US 8171397 B2 Abstract In a complex workflow environment, a data-type-definition (DTD) schema drives a dynamic business component instantiation and execution framework that integrates documents with data and information created by various applications, potentially operating on several different platforms, enabling complex workflow and collaboration to occur over a communication network such as the Internet. The DTD execution language is preferably an industry specific XML-based tag set that defines business component instantiation, execution, input and output parameters, workflow, user profile, and collaboration specifications for a given task or data in a complex workflow process. Business and data processing components available on systems both within and outside the complex workflow system are called upon to provide the processing, interpretation, and transformation functions for the complex workflow system. The results of such processing are then returned to the complex workflow system for integration within the workflow process. The system and method also contemplates the conversion of an extensible markup language (XML) file, such as a WellXML™ file, to data elements that are accessible by a server.

No. 60/359,923 filed 25 Feb. 2002 entitled Operational Event Summary the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth within. 1. Field of Invention This invention relates generally to the use of data-type definition language to identify types of electronic files and provide functional instructions for the processing of such files. The invention further relates to systems for managing workflow processes over a communication network. 2. Description of the Related Art Present systems for enhancing business workflow, whether intra-business or inter-business are generally limited to the scope of the information subject matter they were designed to address. For example, some accounting systems have the ability to import information from external sources in order to manipulate it according to the processes and constructs of that system. Some systems have integrated even more categories of business information to provide more comprehensive tracking and business management capabilities for the users. For example, available "enterprise software" applications track not only accounting information, but also sales, inventory, pricing, shipping, and other information in a single, integrated environment. The limitation of these systems is that information provided to these systems must be in a format that is recognizable and manipulable by the systems. In many instances, the information must be entered in a system specific environment in order to be recognized and processed by the system. Further, many of the more complex systems integrating various and previously disparate functions require the components of the systems to constantly monitor the information flowing through the system to determine whether that information is relevant to that component and therefore whether that component must then perform some function. Many of these systems take the form of a hub and spoke network as seen in prior art However, the shipping application may not be activated by the order information inherently received from the hub. Instead the shipping application waits for information from the inventory application before initiating shipping arrangements, because if there is no product in inventory there is nothing to ship. The shipping application may then publish shipping costs to the hub, which are transmitted to all applications do not need the shipping information received, the accounting application debits the shipping costs to the ledger when the shipping information is received to populate and maintain the business books. In a hub and spoke system, therefore, any information received at the hub is published to all other applications on the network, regardless of whether they have use for the information. The applications are in constant communication with the hub to monitor for relevant incoming information that indicates that they must take action. This constant publication and monitoring can result in bottlenecks in the network. Another prior art system is a channel-based enterprise integration model as shown in prior art In a complex workflow system, it is desirable to integrate documents with data and information created by various applications, perhaps even operating on several different platforms. Integration of such documents in the complex workflow system may be difficult because the workflow system may not have the necessary components or applications for processing and interpreting the documents can be extremely time and resource consuming and a significant expense; in fact it may be never-ending. On the other hand, the information contained in such files could be very valuable to the complex workflow process. A data-type-definition (DTD) or schema, preferably an extensible mark-up language (XML) schema, is contemplated for the consistent, dynamic exchange of complex services data via valid DTD encoded documents. These DTDs provided for documents can be global or industry specific depending upon the processes desired by any particular workflow system. The DTD execution language is preferably an XML-based tag set that defines business component instantiation, execution, input and output parameters, workflow, user profile, and collaboration specifications for a given task or data in a complex workflow process. A language execution broker identified by DTDs, and dispatches the documents and instructions to a processor selection component, for example, a dynamic plug-and-play (PNP) engine, for execution. In order to integrate the information in such files into the complex workflow environment, an XML-driven dynamic business component instantiation and execution framework is created, enabling complex workflow and collaboration to occur over a communication network, for example, the Internet. Business and data processing components available on systems both within and outside the complex workflow system are called upon to provide the processing, interpretation, and transformation functions for the complex workflow