A Web platform web-application framework in which functional block components are loaded as library elements at the time a website is accessed provides increased quality, accuracy and consistency of the website by enabling website management without a need for third party editors. Look and feel aspects of the website are loaded as library elements which are separate from content objects. Functional components stored as elements within a dictionary minimize redundant labor required to develop and deploy websites while providing extended functionality from a library of “plug and play” web components. Loading functional components as dictionary elements allows for seamless integration into the web-applications framework and other components. The web-application framework also identifies web visitor identifier information that is used to customize the displayed web page to the visitor's location.

It is an object to highly accurately perform semantic relationship extraction from text data by performing supervised learning of multiple classes using an existing thesaurus as a correct answer. Concerning any pair of words in a text, a plurality of kinds of similarities are calculated and a feature vector including the similarities as elements is generated. A label indicating a classification of a semantic relationship is given to pairs of words on the basis of the thesaurus. Data for semantic relationship identification is learned as an identification problem of multiple classes from the feature vector and the label. Identification of an inter-semantic relationship of two words is performed according to the data for semantic relationship identification.

A system that automatically matches schema elements is provided. In one aspect, given a selected element of one schema, the system can calculate the best matching candidate elements of another schema. The calculation can be based on a heuristic combination of factors, such as element names, element types, schema structure, existing matches, and the history of actions taken by the user. Accordingly, the best candidate (according to the calculation) can be emphasized and / or highlighted. The tool can auto-scroll to the best choice. Similarly, the user can request the calculation and display to best candidates by pressing a keyboard key or hot key. As well, the user can prompt display of the best candidates by using the mouse (e.g., moving the mouse over the element E or clicking on E), or both (e.g., mouse over with hot key depressed).

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.

An in-memory storage manager represents XML-compliant documents as a collection of objects in memory. The collection of objects allows the storage manager to manipulate the document, or parts of the document with a consistent interface and to provide for features that are not available in conventional XML documents, such as element attributes with types other than text and documents that contain binary rather than text information. In addition, in the storage manager, the XML-compliant document is associated with a schema document which defines the arrangement of the document elements and attributes. The schema data associated with a document can contain a mapping between document elements and program code to be associated with each element. The storage manager further has methods for retrieving the code from the element tag. The retrieved code can then be invoked using attributes and content from the associated element and the element then acts like a conventional object. Further, the storage manager allows real-time access by separate process operating in different contexts. The objects that are used to represent the document are constructed from common code found locally in each process. In addition, the data in the objects is also stored in memory local to each process. The local memories are synchronized by means of a distributed memory system that continually equates the data copies of the same element in different processes. Client-specified collections are managed by a separate collection manager. The collection manager maintains a data structure called a “waffle” that represents the XML data structures in tabular form. A record set engine that is driven by user commands propagates a set of updates for a collection to the collection manager. Based on those updates, the collection manager updates index structures and may notify waffle users via the notification system.

A method to increase diversity in MIMO fading channels interleaves coordinates of complex symbol(s) in a transmission frame after encoding and modulating. Specifically, an input signal is encoded and modulated into a codeword, jointly across at least two pipes, said pipes having space, time, frequency, or other nature, wherein the codeword spans a frame and is defined as at least one complex symbol whose complex values are all those to be transmitted during all channel uses covered by the frame. Each of the complex symbols have a first and second coordinate. After modulating, which may be combined with encoding in a signal space encoder, the coordinates are interleaved. In modulation, the complex symbols (typically two dimensional) may arise as elements of a multidimensional (typically greater than two dimensions) signal constellation, in which case those multidimensional constellation coordinates are the ones that are interleaved in the frame. The frame carrying the interleaved coordinates is transmitted by the first and at least second antennas, possible opposed sub-frames of the overall frame being transmitted separately by opposed antennas. A coset selector is used in some embodiments to maximize a minimum Hamming distance, and / or a minimum Euclidean distance, between coordinates within a coset to control diversity and / or coding gain. In some embodiments, the operation of the encoder and modulator is such as to maximize a minimum coordinate-wise Hamming distance, and / or a minimum Euclidean distance, between allowable codewords, and / or to provide additional structure for the allowable codewords. A method, transmitter, system, and mobile station are described.

An automated test tool interface is described. A developer of a reusable web component provides an interface for obtaining an accurate identification of a root element of a component and any sub elements within the root element on a web page. An automated test framework uses this interface when recording automated tests to obtain a stable identification of the element that is independent of the rendering of the component on the web page. When the automated test is played back, the test framework again uses the interface to convert the stable identification of the element to a form that is dependent on the rendering of the component on the web page. Thus, changes in the rendering of a component will no longer cause an automated test tool to fail, as element identification in the testing framework is no longer tied to the specific rendering of the web page.
