One or more embodiments of the invention provide a RedlineXML schema comprised of constraints that provide restrictions as to the elements and attributes that may be utilized to define a RedlineXML document. The RedlineXML schema is comprised of an Objects element, a Tags element, a BaseDocument element, and a MarkupPlanes element. The Objects element is comprised of any number of objects that may be utilized to redline or markup a base document. For example, the Objects element may contain Box, Circle, Spline, Polyline, Group, Arc, Ellipse, Text, Note, Cloud, Callout, and/or Style elements. The BaseDocument element specifies the base document that is being marked up. The attributes of the BaseDocument element provide the information needed to recognize and parse the elements of a foreign XML schema used to represent the type of base document being redlined or marked up. For example, if the BaseDocument element specifies an AutoCAD(R) drawing, URLs for the locations of the AcadDWG schema and the AutoCAD(R) drawing will be specified, as well as an identification of the system required to parse the elements defined by the AcadDWG schema. To utilize the RedlineXML schema, a RedlineXML document that references the RedlineXML schema is obtained. A determination is made regarding whether the RedlineXML document complies with the constraints specified in the RedlineXML schema. If the document complies, the document is determined to be valid and is processed by a redline processor that is capable of reading the RedlineXML document and displaying the appropriate results. For example, the redline processor may comprise a graphics program that reads the RedlineXML document and displays the specified redline objects on a base document retrieved from the location specified in the RedlineXML document.

A method for controlling a device capable of performing an operation in response to a job ticket includes comparing the job ticket with options within the capabilities of the device for fulfilling the job. One such device is a printer coupled to a computer for printing text and the like in accordance with such a job ticket. The job configuration and the options defining the plurality of operations preferably are stored in data structures, most preferably XML files validated under an XML schema defining options for a universe of similar operations. Each comparison of the job configuration with a device capability option results in a score. These scores are compared to obtain an optimal or preferred option which best approximates the job ticket within the capabilities of the device.

The present invention relates to a method, and system for implementing the method, for performing incremental validation of an XML document with respect to XML Schema key and keyref constraints, and handling the semantics dictated by the XML Schema specification. Several operations are defined that change the content of a document, i.e., add or remove nodes, or change the value of existing nodes. The present invention verifies whether performing such an operation would violate key or keyref constraints, and allows changing the document only if the operation maintains the validity of the document with respect to the constraints. The verification traverses only the parts of the document that may be affected by the change operation, and not the whole document. The invention maintains, in an efficient manner, data structures that hold information relevant to the validation of key and keyref constraints.

The invention discloses a system and method for generating MIB files through XML files. The system comprises a Schema rule defining unit, an XML syntax checking unit, an XML semantic parsing unit, an MIB file rule analyzing unit and an MIB file generating unit. The method includes that the Schema rule defining unit defines a checking and mapping Schema from XML to MIB; the XML semantic parsing unit defines mapping rules from XML elements to MIB elements, pares XML files passing syntax checking and completes mapping from the XML elements to the MIB elements; the MIB file generating unit generates MIB files according to a generating method of specific elements. By the aid of the system and method, the probability of errors in the MIB writing process can be reduced, and network management system development is accelerated; a familiar and generic XML form interface is exposed to a user, the XML files are written by the user on the basis of the XML Schema, the MIB files can be generated conveniently, and direct operations on the intricate MIB files are avoided.

The invention discloses a method for converting an XML (X Extensive Markup Language) document into an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) document based on an XSL (Xml Schema Language). The method comprises the following steps: S1, building a new HTML-format document which has the same name with an XML document; S2, defining a conversion algorithm to realize conversion from the XML document to the HTML document; S3, calling a system default browser in order to display the HTML document, wherein a correlated method and a correlated variable are called as input parameters through a converter instance by the conversion algorithm to realize conversion from the XML document to the HTML document. By adopting the method for converting the XML document into the HTML document based on the XSL providedby the invention, a conversion error monitor is defined specific to the conversion error occurring in the converting process in order to determine the error cause and the error occurring location fora data editing person to modify.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for modeling XML applications using an extended UML notation. The present invention extends the UML model template to include an additional compartment, referred to as a constant attribute compartment. The constant attribute compartment allows the constant attributes of an XML element to beexplicitly represented in the UML model. The disclosed UML model can thereby distinguish XML elements and XML attributes using the additional constant attribute compartment to represent attributes that remain constant through all instances of an object. The UML modeling of XML elements is more clear and readable by separately modeling the constant attributes and the variable attributes of the XML element. The present invention facilitates the automatic generation of XML schemas and source code with the appropriate software tools.

The invention provides a general internet address construction method and system based on an extensible markup language. The method includes defining an xml schema file corresponding to the type of a special internet address according to a general describing specification; performing semantic constraint on property elements of the internet address in the xml schema file; allowing a user to input property values required for constructing the internet address in a user's interface, and performing semantic inspection on the property values according to the semantic constraint in the xml schema file; resolving the property elements, searching in a function correspondence table, and calling functions to construct the internet address. By the aid of the method, internet addresses with various types can be constructed, generality, flexibility and scalability of constructions of the internet addresses with different types are improved effectively, and the method has important significance for compatible future internet address types.

The invention discloses a power grid multi-dimensional data modeling method based on XML, which is characterized in that power grid dimension modeling is divided into two stages, namely storage layer modeling and application layer modeling, so that a power grid dimension model is constructed quickly, accurately and flexibly; in a storage layer, by using a relational database, and a relational data model with multi-dimensional characteristics is established according to a 'star graph' method; in an application layer, an XML Schema is designed, and a multi-dimensional data cube and physical mapping are described. Based on OLAP of XML, the invention provides an effective modeling method for multi-dimensional data modeling of the storage layer and the application layer for problems existing in data in power grid service, and has the characteristics of high efficiency, accuracy and flexibility. Various multi-dimensional data models are established according to different data requirements, and the problems of non-uniform data standards, data islands and the like are solved. Data fusion and sharing are quickly realized, the management level of a power grid company is further improved and perfected, and greater competitiveness is brought to the power grid company.