system. The results of such processing are then returned to the complex workflow system for integration within the workflow process. In this way, the complex workflow system maintains a focus on the workflow process, rather than branching out into other tangential processing functions. The PNP engine then executes the instructions in the DTD document by calling upon the necessary processing objects or components, either internal or external on third party processing systems. The PNP engine either calls a local object or routes the DTD document and instructions to an external application. The PNP engine also orchestrates the processing flow and collaboration with the external components as defined by the particular DTD document and instructions. The PNP engine preferably interfaces in an object-oriented environment such as objects, applications, and other components called upon by the PNP engine can be added, removed, or updated dynamically without affecting the functionality of the PNP engine. The interaction of the components of the dynamic DTD processing system 100 is shown in In other instances, the user may not be able to directly access the complex workflow platform and the transfer of information may be delayed. For example, a user with a PDA may work on browser-based documents while offline, using XML or other DTD-based browser generation and data storage processes instead of server-based. The information entered into these documents may be stored on the PDA as, for example, XML documents until the user has access to a network. The user than has two options: 1) to directly synchronize document information from the PDA over a connection with the communication network 115 with project or document information already residing on the system server 125; or 2) to first synchronize the information on the PDA with a desktop personal computer utilizing synchronization client software or any other appropriate application, and then to synchronize with the system server 125 from the desktop computer. The synchronization and transmission preferably takes place via secure socket layer connection between the user interface device 105 and the system server 125. The data, information, object, application, relational data structure, or other file type (herein referred to individually as a "document" or collectively as "documents") prepared by a user and transmitted from the user interface device 105 is preferable tagged with DTD information. In the preferred embodiment the DTD language used is XML and the user transmitted documents referred to herein are XML tagged documents 110. An XML tagged document 110 can be generated within a client application correlative to the complex workflow platform 120 environment, or by any other application. An XML tagged document 110 may likewise be generated on the system server 125 within the complex workflow platform 120, for example, via user input into web-based templates resident on the system server 125. In a preferred embodiment the XML tags are taken from a particular set that defines business component instantiation and execution, input and output parameters, and workflow and collaboration specifications for a given complex workflow process. An XML tagged document 110 preferably has at minimum an "XML set" tag to identify the particular industry XML subset, and a "document type" tag that would be used to match the document with appropriate XML based processing instructions. Other sets of DTD language constructs may be used to tag documents for performance within the scope of this invention. A specific instantiation of a preferred complex workflow platform 120 is the workflow system for the upstream oil and gas industry disclosed in two prior, related U.S. patent applications identified by Ser. No. 11/076,071 filed 8 Mar. 2005 entitled Process and System for Matching Buyers and Sellers of Goods and/or Services and Ser. No. 09/801,106 filed 6 Mar. 2004 entitled Method and Process for Providing Relevant Data, Comparing Proposal Alternatives, and Reconciling Proposals, Invoices, and Purchases Orders with Actual Costs in a Workflow Process. The XML tagged documents 110 in such an embodiment preferably adhere to a specific subset of XML to provide deep vertical integration within the oil and gas industry. Such an XML subset called WellXML has been proposed and developed by Wellogix, Inc. of Houston, Tex. An exemplary XML tagged document 110 using WellXML tags is shown in The XML tagged document 110 of Returning to The language execution broker 140 reads the tags on the XML tagged document 110 and, if necessary, provides additional information or instructions in order to ensure appropriate processing of the XML tagged document 110. The language execution broker 140 initially reads the "document type" 310 of the incoming XML tagged document 110, matches it with the appropriate XML-based processing instruction set, and forwards these two documents to the PNP engine 145 for processing. The XML-based processing set contains key processing information, for example: the name of the component, application, or software object (hereinafter collectively "component(s)") that processes the incoming document; the methods of that component that should be executed; the location of the component, either within the complex workflow platform 120 or accessible over the network 115; the input and output parameters for the particular component; and if more than one component is needed to process the incoming document, the processing set provided by the language execution broker 140 includes instructions for orchestrating the workflow between the components. Any additional instructions determined by the language execution broker are attached to the XML tagged document 110 as it is muted for additional processing. With reference to the exemplary XML tagged document of After the language execution broker 140 has matched the XML tagged document 1 10 with the appropriate XML, language processes, it then dispatches the document, along with the processing information, to the dynamic Plug and Play (PNP) engine 145 for execution. The PNP engine 145 executes the instructions in the XML tagged document 