Abstract: A method of and system for providing content and services includes web-based application that is hosted on a server. The application includes web-provided services and private data. The private data is contained in a data source. The application includes a place holder for the private data. The place holder is tagged with the data type, format, and data elements required for the application. A personal syndication manager that is associated with an application user. The personal syndication manager is communication with the server. The personal syndication manager is also in communication with registered data sources. The personal subscription manager is configured to convert the private data to a content syndication format required by the application. The personal subscription manager is also configured to terminate a subscription upon the occurrence of an event, such as the expiration a subscription period.

Abstract: Business processes are constructed and/or modified utilizing system knowledge including a folksonomy that stores information regarding a group of services usable by composition applications that collects system monitored services usage information and user inputs. In one aspect, candidate services are recommended and/or automatically updated/replaced, which can implement aspects of a business process from the group of services based upon information derived from the system knowledge. In another aspect, a composition design component interacts with a user to build and/or modify services based upon identified aspect of business processes to be implemented by services, wherein the component design component recommends candidate services that can implement the aspects of the business processes from the group of services based upon information derived from the system knowledge.

Abstract: Business processes are implemented using a collection component for storing system knowledge comprising usage history and user input relative to activities within community of users, where the system knowledge comprises at least a folksonomy. At least one of a user client component interacts with the data collection component to enable a corresponding user to contribute user-derived information to the folksonomy and a monitoring component monitors activities associated with the community of users and interacts with the data collection component to contribute usage information to the system knowledge. Still further, a composition design application interacts with a user to build and/or modify processes built using services, wherein the composition design application recommends candidate services that can implement aspects of the business processes based upon information derived from the system knowledge.

Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for providing in-context total document views for manipulating data are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: displaying an active context of a software program on a User Interface (UI); receiving a copy command for a copied element from the active context; in response to a control signal, displaying an access view of one or more secondary contexts of the software program; temporarily activating a selected context from the secondary contexts shown in the access view while continuing to display the active context on the UI; and pasting the copied element into the selected context. Preferably, in response to the copied element being pasted into the selected secondary context, the access view is automatically removed from the UI.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed for achieving “image globalization” through dynamic text generation and manipulation by independently translating textual elements within a graphic image into different languages (or other domains of use). This concept can be used in creating multiple text-containing graphic images (each customized for a specific domain of use) from an initial template or master image of any type.

Abstract: Determining and storing at least one validated results set in a global ontology database for future use by an entity that subscribes to the global ontology database. If global ontology data is stored in a global ontology database, attempt to determine a mapping between first and second ontologies. If a mapping between the first and second ontologies can be determined from the global ontology data, the mapping is validated and the validated mapping is defined as a validated results set. If global ontology data is not stored in a global ontology database or a mapping between the first and second ontologies can not be determined from global ontology data stored in the global ontology database, the first and second ontologies are unified by determining a mapping between the first and second ontologies, the mapping is validated and the validated mapping is defined as a validated results set.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and system for invoking service offerings. The method can include the steps of initiating (320) a push-to-service request, enabling (304) a Voice Recognition Server (VRS), ranking (306) a list of supported service offerings, and presenting the list on a display for identifying at least one service offering that is available as a service to the user. The method and system can include speaking (308) a voice request for selecting at least one service presented on the display, and establishing (310) a communication dialogue with a service provider of the service for connecting the service provider for providing the service to the user. The push-to-service request can be invoked by a user depressing a service button (120) on the first communication unit (100) using a push-action. The VRS (220) can handle the voice request and generate a list of service offerings ranked by priority for presentation on the display.
