First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-readable medium having computer-readable components for processing source data, comprising:
- a constraint component operable to evaluate at least a portion of a string corresponding to evaluation criteria; and
an anchoring component operable to define a set of anchor points for mapping the evaluation criteria onto the string.

Abstract
A machine declarative language for formatted data processing is provided. The machine declarative language may be used to generate constraints which can be projected onto a string according to one or more anchor points. The constraints can correspond to evaluation criteria. At least a portion of a string can be evaluated according to the evaluation criteria.

10. A method for processing source data comprising:
-
obtaining source data, wherein the source data includes a source string;
obtaining metadata corresponding to the source string, wherein the metadata includes one or more constraints, and wherein the one or more constraints correspond to evaluation criteria and one or more anchor points mappable to a target string; and
projecting the metadata onto the target string. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
