Patent Images
1. An application specification system, comprising:
- a computing device having a processor and memory wherein the processor implements an information management system having a storage unit;
the storage unit having an application definition language that has an XML schema definition that defines computational and data access aspects of an application, the application hosting a web presence on the computing device;
the storage unit having one or more cells with each cell having one or more components wherein each component defines computational and data access aspects of an application and one or more presentations wherein each presentation defines a user interface for a particular application; and
wherein the web presence performs one or more applications that is instantiated from a cell instance that has one or more components, one or more presentations and content associated with the cell instance, the one or more applications of the web presence are defined by the application definition language and one or more components of the cell instance and the user interface of the one or more applications are defined by the one or more presentations of the cell instance wherein the one or more applications are configured to operate on the content associated with the cell instance;
wherein the web presence is one of a web site, one or more web pages and a web service.

10. A method for specifying an application stored in a storage unit, the method comprising:
-
providing an application definition language that has an XML schema definition that defines computational and data access aspects of an application, the application hosting a web presence on a computing device; providing one or more cells with each cell having one or more components wherein each component defines the computational and data access aspects of an application and one or more presentations wherein each presentation defines a user interface for a particular application; and providing a web presence for performing one or more applications is instantiated from a cell instance that has one or more components, one or more presentations and content associated with the cell instance, the one or more applications of the web presence are defined by the application definition language and one or more components of the cell instance and the user interface of the one or more applications are defined by the one or more presentations of the cell instance wherein the one or more applications are configured to operate on the content associated with the cell instance; wherein the web presence is one of a web site, one or more web pages and a web service. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