110, and in any further attachments thereto generated by the language execution broker 140, by dynamically calling upon the necessary business component found in either an internal component of the complex workflow platform 120 or an external processing system 150, and orchestrating the entire workflow and collaboration process as defined by the particular XML tagged document 110. The PNP engine can interface with numerous external processing systems 150 that have many and varied business component processes in order to appropriately process the XML tagged document 110 for use by the complex workflow system 120. The PNP engine 145 contacts the desired external processing systems 150 as needed and transmits the XML tagged document 110 and supporting instructions for processing. The PMP engine 145 uses the XML-based processing instructions in its dynamic instantiation and execution of external processing systems 150. The PNP engine 145 makes the appropriate dynamic component calls depending upon the nature of the external processing system 150. For example, the PNP engine 145 can simply transmit the necessary information from the XML tagged document 110 and from any additional XML instructions as XML via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) if the external processing system 150 is a simple object access protocol (SOAP) enabled web service or related architecture. In this case the PNP engine 145 would contact the external processing system 150 by its uniform resource locator (URL) and request, using web services description language (WSDL), the data variables needed by the processing system 150 and the expected data type return after processing. Once this information is known the PNP engine 145 sends the appropriate XML tagged data to the URL for processing and provides a URL for return of the process result to the PNP engine 145. Other methodologies for calling external processing systems into service may be used by the PNP engine 145. A second exemplary method is through dynamic Java® component instantiation using reflection- and introspection-based components. Briefly, this is a Java® construct wherein the PNP engine 145 asks an object about itself and the object returns information about the functions it performs, the input parameters it requires, and the output parameters it provides. This allows the PNP engine 145 to determine what data to provide to the object for processing. A third exemplary method is to use Java® native interface capabilities to similarly ask a non-Java® component (e.g., C, C++) how to instantiate itself and what input parameters it requires. A fourth exemplary method employs Java database connectivity (JDBC) to interface with all JDBC enabled databases. The connectivity protocol allows the PM′ engine 145 access to a database to determine requirements for start procedures in the database, call methods, and input and output parameters. This method also allows for both structured query language (SQL) calls and access to stored procedures. None of the external processing systems 150 needs to monitor the PMP engine 145 for data that they have the ability to process. Rather, the PMP engine 145 contacts only an external processing system 150 with desired business components, which is then instantiated for processing the XML. tagged documents 110. The XML tagged document 110 can therefore originate from any application or platform. However, with the identification of the XML tags, the PM′ engine 145 can chose an appropriate internal component or external processing system 150 to process the XML tagged document 110 according to the instructions defined therein and provide resulting information, or the document itself, in a format that can be integrated into the workflow process of the complex workflow system 120. If immediate processing of the XML tagged document 110 is necessary for the operation of the complex workflow system, or otherwise desired, or if it is appropriate for an XML tagged document 110 stored in the repository to be processed, the function moves to step 225. At step 225, the language execution broker 140, to which the XML tagged document 110 is passed by the synchronization server 130, determines the processing requirements of the XML tagged document 110 based upon the information provided about the document 110 in the XML tag. The language execution broker 140 attaches any necessary additional processing information for the XML tagged document 110 document, based upon the XML tags, step 230 and then mutes the XML tagged document 110 and any additional processing instructions, to the PMP engine 145, step 235. The PNP engine 145 next determines the appropriate business component to instantiate to process the XML tagged document 110 according to the instructions provided in the XML tags, step 240. The PMP engine queries whether the appropriate business component is internal to the complex workflow system, step 245. If the complex workflow system has the ability to process the XML tagged document 110 document internally, the document 110 is routed within the complex workflow system 120 to the appropriate component for processing. Once processed, the document 110, or the information or data therein, is integrated into the workflow process of the complex workflow system 120, step 270. If the XML tagged document 110 cannot be processed internally, the PNP engine 145 contacts an appropriate business component on an external system 150 to instantiate it for processing XML tagged document 110, step 255. The XML tagged document 110 is transmitted over the communication network 115 to the business component of the external processing system 150. Once the XML tagged document 110 has been processed by the chosen external processing system 150, the processed document 110 is returned to the PMP engine 145 over the communication network 115, step 265, and integrated into the workflow process of the complex workflow system 120, step 270. In addition to providing for the dynamic instantiation of external components for processing data used by the dynamic DTD processing system 100, the methodologies disclosed also provide an ability for users who are not able to use the