  • Importing and exporting markup language data in a spreadsheet application document

    US US2004172592

    Among other things, this document discloses new and innovative methods and systems for importing markup language formatted data into a spreadsheet document and for exporting markup language formatted data from a spreadsheet document. XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or…

    Among other things, this document discloses new and innovative methods and systems for importing markup language formatted data into a spreadsheet document and for exporting markup language formatted data from a spreadsheet document. XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. Each XPATH is executed to determine the location, data types and user data for each cell or list object in the document that is related back to the associated schema file. The cells and lists are populated with the XML data and user data, and the data is rendered in the spreadsheet according to the formatting dictated by the XML data applied to the spreadsheet in association with the XML schema file. After an imported document has been edited, or after a document is created to include the application of XML data in association with a selected XML schema file, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.

  • Querying applications using online messenger service

    US US2003079024

    A software application or resource is enabled to participate in a messaging service session conducted over a network and to respond to plain language queries much like a live participant. The software resource registers with a messaging service server when the software resource is initially executed, making it available if included in a user's list of contacts, to be added as a participant. During a messaging service session, a user can direct a message or query to the software resource that is…

    A software application or resource is enabled to participate in a messaging service session conducted over a network and to respond to plain language queries much like a live participant. The software resource registers with a messaging service server when the software resource is initially executed, making it available if included in a user's list of contacts, to be added as a participant. During a messaging service session, a user can direct a message or query to the software resource that is participating. The software resource parses the query, and if the query is understood and data are available, transmits a response that appears within the instant message dialogue window of the users participating in the messaging service session.

  • Services for context-sensitive flagging of information in natural language text and central management of metadata relating that information over a computer network

    EU EP1320038

    Natural language (NL) text entered by a user in a document is recognized as corresponding to a tag, causing an action or action associated with the tag to be implemented in the document. Linguistic information, tags, and related actions are managed in a centralized catalog from which they can be accessed. An NL Parser called by a tag recognizer analyzes and normalizes the text using semantic information and returns a parse tree to the tag recognizer. The tag recognizer then compares the parse…

    Natural language (NL) text entered by a user in a document is recognized as corresponding to a tag, causing an action or action associated with the tag to be implemented in the document. Linguistic information, tags, and related actions are managed in a centralized catalog from which they can be accessed. An NL Parser called by a tag recognizer analyzes and normalizes the text using semantic information and returns a parse tree to the tag recognizer. The tag recognizer then compares the parse tree to a corresponding parse tree provided in a dictionary. If a match is found, an instance or tag related to the parse tree in the dictionary is returned to an application in which the document is open to carry out the action associated with the tag. If an ambiguity causes multiple matches to be returned, the user can select one of the instances and related action.
