NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An application platform for executing applications in which functionality is separated into layers in accordance with the MVC design paradigm, the application platform configured to:
- provide a bind operation handler for binding an object defined in an application'"'"'s user interface logic to a document in the data model, wherein multiple objects may be bound to the same document;
allowing the object to utilize rules and interpret content in the document to which the object is bound without having to understand the structure of the document; and
maintaining a rule handler in the data model that defines how each rule-using object bound to the same document will interpret their data binding.

Abstract
Generally described, the present invention is directed to a network operating system that provides more effective ways of leveraging the connectivity of computer networks. In one embodiment, an XML virtual machine is implemented that accepts high-level application code written in an XML programming language as input. Functionality is provided to interpret or translate the application code written in an XML programming language into code that is suitable for execution across computer platforms. Moreover, the XML virtual machine supports the Model View Controller (MVC) design paradigm that facilitates true data abstraction from applications to a common data model. Multi-instance applications, with each instance potentially supporting multiple views, may be created and executed.
