Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A machine based tool and associated logic and methodology used in converting data from an input form to a target form using context dependent conversion rules. A frame-slot architecture is utilized where a frame represents an intersection between a contextual cue recognized by the machine tool, associated content and related constraint information to specific to that conversion environment. A slot represents an included chunk of information. An exemplary conversion system ( 400 ) includes a parser ( 402 ) for use in parsing and converting an input stream ( 403 ) to provide an output stream ( 411 ) in a form for use by a target system ( 412 ). The parser ( 402 ) uses information from a public schema ( 406 ), a private schema ( 408 ) and a grammar ( 410 ). The public schema ( 406 ), private schema ( 408 ) and grammar ( 410 ) may include conversion rules applicable to less than the whole of a subject matter area including the input stream ( 403 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method for use in operating a machine-based tool for converting data from a first form to a second form, comprising the steps of: establishing, based on external knowledge of a subject matter area independent of analysis of a particular data set to be converted, a number of schema, each including one or more conversion rules for use in converting data within a corresponding context of said subject matter area; identifying a set of data to be converted from…