complex workflow platform 120, or who have documents that cannot be created within the complex workflow platform 120, to interface with other users. Normally then, the seller would be notified by the complex workflow platform 120 that a request is available for review, and the seller would review the data and documents in the request through the seller's interface with the platform 120, block 430. In this case as well, the communication envelopes in the request would be processed by the DTD dynamic processing system 100. Man alternative, if the seller is not part of the complex workflow platform, the communication envelopes may simply be passed by the platform 120 to the seller's external system for processing and review by the seller external to the platform 120. In this instance, the DTD dynamic processing system 100 might not actually process the envelopes for the seller, but merely route them to the seller for external processing, block 450. A response by a seller to a request by a buyer is normally prepared within the complex workflow platform 120 via inputs from the seller through an interface, block 440. The DTD dynamic processing system 100 appropriately tags response documents and inserts the envelopes created into a response package made available to the buyer, block 460. 10 However, in the event the seller is external to the platform 120, the seller may still pass appropriately tagged documents to the platform 120, block 450, which will be recognized by the DTD dynamic processing system and inserted in to a response package to be made available to the buyer, block 460. Again, normally the buyer would be notified that a response to a request is available and review the response as processed by the DTD dynamic processing system 100 within the platform 120 through a user interface, block 470. However, in the event the buyer is external to the complex workflow platform 120, the response package may merely be routed to the buyer's external system for processing and review by the buyer system In this way, through the use of the tagged documents in communication envelopes, the workflow processes of the platform 120 are made accessible to a greater body of users. This may be desirable for users who, for example, would rather use their own, perhaps proprietary, processing systems to analyze the data and documents, but still want the opportunity to interface with other users through the complex workflow platform 120. Whether the response documents are prepared within the system 100 or on a seller's external system, the DTD dynamic processing system 100 inserts the prepared envelopes into a response package for provision to the buyer, step 560. The logic then queries whether the buyer is external to the platform 120, step 570. If not, the DTD dynamic processing system 100 processes the response package and the buyer reviews the response within the platform 120 via an interface, step 580. If the buyer is external to the platform 120, the system 100 recognizes that it need not perform any processing and merely routes the envelopes 10 comprising the response package to the buyer system for processing and review, step 590. Although various embodiments of this invention have been described above with a certain degree of particularity, or with reference to one or more individual embodiments, those skilled in the art could make numerous alterations to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. It is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative only of particular embodiments and not limiting. Changes in detail or structure maybe made without departing from the basic elements of the invention as defined in the following claims. The present invention relates to the field of automated business management tools and methodologies. More specifically, the present invention relates to the field of managing information utilized in developing and administering complex projects and/or processes. The present invention also relates to the field of automated business management tools and methodologies. More specifically, the present invention relates to the field of managing information utilized in developing and administering complex projects and/or processes. Information for engineers, cross-functional teams, executives and other users to plan, administer, manage, and complete projects and processes is typically created in multiple software applications and maintained in files and locations that are inconvenient to utilize and/or access. Often such information, which, for example, may include well operations reports (for example, daily drilling reports, completion reports, work over reports, and activity logs/events), project parameters, scheduling information, technical specifications, change tracking, vendor/supplier relationship management and feedback, requests for quotes and proposals, requests for service, daily reports, performance reviews and more is often stored on paper in filing cabinets. Such information often may not be readily accessible to team members and others because of its format, storage location, identification and accessing schemes (i.e., how the information is filed in the cabinets, identified and then retrieved for review). With the advent of computerized filing systems, such information has been relocated from the physical file cabinets of the past to the virtual file cabinets of the present (which are suitably hosted on electronic and computer based client-server databases and systems). However, the difficulties inherent in identifying, accessing and retrieving such information (whether physically or virtually stored) have not been overcome and instead have been shifted from physical searching to virtual searching. Further, current systems and processes do not provide the needed capabilities to mine such information, after it has been identified and retrieved, in a convenient, easily accessible and beneficial manner. Thus, there is a need for systems and processes which enable users to quickly and efficiently access, manipulate, utilize, and exploit information concerning projects, operations and processes on a real-time basis. Further, current systems and processes do not