Appl. No.:

09/753988

Inventors:

Carol Ann Jones - Raleigh NC, US
Dennis D. King - Cary NC, US
Christopher Herbert Langlois Wicher - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G10L 15/00

US Classification:

704 8, 704 2, 434157

Abstract:

A machine translation quality determination mechanism uses comparisons of subsequent and potentially numerous reverse translations of a translated human language back to the source language. The process of translating from source language to target language to source language may iterate many times to ultimately yield information as to an assertion of low quality translation. Thus, the present invention continuously iterates this “back-and-forth” translation until the resulting source human language text is not reasonably equivalent to the original source human language or until the process iterates a predetermined number of times. If the back-and-forth translation results in a source human language text that is not reasonably equivalent to the original source text, then the translation is identified as low quality.

Abstract:

A portlet data synchronization system, method and apparatus. The system can include a portal server configured to distribute portal content to requesting clients over a computer communications network. The system further can include one or more portlets hosted within the portal content through the portal server. Finally, the system can include a synchronization aggregator configured to aggregate synchronization markup for individual ones of the portlets in a single synchronization envelope. The synchronization aggregator further can be have a configuration for distributing responses to the synchronization markup to respective ones of the portlets.

Abstract:

Content aggregation is used to build administration consoles. Preferred embodiments enable providing a solution-based approach to information technology (“IT”) administration, whereby content can be flexibly arranged to provide a content view that is adapted for the IT solution deployed in a particular IT environment. In preferred embodiments, portal technology is used for the aggregation framework, and portlets are used for creating content. Alternatively, other approaches such as struts and tiles may be used. Preferred embodiments deploy an administration console as a Web-accessible application, and this console consolidates the administration interfaces for an arbitrary set of management operations, including administration of an arbitrary collection of hardware and/or software resources. Roles/permissions may be used when rendering content for the console, thereby customizing a view to individual end users (or user groups).

US Classification:

719317, 715236

Abstract:

A user interface template that implements a task pattern for a model class and a model adapter that provides an interface for the application that conforms to the model class are identified. A user interface for the application is created from the identified user interface template and the identified model adapter. The user interface template may include a generic view and a generic controller. The model adapter may provide a business object interface, and may be configured to communicate with the application via a J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connector. The user interface template may define an abstract portlet, and creating a user interface includes creating a portlet instance that communicates with the application via the model adapter. The portlet instance may be configured using an application portlet builder portlet. The portlet builder may also identify the user interface template and the model adapter.

US Classification:

707 10, 707 2, 707 3, 707 5

Abstract:

The system and method of the present invention provides a solution to allow users to receive platform-independent content services on content from content applications, such as blogs, wikis and eForms. It utilizes the Atom, XLink and XML Query (XQuery) formats and protocols with a content management system (CMS) which supports these formats and protocols. In the preferred embodiment, XML eForms, such as Workplace Forms, Adobe Forms, and Microsoft InfoPath is used as an example to describe the architecture, the system and method of the present invention although the invention can be applied to the various content applications mentioned above. In another embodiment of the present invention, unstructured content is converted to structured content via UIMA so that the content services may be offered to the user on the content. It transforms the content to a form more desirable to the user prior to delivering the delivering the content. The content is delivered in an XML document and is summarized for the user.

US Classification:

707790

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying XForms in an enterprise environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API can include generating a data graph for an external data model for a forms based application and transforming the data graph into a DOM representation of the data graph. Value changes for fields of a form in the forms based application can be applied to nodes of the DOM representation and mutations in the nodes of the DOM representation can be synchronized to corresponding nodes in the data graph.
