The present disclosure generally relates to computing methods and applications. A service platform includes standard functionalities that can be used in different applications, such as composite applications. The service platform includes a database that stores application specific information, which is mapped to the standard functionalities. To use these functionalities, different applications initialize relevant parts of the database and use predefined standards to access these functionalities.

Conceptual services implementation platform

A system for automated contract management includes a computing device () and a memory storing program instructions that when executed by computing device (). The program instructions cause the computing device () to generate an ontology () of terms and cross-contractual relationships in contracts () and machine interpretable terms () and cross-contractual relationships () derived from the contracts () with reference to the ontology (). A method for automated contract management is also provided.

Automated contract management

A method and system for modifying program applications of a legacy computer system to directly output data as XML using a DOM instance, models the legacy computer system, maps the model to an XML schema and automatically modifies one or more applications to directly output XML formatted data from an internally constructed DOM instance in cooperation with a writer engine. The writer engine allows for an arbitrary number of contexts to be simultaneously active and builds a complete DOM instance by using the multiple contexts to buffer output data. The writer engine directly loads XML schema information to construct and output DOM instances in accordance with the schema and subject to further transformation by XSLT stylesheets.

Method and system for reporting XML data based on precomputed context and a document object model

A method and system for modifying program applications of a legacy computer system to directly output data in XML format models the legacy computer system, maps the model to an XML schema and automatically modifies one or more applications to directly output XML formatted data in cooperation with a writer engine and a context table. A modeling engine lists the incidents within the applications that write data and generates a report data model. The report data model includes statically determined value or type of the data fields and is written in a formal grammar that describes how the write operations are combined. A modification specification is created to define modifications to the legacy computer system applications that relate applications that write data to the XML schema. A code generation engine then applies the modification specification to the applications to write modified applications that, in cooperation with a writer engine and context table, directly output XML formatted data from the legacy computer system without a need for transforming the data.
