An XML schema is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself. These constraints are generally expressed using some combination of grammatical rules governing the order of elements, Boolean predicates that the content must satisfy, data types governing the content of elements and attributes, and more specialized rules such as uniqueness and referential integrity constraints.
Mechanism and apparatus for using messages to look up documents stored in spaces in a distributed computing environment
InactiveUS6643650B1AdvertisementsMultiple digital computer combinationsXML schemaRepresentation language
A system and method for searching for documents within spaces in a distributed computing environment are provided. A client sends a lookup message to a space which stores documents. The lookup message may specify desired characteristics, such as a name or partial XML schema, of the stored documents. The documents may include XML service advertisements and XML device advertisements as well as general-purpose XML documents. A set of zero or more documents which match the lookup message are discovered. In one embodiment, the lookup message may include a desired name. If the lookup message includes both a desired name and a desired schema, the set of discovered documents may include both discovered documents having a name that matches the desired name and discovered documents having a schema that matches the desired schema. If the lookup message includes neither a desired name nor a desired schema, the set of discovered documents may include substantially all the documents stored in the space. After the matching documents are found, the space may send a lookup response message to the client. For each discovered document, the lookup response message may include a name and an advertisement. Each advertisement may include information which is usable by the client to obtain the respective discovered document or access the resource (e.g., a service) that the document advertises. The advertisements and messages may be expressed in a data representation language such as XML.

Advertisements for peer-to-peer computing resources
A system and method for providing advertisements in a peer-to-peer networking environment is described. In one embodiment, the peer-to-peer protocols may use advertisements to describe and publish the existence of peer resources. An advertisement may be defined as a structured, language neutral metadata structure that names, describes, and publishes the existence of a peer-to-peer platform resource, such as a peer, a peer group, a pipe, or a service. In one embodiment, user-defined advertisement subtypes (for example, using XML schemas) may be formed from these basic types. A peer in a peer-to-peer network may publish a resource advertisement to make the resource corresponding to the advertisement available to other peers on the network. Peers may discover published advertisements by broadcasting discovery query messages. Other peers may respond to discovery query messages by sending response messages that may include advertisements.

Trusted construction of message endpoints in a distributed computing environment
InactiveUS6792466B1Multiple digital computer combinationsTransmissionXML schemaDistributed Computing Environment
In a distributed computing environment, a message gate may be the message endpoint for a client or service to communicate with another client or service. Devices may have a gate factory (e.g. message endpoint constructor) that is trusted code on the device for generating gates based on XML message descriptions. The use of the gate factory may ensure that the gate it generates is also trusted code, and that the code is correct with respect to a service advertisement. A service advertisement may indicate, for a particular service, a message schema, service URI and authentication service URI. In one embodiment, the pieces the gate factory needs to construct a gate are the XML schema of the service and the URI of the service. In another embodiment, an authentication credential may also be obtained and used in gate construction by running an authentication service specified in the service advertisement. A gate factory for a device may generate gate code that may incorporate the language, security, type safety, and / or execution environment characteristics of the local device platform. By constructing gates itself, a device has the ability to ensure that the generated gate code is relatively bug-free, produces only valid data, and provides type-safety.

Extensible resource messaging in a communication network is provided through creation of a flexible, extensible, and secure messaging environment. A client-server architecture may be implemented in which user applications employ messaging clients to send resource requests for network information, allocation and other operations and receive resource responses, and in which network elements, through resource agents, may use messaging servers to accept resource requests and return resource responses. Resource agents in different network domains may interact through the messaging environment and work together to fulfill resource requests. An XML-based messaging mechanism may be built with a defined message format that can provide flexible message contexts. Network resource semantics may be specified using XML schemas so that network resources are expressed as resource-specific XML elements and network updates can be implemented by updating the XML resource schemas. Secure enhancements may be realized by secure transport, message verification and other means.