enable users to quickly, and/or on a real-time basis, document the performance of a project or operation with which they are involved (for example, the status of an oil well drilling project). In short, current systems do not enable users to document project details "on the fly." Similarly, access to historic project information (e.g., for a past and similar well drilling project in the area) is often problematic and does not allow users to quickly obtain the historic performance and/or operational parameter information which may be of value to the user and ultimately the success of the project. Further, a system which allows such users to access the information and present/reformat the information in a useful/desired format (for example, in a graphical format) is needed. Additionally, a system is needed which reduces the amount of time necessary to plan complex projects. In the oil and gas industry, for example, engineers often spend considerable time researching well files when planning to conduct operations on existing wells and/or developing new wells. For example, when planning a new well, an engineer will often research well files of "offset" wells to determine the costs, time to perform, and the hazards experienced during operations. This information is commonly accessed via paper or electronic files without any expert systems assistance. The information accessed is then used to plan a new well in hopes of minimizing the risks associated with the new well. Such information is then commonly only accessible by researching an existing well's file and does not provide readily accessible information on similarly situated projects. Thus, a need exists for a knowledge management system which enables users to research, identify and utilize information from like projects and not just from those projects with which they already know about or have to conduct an extensive search in or to so identify. It is against this background that various embodiments of the present invention were developed. According to one embodiment of the invention, disclosed herein is a system and process which provides engineers, cross-functional teams, executives and other users with the ability to document and exploit a company's operations and performance details for a project, operation or process in real-time from anywhere in the world over the Internet or a similar network. In one example, the present invention provides a foundation for an intelligent electronic filing system and process which may be utilized, for example, to obtain and provide information on an oil and gas well project. In one embodiment in the context of the oil and gas industry, the system may provide a well repository (i.e., a database containing information relating to at least one well) as part of an intelligent electronic knowledge management system. As described further herein below, in one embodiment the well repository integrates various pieces of data and information received by a centralized, integrated web-based data application system. According to one broad aspect of another embodiment of the invention, disclosed herein is a method for converting an extensive markup language (XML) file, such as a WellXML™ file, to data elements accessible by a server. In one example, the method includes receiving an XML file, determining the type of data provided in the XML file, and identifying at least one metafile associated with the type of data determined by the determining operation, wherein the metafile specifies one or more parameters present in the type of date determined by the determining operation. One or more data elements in the XML file are identified as corresponding to the one or more parameters, and an output file is generated which includes the one or more data elements. The output file may be stored on a server accessible y clients in a network. In this manner, a large number of files are converted into XML or the lie can be made accessible over a network. In an oil and gas embodiment, the present invention enables Engineers and Managers to extract, utilize and present such information pertaining to the exploration, discovery, development and exploitation of oil and gas resources. In one embodiment, such information is provided in a usable format so that timely and intelligent decisions can be made which have a positive influence upon the exploitation of natural resources and especially the development and/or operational performance of current and future wells. In one example, a robust, secure, centralized, web-based database and infrastructure may be provided and can be accessed from anywhere at anytime. Further, the repository of information may contain operational parameters associated with wells (or other projects/processes) which may be utilized to determine Which operational procedures and policies work or do not work for an industry, a specific company, a region, a project or any other level. Comparisons and analytical analyses can be conducted using the system at any time or stage of a process, project or operation from any authorised user. The information necessary to perform such analysis is preferably captured via a secure, centralized well repository structure, in one example. Further, the tools, business rules, operations, engineering rules, procedures and policies necessary to analyze such information may be provided and can be accessed from a suitably equipped system. It is to be appreciated that various types of information may be suitably received by the system including, for example, work flow information collected by the Wellogix® system navigator on its navigator/Dynamaps™ function, operational data stores (for example, information provided by Landmark Graphics Drilling Information Management System (DIMS) application), and back-office financial systems (for example, SAP via Vitria's™ enterprise integration capabilities). Such information may be provided in an Extendible Markup Language (XML) format such as WellXML™ format or suitably converted into such format. WellXML™ is a subset of XML which is tailored for the oil and gas industry, and provides a flexible and comprehensive interfacing scheme for data structures used