retrieve correspondingly named parts of a document. In at least some embodiments, a resource designator associated with the document is wrapped or encapsulated using a special scheme which appends a name associated with the desired document part to the encapsulated resource designator Once a server receives the encapsulated resource designator, the server can locate the named document part and stream or otherwise provide the document part to the requesting client device.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing access to individual resources stored within a package. The system enables a client to access the resources without having to access the entire package. The system allows a client to reference the different resources within the package through use of a URI scheme. The URI scheme of the present invention is composed through a method of combining the URI for the package and the URI for the resource. The URI scheme of the present invention is able to work with any scheme, thereby enabling the URI scheme to be universal and not protocol-specific.

Abstract: A relationship data structure associated with a source resource enables methods to discover and describe relationships between the source resource and a plurality of target resources. The relationships are stored in a format independent of the encoding of the source resource. Each relationship between the source resource and the plurality of target resources is stored in a content-neutral format, and the relationship data structure stores, a location of each target resource, a type of relationship with each target resource and an identifier to uniquely identify each relationship between the source resource and each target resource. Accordingly, the relationship data structure allows a decoder to directly discover the relationships between the source resource and the plurality of target resources without decoding the source resource or target resources.
