A method and system for improving text searching is disclosed. The method and system provides a network of document relationship and utilizes the network of document relationships to identify the region of documents that can be used to satisfy a user's request. In a preferred embodiment, the text searching method in accordance with the present invention augments a conventional text search by using information on document relationships and metadata. The text searching method and system improves upon conventional text search techniques by incorporating relationship metadata to define regions to search within. In the present invention the definition of a region is not limited to just categories as it includes neighborhoods around individual documents and sets which have been user defined.

A system and method for storing and managing sets of objects is disclosed. The method and system comprises providing a plurality of set nodes based upon a defined set of data objects; and associating a plurality of constraint nodes with the plurality of set nodes. The method and system includes providing a plurality of object nodes based upon the objects; and obtaining object metadata from the plurality of object nodes. The method and system further includes associating at least one of the plurality of object nodes with at least one of the plurality of set nodes based upon a criteria and detecting that at least one of the plurality of set nodes has been modified and delivering a notification to at least one constraint node of a plurality of constraint nodes. Each of the plurality of constraint nodes provides constraints on at least one set node. Accordingly, a method and system in accordance with the present invention unifies the storing and managing of sets in order to simplify overall system behavior. The system and method uses an attributed, directed graph model to store object metadata, object-within-set metadata, and set constraints. By using this model, no special cases exist when an object belongs to just one set or hundreds of sets. The operations required to maintain the graph model are the same in every case. The operations required to maintain the metadata and constraints are also the same in every case. The entire model is therefore a unified and simplified system.

A method and system for managing object types for objects which are defined externally to a system is disclosed. In a first aspect, the method and system comprises recording a relationship of an object to an object class within the system and then recording a system-defined super-class of the object class. A plurality of tables are utilized to record the relationship and the system defined super-class. In a second aspect, a method and system for receiving an externally generated object comprises determining that the externally generated object is represented as an object class in one of a base table and a derived table. The method and system further including obtaining a system-defined super-class of the object. The method and system further includes inserting an object class of the object into the derived table with an identifier of the system-defined super-class and a derived table identifier to create a relationship of a system-defined super-class to a user-defined subclass. The method and system further includes inserting an object and its unique identifier into an objects table, thus creating an accepted object. In a third aspect, a method and system for sending an externally generated object by a system comprises receiving a request, for the object. The request includes a tag. The method and system also includes obtaining information based upon the tag from an object table to provide the object in an appropriate format.

A technique for executing applets is provided. Initially, a webtop applet is loaded into, for example, a browser window. The webtop applet displays the list of applets available to a user. The user selects one or more applets from the list received by the webtop applet. The webtop applet generates a separate JInternal frame for each selected applet, and each JInternal frame executes its associated applet within a separate window. The windows assume different configurations such as being resized, repositioned, cascaded, tiled, windowed, minimized, maximized, or overlapped with one or more other windows within a fixed-size view space of the browser window. Each window is manipulated by the user separately from the other windows which are contained within the fixed sized view space.

摘要:
An implementation of referential integrity in which descriptions of referential constraints are compiled into meta-data descriptions of the constraint rules and specifications. The meta-data descriptions of the constraints are stored in the form of objects called relationship descriptors. Each relationship descriptor contains a complete description of a referential constraint, either directly or by means of pointers to other objects such as record and index descriptors which contain information comprised in the constraint's specification. The relationship descriptors are linked into two types of chains by symbolic pointers. One type of relationship descriptor chain connects all relationship descriptors which have a common parent table. The other type of relationship descriptor chain connects relationship descriptors with common dependent tables. Both types of chains are anchored in respective fields in the tables' record descriptors. The use of meta-data descriptors facilitates both ready modification of the constraints, and speedy enforcement of the constraints by a single, shared procedure which may be embedded in the data base manager.
