In a second service on a second computation node, the first resource is reference-able by associating the first resource in the second service for use in the second service. A distributed computation is performed across node boundaries using the references of the first resource to perform the computation in the first service and in the second service. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100082651 | LANGUAGE EXTENSIONS FOR CREATING, ACCESSING, QUERYING AND UPDATING RDF DATA - A method for processing a graph structure includes providing a graph as a set of triples, each triple having a subject node, a predicate, and an object node, the predicate defining a relationship between a respective subject node and an object node. One of more triples in the set of triples are processed according to one or more attributes of each triple in the set of triples to permit accessing, querying, creating, and updating resource description framework (RDF) data structures in at least one of a script language and an object oriented language by providing a set of language extensions. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20120030577 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA-DRIVEN WEB PAGE NAVIGATION CONTROL - A system and method for web application navigation control includes updating navigation data models used in navigation constraints with received data from an end-user or system. Without needing a centralized application-specific controller, from a collection of extensible navigation rules associated with each page of a plurality of pages, the extensible navigation rules are automatically selected which depend on changed data values and need re-evaluation. The navigation constraints associated only with the pages potentially changing their ready state to execute from among the plurality of pages in an entire application are evaluated to determine which pages are ready to run based on updated data from the navigation data models. A preferred page to be actually navigated to next is selected from among a set of all available and ready pages by execution of a set of second and separate navigation constraints using results of the navigation constraints of the evaluating step. | 02-02-2012 |
