A universal plug and play (UPnP) device makes itself known through a set of processes—discovery, description, control, eventing, and presentation. Following discovery of a UPnP device, an entity can learn more about the device and its capabilities by retrieving the device's description. The description includes vendor-specific manufacturer information like the model name and number, serial number, manufacturer name, URLs to vendor-specific Web sites, etc. The description also includes a list of any embedded devices or services, as well as URLs for control, eventing, and presentation. The description is written by a vendor, and is usually based on a device template produced by a UPnP forum working committee. The template is derived from a template language that is used to define elements to describe the device and any services supported by the device. The template language is written using an XML-based syntax that organizes and structures the elements.

Methods and systems to support XML-based security and key management services in a pre-boot execution environment. During pre-boot, XML console in and console out interfaces are loaded, and corresponding API's are published to enable use of the interfaces by various firmware and software components. A network stack is set up to enable XML content received at the network interface to be forwarded to the XML console in interface and XML content provided at the XML content out interface to be sent out via the network interface. Security operations may then be performed to authenticate a client system hosting the XML interfaces, to authenticate remote servers to which the client system may communicate with, and to validate boot images provided to the computer system. Key management services are also supported.

A method and apparatus are provided for updating XML views of relational data. The present invention translates an update to an XML view of a relational database into update operations to be performed on the underlying relational database itself. The disclosed XML view update manager can perform updates in the context of an underlying relational database that serves the XML-based application, as well as traditional relational database management system (RDBMS) applications. Given a pre-existing underlying relational database schema and an XML view defined on it, the present invention provides a framework for generating update plans to perform an update without introducing side-effects to other parts of the view.

An Identity System delivers customized request responses that integrate the results of multiple programs. The Identity System receives and translates a user request. The Identity Systems employs a program service to identify all the programs required to complete the request. The Identity System uses a XML data registry to retrieve a XML template and XSL stylesheet for each program. The Identity System executes all of the programs for the request and organizes their results into a single data structure, based on the templates for each program. The Identity System then applies attribute display characteristics to convert the data structure into a single Output XML. The Output XML can be provided directly to the user or receive further processing using the retrieved XSL stylesheets.

A system for a context-independent framework for management and execution of XML processing tasks is provided. The XML processing tasks are executed by a module, herein referred to as the XSA Engine, according to a predefined set of instructions provided as electronic documents written in a special purpose, XML-based, programming language. The instruction sets contain references to, and control the execution of, instances of three classes of processing modules, which independently accomplish an XML processing subtask and jointly accomplish an XML processing task. The framework is decoupled from any specific execution context, meaning that standardized XML processing can be applied in almost any desired application. The special purpose programming language enhances productivity for development of XML processing tasks as compared to using general purpose programming languages, and diminishes the need for writing custom code to link different types of XML processing subtasks to accomplish an XML processing task.

An enterprise content management system such as an electronic contract system manages a large number of secure documents for many organizations. The search of these private documents for different organizational users with role-based access control is a challenging task. A content-based extensible mark-up language (XML)-annotated secure-index search mechanism is provided that provides an effective search and retrieval of private documents with document-level security. The search mechanism includes a document analysis framework for text analysis and annotation, a search indexer to build and incorporate document access control information directly into a search index, an XML-based search engine, and a compound query generation technique to join user role and organization information into search query. By incorporating document access information directly into the search index and combining user information in the search query, search and retrieval of private contract documents can be achieved very effectively and securely with high performance.

A system and method are disclosed for utilizing a computer with a first operating system to access and perform operations on a second computer having a different operating system, using a web-based adapter routine. A Java console accesses a web based adapter routine to implement a set of Java based APIs to perform CIM operations. The adapter routine, in conjunction with a Java Native Interface and a CIM to WMI mapper enables CIM operations to be performed on a managed server having for example, a Microsoft Operating System or XML based communications.

A method and system is disclosed for automated event polling in a network. A server receives a HTTP request for data from a database on the server. A client generates the HTTP request for the data. The server responds to the request by reformatting the data into an XML format. The server then transmits the data in XML format to the client. The client receives the data transmitted from the server in XML format and converts the data in XML format to a format used by the client software.

