Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a software transformation system is provided that may include a business asset extraction sub-system. The business asset extraction sub-system is typically configured to analyze a legacy computer application and create a mechanical fabric representing computer-implemented operations of the legacy computer application, and to create a semantic model representing operator-perceived meanings attached to interactions with the legacy application. The business asset extraction sub-system is further typically configured to create links between related portions of the mechanical fabric and the semantic model. The mechanical fabric comprises a network of nodes and associations between nodes, the nodes and associations representing one or more system interface objects, computer programs, and data access points, and a physical data model configured to store data records utilized by the legacy computer application.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a color standardization code and methods of making and using same and, more particularly, to a color standardization code that is represented by an alphanumeric set of characters that encodes the formulation of the color in any specified system of products.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a standardized color formulation apparatus and methods of making and using same and, more particularly, to a standardized color formulation apparatus that is capable of formulating a selected color across one or more materials—i.e. the standardized color formulation apparatus is capable of formulating a selected color for any colorable product and is thus material independent.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a color standardization affiliation and methods of making and using same and, more particularly, to a color standardization affiliation that includes a host, a color specification system, a formulation system, and product providers capable of providing a colorable product having a desired color to a consumer.
