Appeal No. 2002-1506
Application 09/219,934
The disclosed invention pertains to a flexibly adaptable
asset management system with read-write capability features for
processing and manipulating assets. An asset of the invention is
defined to be a set of related data, or meta data, for a document
or an object and/or the actual data itself. The assets may
represent, for example, data in the form of text, full-motion
video, audio, graphics or images.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A flexibly adaptable asset management system for
deploying asset management functions to a client application for
manipulating assets, representing data, in a data store, using
classes for transfers between the data store and the client
application, the system comprising:
an asset manager server disposed between the client
application and the data store, the asset manager server
including:
at least one client adapter for providing interface
functions between the client application and the asset manager
server;
at least one schema adapter for mapping the assets to the
data stored in the data store and for transferring the data to
and from the data store in response to methods invoked in the at
least one client adapter by the client application; and
at least one object oriented class, being one of the
classes, wherein an instance of the at least one object oriented
class encapsulates the data and associated behaviors for
transferring between the at least one schema adapter and the
client application through the at least one client adapter,
