First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented at least in part by a computer comprising:
- determining a correlation between a first node of a first electronic form and a node of a plurality of nodes of a second electronic form based on an annotation to the first node of the first electronic form, the annotation indicating that a first schema fragment governing the first node and a second schema fragment governing the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form indicate that the first node and the node of the plurality of nodes are capable of association; and
importing, based on this correlation between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form, data between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form.

Abstract
Determining correspondence, association, and/or correlation between nodes of electronic forms based on schemas of those forms is described. Importing, merging, and/or annotating data from one electronic form into another electronic form based on correspondence, association, and/or correlation between nodes is also described.

determining a correlation between a first node of a first electronic form and a node of a plurality of nodes of a second electronic form based on an annotation to the first node of the first electronic form, the annotation indicating that a first schema fragment governing the first node and a second schema fragment governing the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form indicate that the first node and the node of the plurality of nodes are capable of association; and importing, based on this correlation between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form, data between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, implement an import engine configured to perform acts comprising; determining a correlation between a first node of a first electronic form and a node of a plurality of nodes of a second electronic form based on an annotation to the first node of the first electronic form, the annotation indicating that a first schema fragment governing the first node and a second schema fragment governing the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form indicate that the first node and the node of the plurality of nodes are capable of association; and importing, based on this correlation between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form, data between the first node of the first electronic form and the node of the plurality of nodes of the second electronic form. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
