DOCUMENT MARKUP LANGUAGE AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR
GENERATING AND DISPLAYING DOCUMENTS THEREIN
Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to the generation and processing of documents
in a
markup language.
Background of the Invention
Markup languages, such as the standard generalized markup language (SGML), and
variants thereof, have been used previously in electronic publishing. One
advantage of a
markup language, rather than a particular data file format, is that a markup
language defines
elements which describe the structure of a document. In such a document,
markup language
elements include tags and their content, such as text, graphics, pointers to
other documentary
15 or other media. Tags may include start tags, end tags, or empty tags. A
start tag begins a
markup element. An end tag ends the corresponding markup element. These start
and end
tags generally define the boundaries of an element. An empty tag is understood
as being both
a start and an end tag with no content. These tags and their content are
interpreted when the
document is rendered to display the content of the document according to a
desired format.
2o One form of markup language is the hypertext markup language (HTML) which
is commonly
used in a client-server system to distribute electronic documents. These
documents are
typically transferred using the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) over the
Internet or other
computer network using the TCP/IP protocol. Other markup languages include the
virtual
reality modeling language (VRML) and HyTime, among other markup languages.
Markup
25 languages generally have been used to define the structure of electronic
documents. When
graphics are used within these documents, they are imported into such
documents by using a
tag, such as the "
Image" tag in HTML. This tag uses a reference to a data file
in some
graphic file format to import the image data. Additionally, such markup
languages typically
have a mechanism to provide a hypertext link from a location in one document
to a location
3o in another document.
While markup languages have many useful features, they also have some
limitations. For example, in HTML, each element can have a hypertext link to
only one other
element or file. Similarly, in HTML, graphics require an image file already to
be created.

The entire image is displayed. HTML browsers generally do not allow selective
viewing of
only a portion of an image or otherwise allow a browser to "zoom" in and out
on an image.
Further, these HTML documents contain static content, and when updated, need
to
be reloaded from a server. In addition, updated HTML documents need to be
created
manually and deposited in server directories, creating additional work for a
document
administrator.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention uses a markup language that defines elements which
improve
to the ability of users to view more complex documents, particularly graphical
documents, such
as those based on data generated by computer-aided design, computer-aided

the electronic
document are instantiated as objects which may be responsive to user input.
These objects
may be graphics objects which respond to events received from the user through
the computer
system. The different layers of the document may be displayed selectively.
Also, the view of
25 the diagram may change using a zoom function, or it may be refreshed, i.e.,
redisplayed, or
the electronically published document may be reloaded and reprocessed. One or
more objects
may be selected. Selection of objects may invoke a display of a menu of

The present invention will be more completely understood through the following
detailed description which should be read in conjunction with the attached
drawing in which
similar reference numbers indicate similar structures. All references cited
herein are
expressly incorporated by reference.
Electronically published documents may be using descriptive markup, i.e.,
tags,
which define a hierarchical structure of a plurality of elements. Such a
markup Language is
the standard generalized markup language (SGML). A document may be represented
using a
structure that is defined as a document type within the SGML standard. The
document type
definition for a markup language used in one embodiment of the present
invention is found in
to Appendix I, which is incorporated herein by reference. Sample documents in
this language
are in Appendices II, III, IV and V, which are incorporated by reference.
Referring now to Fig. 1, one embodiment of the present invention will now be
described. It should be understood that there are several different
embodiments which are
possible, and that the invention is not limited to the one described.
t 5 Fig. 1 illustrates a computer system 20 which receives as one input a data
file 22
which contains a document in a markup language, such as the language of the
document type
shown in Appendix I. The computer system 20 generates display data 24 and
processes user
requests 26.
A suitable computer system 20 typically includes an output device which
displays
2o information to a user. The computer system includes a main unit connected
to the output
device and an input device, such as a keyboard. The main unit generally
includes a processor
connected to a memory system via an interconnection mechanism. The input
device is also
connected to the processor and memory system via the connection mechanism, as
is the
output device.
25 It should be understood that one or more output devices may be connected to
the
computer system. Example output devices include a cathode ray tube (CRT)
display, liquid
crystal displays (LCD), printers, communication devices such as a modem or
network
interface, and audio output. It should also be understood that one or more
input devices may
be connected to the computer system. Example input devices include a keyboard,
keypad,
3o track ball, mouse, pen and tablet, communication device, audio input and
scanner. It should
be understood the invention is not limited to the particular input or output
devices used in
combination with the computer system or to those described herein.

