`
`are stored in the USPTO's image file wrapper system for copending applications
`
`09/573,780, 11/819,125, and 11/819,126. Therefore, copies of the applications are not

`
`U.S. Application No. 09/573,413, identified as a related application, has issued
`
`as U.S. Patent No. 6,920,608. U.S. Application No. 09/573,419, identified as a related

`
`and law regarding the appropriate status of such documents.

`Currently on the Internet, transmissions and communications are commonly conducted using

`to see graphs, apply transformations, combine numbers from different web pages, or load numbers
`
`into a spreadsheet in a manageable form. The numbers cannot be directly read by an analytical I
`
`program without human intervention to cut-and-paste the text, determine the data type, etc.j
`Consequently, conventional analytical programs allow for ad hoc review and manipulation of I
`
`-3-
`
`Exhibit 1002_0019
`
`

`

`abstract numbers (e.g., a spreadsheet program or database program), but do not directly read their
`
`•
`
`data from online sources. Such programs may perform statistical analysis, structural analysis and
`
`simple transformations on data once it has been entered and interpreted.
`
`Given HTML's limited capabilities, and SGML's unwieldy complexity, a markup language
`
`5
`
`called Extensible Markup Language ("XML") was developed to help overcome some of these
`
`limitations. XML is a free-form markup language with unspecified tags, which allows developers
`
`to develop their own tags and, in effect, create their own markup languages geared toward
`
`specialized tasks. In XML, the tags must be organized according to certain rules, but their meaning
`
`is flexible. ·Unlike HTML, XML describes structure and meaning, but not formatting. As such,
`
`10
`
`different professions may develop their own specialized markup languages. For example, if a
`
`developer were to create a markup language that describes books in XML, the developer could create
`
`specifically meaningful tags for "title," "author," and "publisher," something not possible in HTML.
`
`Although XML's free-form structure permits the development of markup languages, such
`
`individualized markup languages are not compatible with each other because the use ofthe tags is
`
`15
`
`not.standardized in that different users use the tags for different purposes.
`
`In today's business world, problems that typically accompany data manipulation often
`
