摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for indexing annotations made for a variety of different type (i.e., heterogeneous) data objects are provided. A set of parameters uniquely identifying an annotated data object may be converted to an index comprising a set of index values, each corresponding to a column in a homogeneous index table. In order to accommodate the indexing of heterogeneous data objects, a mapping may be provided for each different type (or classification) of data object that may be annotated, that defines how the identifying parameters of that type will be mapped to the columns of the homogeneous index table.

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that may be used to attach annotations to a particular view of data described by the annotation are provided. The annotation may be attached in a manner that allows the annotation to be viewed when subsequent views having at least some visible cells in common with the annotated view are displayed. An annotation created for a view of data may be stored with links to each cell visible in the view. When a predetermined set of cells visible in the annotated view are subsequently displayed in another view, the annotation may be retrieved via the cell links and an indication of the annotation may be provided.

摘要翻译： 提供了可用于将注释附加到由注释描述的数据的特定视图的方法，系统和制品。 注释可以以允许在具有与注释视图共同的至少一些可见单元的后续视图被显示的情况下被观看的方式被附加。 为数据视图创建的注释可以存储在视图中可见的每个单元格的链接。 当随后在另一视图中显示在注释视图中可见的预定的单元格集合时，可以经由小区链路检索注释，并且可以提供注释的指示。

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that may be used for identifying and indicating annotations made for a variety of different type (i.e., heterogeneous) data objects are provided. According to some embodiments, an annotation store may be queried to identify annotations for data objects in a current view of data. For certain identifiable portions of the view (e.g., a row in a relational view), a callable function may be created that returns a set of indicia maps indicating which objects in the portions are annotated. Bits in an indicia map may correspond to different objects (e.g., individual cells in a row or the row itself). Using these indicia maps, an indication of which data objects are annotated may be provided in the view, for example, by displaying annotation icons proximate annotated objects.

摘要翻译： 提供了可用于识别和指示针对各种不同类型（即异构）数据对象所做的注释的方法，系统和制品。 根据一些实施例，可以查询注释存储以识别当前数据视图中的数据对象的注释。 对于视图的某些可识别部分（例如，关系视图中的一行），可创建可调用功能，该可调用函数返回一组标记图，指示哪些对象在哪些部分被注释。 标记图中的位可以对应于不同的对象（例如，行中的单个单元格或行本身）。 使用这些标记图，可以在视图中提供哪些数据对象被注释的指示，例如通过显示附近注释对象的注释图标。

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for proving global annotation services are disclosed. Global annotations are used to annotate a data element independently from the internal representation of a data element employed by a particular software application. Data elements are normalized into a form used by a global annotation system to identify the data element, and corresponding global annotations, independent from the application in which the data element may appear. An annotation cache may be used to store the global annotations that have been created for a particular data source, improving the efficiency of the global annotation system.

摘要翻译： 披露了用于证明全球注释服务的方法，系统和制造。 全局注释用于独立于特定软件应用程序使用的数据元素的内部表示来注释数据元素。 数据元素被归一化为由全局注释系统用于识别数据元素和相应的全局注释的形式，与数据元素可能出现的应用无关。 注释缓存可用于存储为特定数据源创建的全局注释，从而提高全局注释系统的效率。

摘要： The present invention generally provides methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing an annotation system that includes storing annotations for a document family, i.e., a series of versions of a data source. Annotations created for one version of the data source may be viewed in context from both subsequent and prior versions of the same data source. Embodiments of the invention associate annotations with both a data source “family identifier” as well as a “version identifier.” Other than adding a family ID to the data source, the data source remains unchanged. The family ID is maintained across different versions of the data source, whereas version IDs are determined for a specific version of the data source. Version IDs can be constructed from each data source directly, and do not need to be stored.

摘要： A graphical query interface provides visual feedback to a user during the construction of a query. In a first embodiment, the visual feedback helps the user determine the quality of the query as the query is being built. The relationship of columns in the database is graphically displayed to a user. When the user selects a column in the database, a filtered display mechanism displays only those columns or records that satisfy the portion of the query already constructed. In a second embodiment, the visual feedback eliminates some possible selections in the query tree due to previously-made selections that eliminate the eliminated selections as possibilities. In the second embodiment, the visual feedback mechanism may function according to data values in columns, and may also function according to known relationships between columns themselves.

摘要： A graphical query and data mining interface provides visual feedback to a user during the construction of a query that helps the user determine the quality of the query as the query is being built. The graphical query and data mining interface determines relationships in the database from a database relationship document, such as an XML document. These relationships may be between columns, including columns in different tables. The relationship of columns in the database is then graphically displayed to a user. When the user selects a column in the database, a filtered display mechanism displays only those columns or records that satisfy the portion of the query already constructed. In this manner dynamic information is provided to the user as the user builds the query that indicates to the user the quality of the query.

摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that may be used for returning annotation data associated with a set of user data are provided. While annotations for different type data objects may have varying types and numbers of annotation fields, the annotation data contained therein may be consolidated and returned in a uniform annotation data structure (e.g., having a fixed number of fields) used for all types of annotations. For some embodiments, the annotation data structure may contain the consolidated annotation data, as well as a linking value identifying the corresponding annotated data.

摘要翻译： 提供了可用于返回与一组用户数据相关联的注释数据的方法，系统和制品。 虽然不同类型数据对象的注释可能具有不同类型和数量的注释字段，但其中包含的注释数据可以在用于所有类型注释的统一注释数据结构（例如，具有固定数量的字段）中进行合并和返回。 对于一些实施例，注释数据结构可以包含合并的注释数据，以及标识相应的注释数据的链接值。