The computer system 20 may be a general purpose computer system which is
programmable using a high level computer programming language, such as the
"C", "C++",
and "Java" programming languages (Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems,
Inc.). Other
programming languages are available. The computer system may also be specially
programmed, special purpose hardware. In a general purpose computer system,
the processor
is typically a commercially available processor, of which the series x86
processors, such as
the Pentium II processor with MMX technology available from Intel and similar
devices from
AMD and Cyrix, and the 680X0 series microprocessors available from Motorola
are
examples (Pentium and Intel are registered trademarks of the Intel
Corporation, MMX is a
1 o trademark of the Intel Corporation, AMD is a trademark of Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc.,
Cyrix is a registered trademark of the Cyrix Corporation, and Motorola is a
trademark of
Motorola, Inc.). Many other processors are available. Such a microprocessor
executes a
program called an operating system, of which the Windows NT, Windows 95, UNIX,
DOS,
VMS, ULTRIX, IRIX, Solaris, VxWorks, OSlWarp, MacOS, and IntranetWare
operating
15 systems are examples (Windows, DOS, and Microsoft are registered
trademarks; and
Windows NT is a trademark of the Microsoft Corporation, VMS and ULTRIX are
trademarks
of Digital Equipment Corporation, IRIX is a registered trademark of Silicon
Graphics, Inc.,
Solaris is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems, OS/Warp is a registered
trademark of
International Business Machines, Inc., and MacOS is a registered trademark of
the Apple
20 Corporation). The operating system controls the execution of other computer
programs and
provides scheduling, debugging, input/output control, accounting, compilation,
storage
assignment, data management and memory management, and communication control
and
related services. The processor and operating system define a computer
platform for which
application programs in high-level programming languages are written.
25 A memory system typically includes a computer readable and writeable
nonvolatile
recording medium, of which a magnetic disk, a flash memory and tape are
examples. The
disk may be removable, such as a floppy disk or removable hard drive, or
permanent, such as
an internal hard drive. A disk has a number of tracks in which signals are
stored, typically in
binary form, i.e., a form interpreted as a sequence of ones and zeros. Such
signals may define
3o an application program to be executed by the microprocessor, or information
stored on the
disk to be processed by the application program. Typically, in operation, the
processor
causes data to be read from the nonvolatile recording medium into an
integrated circuit

_g_
memory element, which is typically a volatile, random access memory such as a
dynamic
random access memory (DRAM) or static memory (SRAM). Other memory types are
available. The integrated circuit memory element allows for faster access to
the information
by the processor than does the disk. The processor generally manipulates the
data within the
integrated circuit memory and then copies the data to the disk when processing
is completed.
A variety of mechanisms are known for managing data movement between the disk
and the
integrated circuit memory element, and the invention is not limited thereto.
It should also be
understood that the invention is not limited to a particular memory system.
It should be understood the invention is not limited to a particular computer
1 o platform, particular processor, or particular high-level programming
language. Additionally,
the computer system 20 may be a multiprocessor computer system or may include
multiple
computers connected over a computer network.
The present invention is also suitable for implementation in a network
environment,
such as the Internet or an Intranet, which connects a server 30 to a client or
browses 32. The
15 server 30 maybe a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server which makes
fifes 22, and
possibly computer programs such as "Java applets" 34, available to the browses
32. Java
applets are programs implemented in the Java programming language, which is a
well-known
object-oriented language in the art of programming. There are many
commercially available
HTTP servers. Other file transfer protocols and servers may be used. The
browses 32 may be
2o any commercially available browses that has the ability to process markup
language
documents. For the purposes of processing java applets 32, the browses should
be "java-
enabled", that is, the browses should be capable of executing programs written
in the Java
programming language. The Netscape Navigator browses, from Netscape
Communications,
Inc., and the Internet Explorer browses, from Microsoft Corporation, are
examples of such a
25 browses. The browses and the server generally communicate by transferring
HTTP messages
over the network, which typically uses the TCP/IP networking protocol. It is
understood that
other networking protocols may be used.
In one embodiment to be described, the "java applet" 34 is utilized by the
browses
32 to process documents in the markup language in accordance with one
embodiment of the
3o present invention. It should be understood that the browses 32 could also
be modified to
process this markup directly, similar to how other extensions to the hypertext
markup

