摘要： The visual form of data from a computer program is received and stored in a database. The visual form of the data may be received, for example, in response to a print operation by the computer program or by some other operation Such as a cut and paste sequence of operations or by sending the data to another application. The visual form of the data may be stored as a vector image that permits scalability. The visual form of the data may be stored with other identifying information or tags in the database to facilitate searching of the database. The data in the database may be encoded in a manner that ensures data integrity and that permits detection of when data has been compromised. In one embodiment, a service layer application is provided to control access to the database by performing encoding and decoding of the data in the database. The service layer may have an application programming interface that permits many applications to have access to the database. Another application may be provided for accessing the visual form of the data from the database and for providing this data to another computer program. Such an application permits a user to create compound documents from data in the database using the other computer program.

摘要翻译： 来自计算机程序的数据的可视形式被接收并存储在数据库中。 数据的视觉形式可以例如响应于计算机程序的打印操作或通过某种其他操作（例如剪切和粘贴操作序列）或通过将数据发送到另一应用程序来接收。 数据的视觉形式可以存储为允许可扩展性的矢量图像。 数据的可视形式可以与数据库中的其他标识信息或标签一起存储，以便于搜索数据库。 数据库中的数据可以以确保数据完整性并且允许检测数据何时被泄漏的方式进行编码。 在一个实施例中，提供服务层应用程序以通过对数据库中的数据进行编码和解码来控制对数据库的访问。 服务层可以具有允许许多应用程序访问数据库的应用程序编程接口。 可以提供另一应用程序用于从数据库访问数据的可视形式并将该数据提供给另一计算机程序。 这样的应用程序允许用户使用其他计算机程序从数据库中的数据创建复合文档。