to facilitate the transfer of information associated with complex engineering services, drilling related functions between homogeneous and heterogeneous application systems. Upon receiving such information, such as in the WellXML™ format, the system in one example integrates this information and other information as desired into a database that may be exploited by authorized users for business intelligence purposes, for example, presenting tables and graphs of a well configuration and operational performance thereof, determining the effectiveness of current processes, analyzing results of project strategies, isolating trouble areas, and locating sufficient resources. Other examples include True Vertical Depth versus Vertical Section reports, trouble time versus hole sections reports, and others. Various embodiments of the present invention may be embodied as computer program products including a computer usable medium and computer readable code embodied on the computer usable medium, the computer readable code including computer readable program code devices configured to cause the computer to perform or effect one or more of the operations described herein. The features, utilities and advantages of various embodiments of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. As shown in Further, the disclosures of the following co-pending U.S. patent applications are also incorporated by reference in their entirety: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/801,016 filed on Mar. 6, 2001 entitled "Method and Process for Providing Relevant Data, Comparing Proposal Alternatives, and Reconciling Proposals, Invoices, and Purchase Orders with Actual Costs in a Workflow Process"; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/283,701 Filed on Apr. 12, 2001, entitled "Data-Type Definition Driven Dynamic Business Component Instantiation and Execution" along with its corresponding non-provisional application filed on Apr. 12, 2002, Ser. No. 10/121,310. The tools, business rules, operations, engineering rules, procedures and policies, such as described in the patent application entitled "System and Method for Developing Rules Utilized in a Knowledge Management System," referenced above, may be used to analyze such information and can be accessed from a suitably equipped system. The server 110 suitably converts the received data from data source 102 into formatted documents, such as in one example WellXML™ documents which are an implementation of XML. In one embodiment, the WellXML™ data includes at least two elements: an envelope and informational data. The envelope functions as a wrap on the informational data and preferably provides and indication of a type of data contained therein, the source of the data, the destination of the data (provided, for example, if the data is not to be saved in servers associated with the source) and any other identification and/or routing information necessary. The informational data provides specific parameters associated with a process, routine, request, job, or the like. The source data 102 may include well planning data as well as information extracted from other reports and information conveyance vehicles, in one example. Examples of the types of source data 102 which the system 100 may receive and process may include: operational reports provided during the lifetime of a well; daily drilling reports; directional surveys which show the profile of a well; time and cost parameters (including trouble time and trouble encountered); drill bit performance parameters; health, safety, and environmental information; completion reports; time and cost parameters; stimulation reports; perforating reports; and wireline reports. The patent application entitled "Method and Automated Process for Marching Buyers and Sellers of Goods and/or Services," referenced above, describes one embodiment of a system for inputting, saving, manipulating and accessing such information. It is to be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to using source data 102 provided only by and/or in conjunction with the Wellogix® system and/or an oil and gas embodiment. Other data may be utilized as desired from any source via any information conveyance vehicle, medium or methodology as particular applications of the system and process of the present invention require. Once the information 102 is received, the system 100 temporarily stores the information 104 (which has preferably been converted in the WellXML™ format) in tables or views internal to a server 106, such as a SAS warehouse administration server. A SAS warehouse administrator is a tool developed by SAS Institute, Inc. and may use the WellXML™ data definitions to generate or retrieve program files used to create a well repository. In one embodiment, the server 106 suitably converts the WellXML™ formatted data into components, such as SAS transformation components. Such components may include operational data components, such as Operational Data Definitions (ODD) which may be used as inputs to data stores. The ODD represents an archive of original operational data, which may be untransformed from its original legacy format. In one example, ODD components are not used with direct data warehouse querying because ODD components are not in a final format which is quality assured, or because they are too voluminous to be kept in an on-line relational database. More specifically, An example of an XML tagged document 410 using WellXML™ tags is shown in Referring again to After the server 106 determines the type of data provided in the WellXML™ data file, the server 106 then retrieves a metafile associated with the specific (or in some cases, general) type of data provided (step 306). A metafile may contain various instructions or rules which instruct a server on how to handle and/or manipulate data. In one embodiment of the system, metafiles are suitably created for each type of WellXML™ data received and are accessed as needed. Such metafiles may be stored with the server 106 or elsewhere, and accessed using common protocols and techniques. Upon obtaining the metafile associated with the document type, the server 106 then identifies