Abstract:
A method of performing distributed development of a computer software application by using a WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) client, to access a WebDAV server, ensures that referential integrity is maintained when checking in documents from the client top the server.

Abstract:
When data, such as tool data, is commonly accessible, there is a danger that concurrent user processes will make overlapping modifications and leave the data in an incomplete or incomprehensible state. The invention provides a locking mechanism to guard against this. The lock objects are maintained in pool or repository. Two types of lock objects are provided; shareable locks that may be shared by many user processes and permit only read access to the locked data, and exclusive locks, useable by only one user process at a time, that permit the owning process to modify the locked data.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a computer tutorial system wherein software product training is provided interactively by guiding the user, for example, through one or more examples or applications that can be created in and/or using the product. More particularly, the invention involves a computer implemented, interactive tutorial system providing online instruction in conjunction with a contemporaneously operating software product to, for example, create such examples or applications and the tutorial system further providing for the creation of such examples or applications in and/or using the product.
Abstract:
A method deploys a set of coupled data transformation modules describing a data transformation, the data transformation for transforming a data structure from a first format to a second format. The method includes receiving an instruction for selecting the set of transformation modules from a memory; converting each of the set of transformation modules to a common model format, the set of modules having at least one transformation module being of a module type of a type set including language constructed modules and visually constructed modules; and generating an executable version of the converted transformation modules suitable for execution by a data transformation engine. The executable version, when executed, transforms the data structure from the first format to the second format.