language (HTML) are processed. Further, it should be understood that the HTML
language
may be extended to support these features.
In order to process a document in the markup language in accordance with one
embodiment of the invention, an object oriented system is implemented using a
Java
programming language. This system has four primary object classes as shown in
Fig. 2.
These object classes are a view handler 40, a parser 42, a diagram 44 and a
shape 46. The
parser 42 generates the diagram 44. The view handler 40 is an object that has
several
methods associated with it to manipulate the diagram 44. Also, the view
handler object 40
uses the parser obj ect 42 to generate the diagram 44. The diagram has several
shapes 46
1 o associated with it, one for each graphical object defined in the diagram.
A shape object is
instantiated or generated for each of the graphical objects defined.
The state diagram of a program which generates and uses these objects will now
be
described in connection with Fig. 3. First, the Java appiet for processing
this markup
language is loaded by the browser in state 50. The applet accesses the file
containing the
15 markup language document and parses it in state 52. Parsing of the HGML
document is done
using standard markup language processing techniques using the document type
definition
(DTD) provided in Appendix I. A particular DTD may be defined by one or more
grammar
rules as shown in Appendix I. Given a set of grammar rules, a parser may be
constructed that
verifies the format of a document. Parser creation is well-known in the art of
compiler
2o theory. However, in one embodiment of the invention, the parser is
instantiated as an object
that parses an HGML document. Upon verification by the parser that the
document is valid,
the graphical objects defined by the document are then laid out in the display
area in state 54.
For example, referring to the document shown in Appendix II, a diagram having
a size of
2,000 pixels by 2,000 pixels is first defined. Each graphical object, such as
a rectangle with
25 an identifier equal to "l," is defined as an object, as will be described
below, having a given
position, size, color and fill. The position of each graphical obj ect within
the diagram is
determined. The graphical objects are then drawn on the display in state 56.
These graphical
objects are instantiated in the memory of the computer system. Once objects
are drawn on
the display, user interface events can be serviced in state 5 8, which will be
described in more
3o detail in connection with Fig. 4. Because markup elements are instantiated
as objects, the
objects may be configured to respond to user events. Upon termination of the
need to service
user events, the applet is then terminated in state 60.

PCTlUS98/01763
It should be understood that the invention is not limited to representation of
processing and display of graphical objects, but any markup element may be
represented by
an object that receives events. It should also be known that the generation of
these objects is
not limited to applets or the 3ava programming language, but these objects may
be generated
by a program written in any other object-oriented programming language. Also,
the objects
may be implemented in any suitable programming language, such as a sequential
programming language.
Before describing the servicing of user interface events in connection with
Fig. 4,
Some sample output displays will be described in connection with Figs. 8-15
and their
t o corresponding sample markup documents, shown in Appendices II-V .
Fig. 8 shows an organizational chart that may be generated using one
embodiment of
[a markup language] suitable for implementing the invention. This display
corresponds to the
document shown in Appendix II. Each of the displayed rectangles, such as 62,
may be
selected, as may names such as shown at 64. The selection of an object results
in the display
15 of a menu 66 which allows the selection of one of a multiple of uniform
resource locators
(URL). This menu of selections expands on the hypertext capability typically
found in
HTML documents which allows only one hypertext link assigned per HTML element.
A markup language of the kind described herein is typically useful for viewing
data
developed using a model-based development environment. Such models are used to
describe
2o function, behavior, process, system architecture, and several other aspects
of a system. The
model diagrams describe not only the system or process, but are used as a
focal point of
understanding for communicating information about, designing and supporting a
system or
process. Having multiple models, each representing different views of the
system or process
that can be browsed and navigated to other model data or perhaps to non-model
data, is
25 particularly helpful in model-based development environments.
Models also describe systems in a formalized methodology. This formalism
allows
models developed using some software tools to be converted to a markup
language in
accordance with the invention to allow them to be displayed and navigated. In
general,
certain types of data may be mapped to tags and attributes in the markup
language. In
3o addition, information regarding relationships among data can be used to
generate hypertext
Iinks between elements.

