An occurrence description scheme that describes an occurrence of a semantic entity in multimedia content is encoded into a content description for the content. The occurrence description scheme is extracted from the content description and used by an application to search, filter or browse the content when a full structural or semantic description of the content is not required.
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is related to and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 60/305,448 filed Jul. 13, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
A computer system is composed of sending and receiving computers. The sending computer includes an encoder module encoding an internal representation of a structured document to generate an encoded document. The receiving computer includes a decoder module which receives the encoded document through a network, and decodes the encoded document to reproduce the internal representation. The encoder module lists texts and structures included within the structured document without duplication to thereby generate validation information, and incorporates the validation information into the encoded document. The decoder module includes a validation module which is responsive to the validation information to validate whether a data structure of the reproduced internal representation is in compliance with a predetermined document type declaration.
In an implementation of application data processing, an application data file is received and memory mapped. A data parser then parses and validates the memory mapped application data.
An encoding and a decoding method for transmitting and storing description element(s) of an XML-like document which is an instance of an XML-like schema.