A system and method for caching data in wireless application protocol (WAP) enabled services caches static data and facilitates dynamic creation of user-specific information to provide a customized output. The mobile cache generates the user-specific information in WML in real-time from cached information according to user-specified preferences. A change trigger triggers information delivery after a predetermined amount of cached information changes. The system may also include an image converter to ensure that image objects can be viewed easily on WAP-enabled devices having small display screens and a document converter to dynamically compose information from selected data based on XML-based content tagging.

In a complex workflow environment, a data-type-definition (DTD) schema drives a dynamic business component instantiation and execution framework that integrates documents with data and information created by various applications, potentially operating on several different platforms, enabling complex workflow and collaboration to occur over a communication network such as the Internet. The DTD execution language is preferably an industry specific XML-based tag set that defines business component instantiation, execution, input and output parameters, workflow, user profile, and collaboration specifications for a given task or data in a complex workflow process. Business and data processing components available on systems both within and outside the complex workflow system are called upon to provide the processing, interpretation, and transformation functions for the complex workflow system. The results of such processing are then returned to the complex workflow system for integration within the workflow process. The system and method also contemplates the conversion of an extensible markup language (XML) file, such as a WellXML™ file, to data elements that are accessible by a server.

A system of translating a first schema of data having one structure or semantics into a second schema of data having a second structure or semantics by using a computer-implemented ontology deconstruction and reconstruction transfer mechanism which automatically creates an ‘interlanguage’ document type definition (interlanguage DTD) in which the interlanguage DTD automatically manages the structure and semantics of the structure and semantics of data to allow an automatic interlanguage definition of the first schema and translation into the second schema by the transfer mechanism. Such use can be in the publishing industry to translate data from any one of a number of key XML-based schemas such as DocBook, HTML4, Open eBook, Digital Talking Book, ONIX, MARC, etc to another of such schemas. The system can also be used to translate queries made on documents in the interlanguage DTD as queries on any of the schemas mapped to that interlanguage DTD.

XML Schema Designs for environment-specific types based on XML base types are disclosed. The invention provides a series of “base types” in the XML Schema. Each base type is in an environment-specific XML Schema namespace that disambiguates the environment's types from all other types defined by any other environment. The XML Schema Design then defines the final type as an anonymous type, derived from the environment-specific base type. The base type is defined with any XML Schema type facets that apply to all derivatives of the base type, and the anonymous final type is defined with additional XML Schema type facets to fully describe the type.

The present invention provides an XML-based programming language, toolkit, and development environment that can be readily used and understood without the need for formal software programming skills to assemble a complete software suite for a computer.

A system and related techniques and data structures present a Web based or other client application or service with a relational node structure to access, store and manipulate XML-based or XML-compliant data. Unlike unmodified XML information for instance stored in document object model (DOM) format, the inventive platform may load a relational node structure encapsulating XML-compliant information in an organized structure having pointers to next peer, parent, child and other links to related or unrelated information. Searching, querying and other operations may therefore be made more efficient since an entire tree structure need not be exhaustively traversed to locate desired data, but instead sorted via those relational linkages. Client applications such as Web browsing, email, contacts managers, calendars and others may therefore operate on XML or XML-compliant data without the loading or performance disadvantages which conventional XML platforms may incur. The data populating the relational node structure may be obtained from XML or structured sources, and for instance be loaded from storage in response to a query generated via the query engine.

A system and method for implementing XSL/XML based authorization rules policy on a given set of data. An authorization rules engine is created which uses authorization rules defined in XSL to operate on access decision information (ADI) provided by the user. Inside the authorization rules engine, a boolean authorization rules mechanism is implemented to constrain the XSL processor to arrive at a boolean authorization decision. By applying the constrained authorization rules, the authorization rules engine evaluates available ADI data from an ADI XML input document. An output from a set of predetermined authorization decisions is provided to the user when the ADI input data is successfully evaluated. An error message is also provided to the user if required ADI data is unavailable for evaluation.