Figs. 9 and 10, which are based on the document in Appendix III, illustrate
how
semantically important information, such as data from a database, can be used
to generate
informative displays. Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate a data flow diagram which
includes primitive
and non-primitive processes. A non-primitive process may be decomposed into
other
processes. Such information may be derived from any original information used
to generate
such a data flow diagram, for example, a computer-aided design or computer-
aided software
engineering tool. For example, particular defined processes may be designated
as primitive
or non-primitive and have an associated shape andlor color. Such information
may be
represented in a markup language either by an element tag or an attribute. A
non-primitive
1 o element will be decomposed into other elements. Typically, another drawing
will exist for
that decomposition. When a given object, e.g., 68, is selected, a menu 70 may
be displayed in
which a reference to the decomposition of that element may be one of the
possible hypertext
links, as illustrated by the command "Show Child." Other information also may
be available,
such as a CAD drawing, a requirements document or personnel and pricing data.
t 5 Fig. 10 illustrates the same document but with a menu that is displayed
when "empty
space" on the diagram is selected. Empty space signifies the space within the
diagram which
is not occupied by an object. Each diagram may have primitive operations
associated with it,
such as zooming, layering, refreshing and reloading, which can be selected
using this menu.
For example, reloading forces re-reading of the data from its source,
refreshing causes a
2o diagram to be repainted on the display. The menu also may allow for
selection of a parent
diagram, for which this model is a decomposition, as indicated at 72. If a
zooming function
is selected, a zooming window, shown in Fig. 12A, is displayed to the user,
from which the
user can control the size of the image they are viewing. This zooming function
allows the
defined documents to be redisplayed within the diagram area in a different
size. The layer
25 function presents a layer window to the user, from which the user can turn
on and off the
display of selected layers. Layers are defined by and dependent upon the
markup language
and whether layers are introduced in the authoring process. An example of
layering will be
described in more detail below in connection with Appendix V and Figs. 13-15.
Some diagram shapes may be replaced by pictures or other graphics, such as
shown
3o at 78 and 80 in Fig. 11, and as defined by the document in Appendix IV.
Referring now to Fig. 13, the document of Appendix V can be used to display a
simple image in a window. Using a language such as HTML, any particular point
on this

