Available storage media capacity will be doubling every 2 years. In 2005 it will likely be possible to store about 80 movies on a single 400 GByte hard disk. Because it is no longer possible to access specific recordings stored in a book shelf by just looking at the video cassettes or discs and some annotations on their cover, personal video or audio recording will require new ways to organise and electronically search for content, including automatic content referencing and automatic content location. According to the invention the URI string is extended by additional information that allows to locate specific information within a file that is referenced by such URI. Similar types of URI extensions are used for describing trick mode information. Such extensions take into account specific requirements of the storage format involved.

The invention relates to a method of editing a data stream, the data stream having a first unique identifier of an identifier space and having assigned metadata, the metadata comprising meta information and a metadata link, the metadata link comprising the first unique identifier and at least one data packet identifier. When performing an editing operation on the data stream, a second unique identifier of the identifier space is assigned to the data stream and the first unique identifier for a resolver task is stored, using a decision metric for updating the meta link.

The use of disk-assisted, dynamic databases is to be optimized. To this end, provision is made for new data intended to update an old stock of data to have a second index, relating to the new data, generated for them, and for said second index to be stored on the disk storage medium as a supplement to the first index relating to the old stock of data. This allows the number of write access operations to the disk storage medium to be reduced. This is particularly advantageous for optical media, whose useful life can be increased as a result.
摘要:
Search in stocks of data, particularly on optical media, is intended to be optimized in terms of the time required for the search. It is therefore proposed that the search be carried out in two steps. In a first search step, the entire database is scanned on the disk storage medium. In a second search step, executed in parallel, intermediate results from the first search step are searched. This allows the number of skips on a disk to be reduced, which results in increases of speed, particularly in the case of optical drives.

For the creation and self-organization of peer-groups the JXTA protocol may be used, which includes messages such as peer or peer-group advertisements and services such as the discovery service. Conventional peer-groups of this type are static and need restart after any modification, e.g. a new service. A method for dynamically managing hardware and/or software elements, e.g. services, utilized and/or offered by such peer-groups comprises detecting a change within a peer-group, creating a new peer-group identifier, publishing within the peer-group a first peer-group advertisement message that includes the current and the new peer-group identifier and pointers to current services including the detected modification, accepting the new peer-group identifier by the other peer-group members, and publishing a second peer-group advertisement message in the superordinate peer-group, wherein both advertisement messages may be identical. Thus, peer-groups may operate continuously while peers modify, add or delete services.

The present invention relates to a method of determining an individual's transplantation tolerance by determining the level of a number of biomarkers. The present invention also relates to a kit comprising reagents for detecting the levels of the biomarkers. The present invention also relates to a sensor for detecting the expression levels of a plurality of genes that can be used to determine an individual's transplantation tolerance.

The generation of metadata shall be simplified. Therefore, a method is presented in which a metadata-template is filled with selected essence and MD-links obtained from a list of links to essence and/or a list of current metadata. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain the MD-links from further metadata or essences directly or indirectly linked with the selected essence.