InactiveUS7080078B1Save spaceCreate efficientlyWeb data indexingBuying/selling/leasing transactionsXML schemaInformation space
A system and method for interaction and access to shared content among clients and services in a distributed computing environment. A client may access a space service. The space service may store one or more XML service advertisements and / or other XML content in a space, and each of the service advertisements may include information which is usable to access and execute a corresponding service. The space service may include an XML schema which specifies one or more messages usable to invoke functions of the space service. For example, the schema may specify methods for reading advertisements from the space and publishing advertisements in the space. In accessing the space service, the client may send information such as an XML message (as specified in the schema) to the space service at an Internet address. In accessing the space service, the client may search the one or more service advertisements stored in the space. The client may select one of the service advertisements from the space. The desired service may be executed on behalf of the client. Upon execution, the service may generate a set of results. In one embodiment, these results may be published in a new space which may be accessed by the client for whose benefit the service was executed.

Efficient construction of message endpoints
InactiveUS7072967B1Easy constructionAvoid constructionMemory loss protectionError detection/correctionXML schemaDistributed Computing Environment
In a distributed computing environment, a message gate may be the message endpoint for a client or service. A message gate may provide a secure message endpoint that sends and receives type-safe messages. Devices may have a gate factory (e.g. message endpoint constructor) that is trusted code on the device for generating gates based on XML message descriptions. In one embodiment, the gate factory may construct a gate from the XML schema of the service, a URI for the service, and an authentication credential. Access to some services may be unrestricted. For such services, a gate may be constructed without an authentication credential, saving the overhead of running an authentication service and incorporating an authentication credential. Gate construction may also be optimized for certain clients that do not desire to perform checking of messages against a service's XML schema. If verification is not desired, a client may avoid or may chose to avoid building (e.g. by a gate factory) some or all of the gate code that checks the messages against the XML schema. Also, the building of a gate may be made lightweight by appropriate reuse or sharing of pieces used to construct other gates. Devices may maintain a cache of gates to avoid constructing them each time the same service is run.

Mechanisms for storing content and properties of hierarchically organized resources
Various techniques are provided for facilitating the management of hierarchical data within a relational database system. One such technique involves separating the storage structures used to store data that captures the information about the hierarchy (the “hierarchy structures”), from the storage structures used to store the content of the resources that belong to the hierarchy (the “content structures”). Techniques are also provided for allowing users to customize the metadata attributes associated with resources that belong to the information hierarchy. One technique involves registering XML schemas that specify the metadata attributes desired by a user. Another technique involves storing attributes that do not correspond to any declared field in a “catch-all” column within the resource table. Techniques are provided for determining how to store resources as they are added to the database. According to one technique, the database server searches the data of the resource to find content-type information. If content-type information is found, then the database server consults a content-type to content-structure mapping to determine where to store the content of the resource.

Markup language visual mapping
Methods and systems are provided for mapping markup language data and schema, such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data and XML schema, to selected fields (cells, columns, rows) of a spreadsheet application document. An XML schema file is associated with a spreadsheet application document by providing a mechanism of adding the schema definitions to the spreadsheet application document. Furthermore, XML schema constructs such as elements, attributes, and simple content are associated to regions in the spreadsheet application document by providing a tree view structure of a generalized instance of a given XML schema file. A user may drag and drop markup language nodes representing elements, attributes and simple data content, from the tree view structure of the generalized instance of the XML schema file onto a spreadsheet worksheet grid. Once a cell, column or row in worksheet grid accepts the dropped element or attribute, an association is made between the target location in the worksheet grid, and the definition, data type and rules associated with the dropped element or attribute by setting an XML path language (XPATH) marker to point the target location back to the selected element or attribute in the XML schema file. Having all or partially all desired markup language elements or attributes associated with desired target locations in the spreadsheet grid, a general mapping of marked-up locations in the spreadsheet grid and their associated elements and / or attributes in an associated XML schema file is created.