graphic may be associated with only a single action or uniform resource
locator {URL).
Additionally, the image that is loaded is one graphic file. The regions of the
image which are
associated with different URLs are commonly implemented using a mapping
function which
maps a pair of coordinate values to a single action to be performed. It is
difficult to
determine where the image map actually is on an image in an HTML document.
By using layers defined by the markup language of one embodiment of the
present
invention, the image may exist in one layer and image map areas may be
implemented as
another layer. Referring to Fig. 14, in the present invention, each region of
the image also
may be associated with a menu of possible hypertext links rather than a single
link. This
o menu can be displayed as shown at 82. When the image map areas are
implemented using a
layer, the layers may be displayed or selected using the layering feature,
which displays the
menu 84. This capability can guide a user to different areas of interest.
Another aspect of the markup language in accordance with one embodiment of the
invention is the attachment of objects, provided using the "attach" and
"attach type"
t 5 attributes. This aspect allows an object or graphic shape to be defined in
relation to other
objects in the diagram. The position, height and width can be defined in this
way. This
allows an object to be defined, for example, as being positioned in the center
of another
object and having one quarter of the size of the other object. A more complex
example is the
relation wherein one object is centered between two other objects having the
same height as
2o the first object, but a width equal to, e.g., one third the distance
between the two other
objects. This feature is useful in representing one object in relation to
others so that when one
is changed, the others are changed in the same manner.
Having now described some of the markup language features, and their
corresponding display features, the state diagram for processing user
interface events to
25 provide these features will now be described in connection with Fig. 4.
A first state is the "nothing selected" state 90. Events which effect the
state
transitions are the user interface events such as a mouse click (either on or
off) or the
completion of an action or the selection of a menu item. Given a mouse click
on an object,
processing moves to the "one thing selected" state 92. If a click on the same
object is
3o received, the system returns to state 90. A click off of an object returns
to the "nothing
selected" state also. A shift key in combination with a mouse click on an
object causes a
transition to the "multiple thing selected" state 94. A shift key and click on
additional items

WO 98133127 PCTIUS98101763

will add them to a list of selected items. A mouse click on one of the already
selected items
will eliminate it from the list. A mouse click off any of the selected items
will cause a
transition back to the "nothing selected" state 90. After a transition to
the"one thing selected"
state 92 or "multiple things selected" state 94, or a click on the background
in the "nothing
selected" state 90, appropriate menus are displayed, which involves a
transition to the
"service selection" state 96. In this state, either the background menu, menu
for a selected
object, or menu for the group of selected objects is displayed and there is a
transition to the
"menu display" state 98. On selection of a menu action, a transition is made
to state 100
where the menu is removed from the display and the action associated with the
menu item is
1 o invoked. If the menu action involves exiting the diagram, the process is
terminated in state
102. Otherwise, processing returns to state 96. In state 98, if no menu item
is selected, for
example, by the receipt of a mouse click event outside the menu area, the menu
is removed
from the display in state 104. Processing then returns to the "service
selection" state 96
which then reverts back to the "nothing selected", "one thing selected" or
"multiple things
selected" states 90, 92 or 94, according to the objects selected which caused
display of the
menu in the first place.
Having now described the general flow of the display and user interface
interaction
with documents in the markup language of the present invention, the layout of
the graphical
objects will now be described in connection with Figs. 5 through 7. These
Figs. are drawn
2o according to the object modeling technique (OMT) which is well-known in the
art of object
oriented programming and described in Object-Oriented Modeling_and Design by
James
Rumbaugh et al., Prentice-Hall, Inc., New Jersey, 1991, which is incorporated
by reference.
Fig. S shows that the diagram 44 is comprised of layers 246 and selected
objects
248. Each layer 246 is comprised of diagram objects 252. The diagram class is
the root of all
layers and diagram objects and is responsible for dispatching events from the
display area to
the appropriate diagram objects. Each diagram object has an associated shape
250. The list
of selected objects 248 comprises a list of diagram objects 252. Each diagram
object 252 is
associated with actions 254. An action 254 may be comprised of several action
items 256.
An action item 256 is a uniform resource locator (URL) attached to a diagram
object. It is
3o displayed as a menu item in the display area and is executed by the
navigator. If the
navigator cannot handle the event, it is passed to the viewer. An action item
has an
associated anchor 258. An attachment 260 has an appearance defined by a
diagram object. A
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26~

