An authentication framework subsystem enables a computer system to authenticate a user with a selected one of a plurality of authentication processes. Each of the authentication processes has a distinct sequence of steps and a unique input/output (I/O) interface for exchanging authentication information with the computer system. The invention includes an authentication framework in the computer system. An application program interface in the authentication framework provides an interface to an I/O component, such as a graphical user interface (GUI), of the computer system. A plurality of authentication modules interface with the framework. Each module has a conversation function driver defining a programmed sequence of steps to authenticate a user with a distinct authentication process. A conversation function in the application program interface, defines a programmed sequence of steps for controlling the I/O component in response to generic instructions that have the same format but different sequences for each of the authentication modules.

A network directory, a translation element, a registration element and an execution management element provide business process integration between trading partners. The network directory includes information relating to business processes and communication techniques for use with those trading partners. This directory includes a repository of information about objects and entities included in a platform for supply chain management. It includes descriptions of trading partners, administrative functions, business processes, principals and others. The directory can be used to perform such tasks as service discovery, principal authentication and administrative functions. Other elements of the invention such as the translation element, registration element and execution management element can be coupled to the network directory and provide for receiving messages in one or more particular formats, registering new trading partners, integrating new trading partners and providing oversight functions.

A system and method for producing semantically-rich representations of texts to amplify and sharpen the interpretations of texts. The method relies on the fact that there is a substantial amount of semantic content associated with most text strings that is not explicit in those strings, or in the mere statistical co-occurrence of the strings with other strings, but which is nevertheless extremely relevant to the text. This additional information is used to both sharpen the representations derived directly from the text string, and also to augment the representation with content that, while not explicitly mentioned in the string, is implicit in the text and, if made explicit, can be used to support the performance of text processing applications including document indexing and retrieval, document classification, document routing, document summarization, and document tagging. These enhancements may be used to support down-stream processing, such as automated document reading and understanding, online advertising placement, electronic commerce, corporate knowledge management, and business and government intelligence applications.

A method, system and computer program product for identifying documents of interest. A profile of a subscriber is created based on information obtained about the subscriber. Subscriber-interest determination rules are used to identify potential topics of interest of the subscriber based on the subscriber's profile as well as based on external knowledge sources. Each potential interest of the subscriber may be represented by a pointer that references a concept. Additionally, concepts in the documents published by the publishers are identified. A comparison may be made between the concepts identified in the documents published by the publishers with those concepts representing the potential topics of interests of the subscriber. Those documents with matching concepts may then be identified as potentially being of interest for the subscriber. In this manner, documents of interest are more accurately identified for the document seeker.
