| 20110179045 | Template-Based Management and Organization of Events and Projects - A space in which a user may organize data and collaborate with other users is provided. Project data and metadata may be saved into a reusable template and stored in a repository, wherein other users may discover and download the template for use as a resource for a related project type. A template may contain various document types that may expose a breadth of applications and application functionalities that may be utilized for a given task or project. Questions and answers, task templates, and terminology may also be provided. Project templates may allow for collaboration on projects, wherein business and/or social groups may collaborate quickly, easily, and more completely. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110179049 | Automatic Aggregation Across Data Stores and Content Types - Project-related data may be aggregated from various data sources, given context, and may be stored in a data repository or organizational knowledge base that may be available to and accessed by others. Documents, emails, contact information, calendar data, social networking data, and any other content that is related to a project may be brought together within a single user interface, irrespective of its data type. A user may organize and understand content, discover relevant information, and act on it without regard to where the information resides or how it was created. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110179060 | Automatic Context Discovery - An automatic discovery of content to add to a data store for a project is disclosed. A data item may be parsed for data features that are contextually relevant to a given project or task. Discovered interesting data may be extracted and mapped to various search mechanisms. A search may be built and applied to various data sources to discover data items based on the contextually relevant data features. Search results from various search mechanisms may be displayed in a single user interface and may be presented to a user. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110179061 | Extraction and Publication of Reusable Organizational Knowledge - An analysis module, when triggered by a synchronization framework when a new data item is added to a project data store, runs a series of analysis feature extractors on the new content. An analysis may be conducted, and features of interest may be extracted from the data item. The analysis utilizes natural language processing, as well as other technologies, to provide an automatic or semi-automatic extraction of information. The extracted features of interest are saved as metadata within the project data store, and are associated with the data item from which it was extracted. The analysis module may be utilized to discover additional information that may be gleaned from content that is already in the project data store. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20090089299 | DECLARATIVE MODEL EDITOR GENERATION - Embodiments are directed to generating declarative model editors. A computer system receives a first user input indicating a selection of a native underlying schema that includes constraints that are to be followed by models based on the native schema. The computer system receives a second user input indicating a declarative entry that includes user-configurable model editor characteristics. The computer system automatically generates a declarative model editor based on the selected native schema and user-configurable model editor characteristics. Other embodiments are directed to editing models using declarative model editors. A computer system receives user input indicating a declarative entry to be applied to a model, generates a declarative model editor based on the declarative entry, receives a model that is editable by the generated declarative model editor, and edits user-configurable characteristics of the model. The model characteristics conform to the constraints in the native underlying schema. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090089739 | INTELLIGENT EDITING OF RELATIONAL MODELS - In one embodiment, receives a user gesture indicating an edit to be performed on a target object within a model. The model is based on an underlying schema including constraints that define relationships between objects in the model, including the target object. The computer system determines that at least one of the constraints in the underlying schema is associated with the indicated edit of the target object and determines that the edit is valid. The valid edit complies with the constraints associated with the indicated edit of the target object. In another embodiment, a computer system receives a user gesture indicating an edit, determines that a constraint in the underlying schema is associated with the indicated edit, and provides an indication of a valid model edit to a computer user. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090106646 | LAYOUT AND LINE ROUTING COMPOSITION - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for the facilitating the layout and composition of graphics. Embodiments of the present invention allow declarative input for creation and modification of layout compositions and also allows adjustments or modifications made to layout compositions. Layout compositions may be created, adjusted, and modified by input through a markup language or by user-commands and gestures. Relationships and associations among nodes and among line segments and connections between nodes which are embodied within a composition or created by an auto layout are preserved both during and after adjustments and modifications. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100250623 | GENERIC EDITOR FOR DATABASES - Facilitating generic database editing to allow for data to be received from a user for entry into a database without requiring the data to conform to schema constraints for the database. A method includes examining a first schema for a first database. The first schema including a first set of constraints specified in the first schema on data to be entered into the first database. The method further includes, based on the examination, constructing a second database corresponding to the first database. The second database is associated with a second schema with a second set of constraints. The second set of constraints is a relaxed version of the first set of constraints specified in the first schema. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100325587 | INCREMENTAL RUN-TIME LAYOUT COMPOSITION - Performing incremental runtime composition. A method includes a computing system receiving a user input gesture modifying a diagram displayed on a diagram surface. The diagram includes a first element, a second element, and a plurality of elements connected to the second element laid out in a particular layout pattern with respect to the second element. The method further includes interpreting the user input gesture to be a gesture creating a graph by connecting the first element to the second element of the diagram. The method further includes performing an auto layout of the diagram by automatically, and without user intervention, repositioning the second element with respect to the first element but without substantially repositioning the plurality of elements with respect to the second element by moving the second element and the plurality of elements as an atomic unit. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110107306 | MULTI-VIEW DEBUGGING - Debugging an executing process. A method includes accessing a unique key that is common to two or more different representations of a same function in the process. A runtime for the executing process is annotated with the unique key. The method further includes detecting that the function is executing. The unique key is used to provide an indication in one or more of the two or more different representations that the function is executing. | 05-05-2011 |