WO 98/33127 PCT/US98I017b3
-15
group object 262 is associated with a number of diagram objects, while single
object 264 is
defined as a single diagram object 252. These are subclasses of the diagram
objects 252.
Diagram objects and diagrams may also have an attribute 266 associated
therewith. An
attribute is comprised of one or more attribute items 268. Each attribute item
may have an
s associated text block 270.
Referring now to Fig. 6 shows the different types of graphical objects which
may be
displayed. For example, there may be arc objects 140, ellipse objects 142,
group objects 144,
line objects 146, bit mapped images 148, polygons 150, rectangles I52, text
blocks 154, and
text segments 156. Other object types also may be displayed. Each one of these
objects are
to subclasses of the shape object class 158. The shape is comprised of an
extent object 160
which defines the area of pixels within the diagram that is considered part of
the object. A
line has associated with it a line style object 162 and a line point object
164. An arrow object
166 is a subclass of a line 146 and has an arrowhead 168. A regular polygon
170 is a
subclass of a polygon 150. Text block 154 and text segments 156 use a text
attribute 172. A
15 text block 154 uses a text segment 156. An anchor object 174 is also used.
It is part of a text
block with anchor object 176 and text segment with anchor object 178. Each of
the objects
176 and I78 respectively are subclasses of a text block 154 or text segment
156. Instances of
each of these object classes are generated directly from the markup tags and
associated
attributes which indicate those objects.
2o Referring now to Fig. 7, the display area 180 is the part of the display on
which the
diagram is drawn. This class is responsible for displaying the diagram
objects, scaling the
diagram objects and dispatching mouse events. The size of the display area is
the size of the
diagram times the scale. The navigator object class 182 is the container for
the scale scroller
and the display area. It uses the scale scroller to handle the scrolling of
the diagram in the
25 display area. The scale scroller class is responsible for handling the
horizontal and vertical
scroll bars. The scroll bars are only displayed if the display area is larger
than can be
displayed by the navigator. An diagrams visited object 184 keeps a list of
diagrams that have
been viewed with the viewer. When an action item calls a URL to display a
diagram. this list
is checked to determine whether the diagram was already retrieved. Is so, the
existing
3o diagram object is displayed instead of retrieving the URL.
The viewer 40 and navigator 182 are subclasses of the action handler obj ect
186.
The action handler is an abstract class. Any class that implements this class
is allowed to
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)
CA 02278659 1999-07-23
WO 98/33127 PCT/US98/01763
-16
service the action item request. The viewer class controls all interaction
between the applet
and the browser. Its responsibilities include creation of the diagram drawing
space,
communication with the HTTP server for retrieving f les in this markup
language and
invocation of action items which are URL references. The navigator performs
action items
188 which are elements within a menu item 190 which in turn are within a menu
I92 which is
displayed by a method of the display area object 180. A menu item represents
the visual
component of an action item. A control object 198 is an operation that can be
performed by
the navigator, which are included in a list maintained as an abstract class
called a control list
200. Navigator 182 has a navigational control object 202 which is a subclass
of the control
I o Iist 200. It is the list of available or built-in menu options that are
performed by the
navigator. Some global variables are stored in a global object 204, such as
the base URL of a
document.
The navigator also has a zoom control object 194 which uses a scale controller
196.
The zoom control displays a window to the user as shown in Fig. 12A which
allows the user
to change the zoom factor or scale of the diagram objects displayed in the
display area. By
changing the scale, the diagram is redisplayed in the new scale immediately.
A layer control object 210 is used to monitor which layers are active to be
used by
the navigator 182. It has a method for displaying a window which lists all the
layers in the
diagram. The user can select a layer to display it or deselect it in order not
to display it. The
2o display of the diagram is updated immediately upon a layer selection
change.
The ExtFrameProducer 207 is an abstract class. Any class that implements this
class
is allowed to produce external windows, such as the zoom control and layer
control classes.
The ExtFrame class 208 is an external window container. It is used for
displaying any pop-
up window. The ExtFrame is added to an external frame list object 20b. The
frames are
created by the class 207 or a subclass.
Each of the object classes has associated methods for creation of instances of
these
objects, reading and displaying these objects, updating the values describing
the objects and
deleting the objects. The implementation of such methods can be done by one of
ordinary
skill in the art and following the desired display and user interface actions
above.
3o Having now described a few embodiments of the invention, it should be
apparent to
those skilled in the art that the foregoing is merely illustrative and not
limiting, having been
presented by way of example only. Numerous modifications and other embodiments
are
