A set of object classes provide a framework supporting user modification of user interface properties. The classes include a properties class which is a template for creation of property objects encapsulating property values and the view attributes (GUI information) required for creating views of the property via a user interface. Property objects provide a single mechanism for representing a particular property, allowing a number of different views to be open on the same property. User interactions with different views of a property via the user interface result in messages being sent to the same property object. If a property value is changed, then the chance is propagated back to all associated applications having views for the object and so view concurrency is automatically achieved.

A system for evaluating information. The system defines a set of properties and one or more values for each property and then assigns property-value combinations to items of information and to profiles. Information is then evaluated by determining how the property-value combinations assigned to the items of information match those assigned to a profile. Assignments of property-value combinations have ratings and validities associated with them. In assignments to information items, the rating represents the relevance of the information item to the property-value pair; in assignments to profiles, it represents the relevance of the property-value pair to the profile. The validity for an assignment indicates a judgment concerning the strength of the assignment. The system further defines relationships between property-value combinations. When a property-value combination in a relationship is assigned, so are the related property-value combinations. One application for the system is in producing output that is personalized for a recipient. The recipient is represented by a profile. The output is a hierarchy of information items, and in making the output the system chooses among alternatives on the basis of the property-value assignments to the information items and the recipient's profile. Choice of components begins at the bottom of the hierarchy, with the scores of choices at lower levels affecting the choices at higher levels. Another use of the system is in evaluating feedback information items received from the recipient. Also disclosed are graphical user interfaces for defining properties and values and assigning properties and values to information items and profiles.

Material selection systems and methods for quickly identifying which existing material best matches a desired set of properties are described so that product development time can be minimized. Users may input the properties they desire in a material, which properties they want searched and scored, the acceptable values of those properties, and a priority value for each property. Preliminary matching materials may be retrieved from a materials database, and an index value for each property value may be calculated. One of four fuzzy membership functions may then be utilized to calculate a scored property value for each property of each material. The scored property value may then be weighted to account for the priority value assigned to each property. The results may then be sorted in descending order based on their overall match scores, and output to the user so the best matching material(s) is readily identifiable by the user.
