Representation manipulation language

摘要

Receiving data from a client machine, the data representing selection of a subset of components of a set of components of a fixed query response representation; performing a map/reduce function on the data to retrieve the subset of components; and transmitting the subset of components to the client machine. The data may include an Xpath expression that is created at the client machine or at a server and the map/reduce function may be performed according to a design pattern that designates the pattern of components in a fixed query response representation designated by the client machine.

1. A method in a networked publication system, the method comprising:
receiving a query from a client machine, via a wireless communication channel; transmitting to the client machine, via the wireless communication channel and in response to the query, a set of components that comprises a fixed query response representation to the query, the set of components representing first information and represented by a set of selectable icons on a user interface of the client machine; receiving from the client machine, via a hardware network interface, data signals representing the selection of fewer than all of the set of selectable icons that were transmitted to the client machine, the selected icons designating a subset of components from the set of components of the fixed query response representation, the subset representing second information that comprises less information than the first information; performing, by at least one hardware processor, a map/reduce function on the received data signals to obtain the subset of components; and transmitting the subset of components to the client machine via the wireless communication channel.
