Abstract: Method of processing at least one digital graphical document represented in a predetermined markup language in which at least one software display program of browser type is used for displaying such a document, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: i) transforming the original document (ISVG1) displayed in read mode into an editable version in the markup language according to a set of predefined transformation rules not linked to the document, said transformation rules incorporating a set of rules for writing to the document; ii) interacting via the software display program with the said editable version (ISVG2) in order to modify said editable version according to said set of writing rules; and iii) transforming the editable version thus modified into a version in read mode (ISVG3) incorporating the modifications made during step ii).

Abstract: A method of requesting the execution of a function in a client computer system (“client”) in a client-server environment, the function being applicable to a data object processed by a server computer system (“server”). The method comprises the prior steps of obtaining (S301) an interface of the object and selecting (S303, S305) a function from the interface. This method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: determining (S307) the types of different results sent back as a result of the execution of the function, from result type identification information, encoded in the interface; selecting (S309) at least one desired result type from the result type identification information; generating (S311) a message invoking the function, the invoking message including a list of desired results, each item of the list indicating a selected type of result; sending (S313) the message invoking the function to the server.

Abstract: A description document for a service offered by a server in a communication network comprises a first abstract part adapted to describe at least one message exchanged on the communication network when a service is implemented and a second concrete part adapted to describe the information relating to the transmission of the messages over the communication network. This service description document comprises, in the first abstract part, a description of abstract constraints associated with a binary multimedia document. It has particular use for validating a multimedia document from the extraction (E11) of the description of abstract constraints and the extraction (E12) of the MPEG7 description of this multimedia document.

Abstract: A table is obtained comprising, for each request emanating from the client device, at least one line of correspondence between at least the address (U) of the request, a first filter (f) defining information to be kept for the request without modifying the sense of the request, a location containing a simplified request resulting from the application of the first filter to the request, and a location containing a response. In response to a request emanating from a client device, the corresponding line is selected, at least one condition for the supply of the response from the corresponding location is verified and, in the case of positive verification, the response is supplied to the client device from the location containing said response.

Abstract: A method of offering a service provided by a server computer in a communication network comprises a step (E11) of sending a service description document comprising a description of a functionality implemented during a preprocessing or post-processing of data in XML format of a message exchanged during the execution of the service on the communication network.

Abstract: A method of proposing a service provided by a server computer in a communication network comprises a step (S11) of sending a service description document comprising information relating to a communication protocol including a description of at least one functionality implemented by said communication protocol on the execution of said service on the communication network.

Abstract: An electronic document for describing a service proposed by a server computer of a communication network, comprises a first part adapted to describe messages exchanged between computers of the communication network and a second part adapted to comprise information relating to the transmission of messages over the communication network.
