Appl. No.:

09/892204

Inventors:

Edward A. Green - Englewood CO, US
Ramon Krosley - Golden CO, US
Kevin L. Markey - Westminster CO, US

Assignee:

Silver Creek Systems, Inc. - Louisville CO

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715523, 7155001

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are disclosed for transforming information from one semantic environment to another. In one implementation, a SOLx system includes a Normalization/Translation NorTran Workbench and a SOLx server. The NorTran Workbench is used to develop a knowledge base based on information from a source system, to normalize legacy content according to various rules, and to develop a database of translated content. During run time, the SOLx server receives transmissions from the source system, normalizes the transmitted content, accesses the database of translated content and otherwise translates the normalized content, and reconstructs the transmission to provide substantially real-time transformation of electronic messages.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are disclosed for transforming information from one semantic environment to another, for example, to facilitate electronic information searches. In one implementation, a SOLx system includes a Normalization/Translation NorTran Workbench and a SOLx server. The NorTran Workbench is used to develop a knowledge base based on information from a source system , to normalize legacy content according to various rules, and to develop a database of translated content. During run time, the SOLx server receives transmissions from the source system , normalizes the transmitted content, accesses the database of translated content and otherwise translates the normalized content, and reconstructs the transmission to provide substantially real-time transformation of electronic messages. Additionally, content can be classified relative to a taxonomy defining relationships between terms or items so as to facilitate electronic searching or other processing.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715200

Abstract:

A machine based tool and associated logic and methodology are used in converting data from an input form to a target form using context dependent conversion rules. In particular, a frame-slot architecture is utilized where a frame represents an intersection between a contextual cue recognized by the machine tool, associated content and related constraint information to specific to that conversion environment, whereas a slot represents an included chunk of information. An exemplary conversion system () includes a parser () for use in parsing and converting an input stream () from a source () to provide an output stream () in a form for use by a target system (). To accomplish the desired conversion, the parser () uses information from a public schema (), a private schema () and a grammar (). The public schema (), private schema () and grammar () may include conversion rules applicable to less than the whole of a subject matter area including the input stream ().

Abstract:

In connection with a machine-based system for transforming data from a source form to a target form, a tool is provided for sharing information established in developing a transformation model. The shared information may relate to rules for mapping source collection terms to standardized terms, rules for ordering or syntax, rules for classifying terms or other transformation rules. Such information defines a knowledge base for the project. The knowledge base is divided into domains and subdomains that define a hierarchy that includes dependencies and references. These dependencies and references are used for domain management such that any conflicts and inconsistencies can be identified and arbitrated. In this manner, information sharing is accommodated, for example, for efficient knowledge base creation and multi-user functionality.

Assignee:

Oracle International Corporation - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707713, 707722, 707758

Abstract:

A search system associates contextual metadata with search terms and/or stored terms to facilitate identification of relevant information. In one implementation, a search term is identified () from a received search request. The search term is then rewritten () in standard form and the standard form term is then set () as the current search parameter. A source database is then searched () using the current search parameter. If any results are obtained () these results may be output () to the user. If no results are obtained, a parent classification of the search term is set () as the current search parameter and the process is repeated. The invention thereby provides the ease of use of term searching with the comprehensiveness of category searching.