those parameters in the WellXML™ data file which correspond to those specified in the metafile (step 308). Then the server 106 converts the WellXML™ data into components or data elements, such as ODD information formats, and sends the data to the appropriate data server 108 for storage (step 310). Additionally, in order to convert the WellXML™ data files 104 into the various ODD transformation components, the server 106 may also validate the information. In one embodiment, validation occurs for three aspects of the information: form, type, and logical. Form validation is the act of mapping the incoming data stream and trying to interpret it into a known data definition. As mentioned previously, the server 106 utilizes specific data maps (i.e., metafiles) to map the data. Such data maps are preferably WellXML™ documents that describe the structure of the Well Repository tables (i.e., the ODD tables) including, for example, table names, column names, column lengths, column valid values and validation rules. These tables are used to store well planning, daily drilling and other information (i.e., source data 102) in the data servers 108. For example, well planning and drilling report maps may be prepared by a drilling engineer for a specific basin and/or region. Such maps are suitably indexed and classified such that, based upon the information 104 received, the server 106 can determine from which other data servers a needed map is to be obtained as necessary. The server 106 may also perform Type validation, in one embodiment. Type validation is the act of determining whether the data elements are of the correct type. For example, based on the business rules utilized by a specific company (i.e., a client), the size of the drill bit can be specified in the map as a numeric property which is required for all valid drill bit records. During the parsing phase of the WellXML™ document, if the size of the drill bit is not provided an/or the provided size is not numeric, then the associated record fails validation and is preferably placed in an exception file for investigation. Additionally, the server 106 may also perform logical validation of the received data file 104. During theological validation phase, the server 106 checks the meaning of specific data fields and their inter-dependencies, to assess logical correctness. For example, a WellXML™ data file 104 containing information relating to a cementing job would verify that the parameters provided relate to cementing and not to some other process, for example, mudding. In one example, such validation is accomplished using look-up tables, matching routines and other filtering/searching tasks. Further, it is to be appreciated that server 106, as necessary, may also accomplish various additionally validations. Such validations may include, for example, authenticity (i.e., validating the source and/or communications links utilized to provide the information), currency (i.e., making sure only current and relevant information will be utilized by the system 100, for example, information provided by erroneous processes or reports may be deleted form the server 106), and other checks. As such, server 106 may accomplish any validations necessary and/or desired. Further, such validations may be accomplished solely by server 106 or by using routines, processes, results, and/or information provided by other servers and systems as necessary. Once the information 104 has been validated, the server 106 converts the information into the ODD format expected by the specific users of the information. In an oil and gas embodiment, such information is appropriately transformed into well repository information files saved as ODDs on the specified data server 108 or a generic data server 108 when one is not specified. Large organizations may desire to store their data on a server which is not accessible by other clients, whereas smaller organizations may utilize a common server in order to reduce operating costs. Embodiments of the present invention may support nay desired dedicated and/or shared server embodiment. In one embodiment, the validated and transformed data in ODDs are loaded into corresponding tables in the one or more servers 108, which in one example may be well repository detail data servers specific to each customer. Such loading is preferably accomplished using FTP or HTTP, both of which are well known in the art. Once the ODD data is loaded into data server 108, additional rules based processing may be accomplished using the web application server 110 and the stored ODD data. However, in order to know where and what type of information is contained in an ODD data file on the data server 108, the web application server 110 suitably utilizes any metafiles which describe how the WellXML™ information was converted into the ODD. Thus, the web application server 110 and server 106 may share the metafiles as necessary to process the WellXML™ and ODD data files. Upon identifying, via the appropriate metafile, how the ODD data is organized, the web application server 110 suitably accesses such ODD files and performs the desired processing specified by a client or automatically (for example, reports generated on a periodic basis). The ODD information may also be sent to data marts or a collection of databases which represent summarization of the information provided in a given set of ODD files, which may have been filtered by the customer. Mining may be accomplished by identifying patterns in the ODD files, such as patterns related to times to perform a given tasks, true vertical depth information, and other information. The web application server 110 also may create various output documents, as determined by the client, the system administrator and the particular application of the system. Such output documents preferably utilize, in whole or in part, the information supplied and converted by server 106 into the ODD components and saved on the data servers 108. Examples of such documents include: Configuration Documents
Regulatory Documents

Turning Japanese? A spiritual transformation through watercolor painting.
Could this mess morph into a sense of Self?
My recent three-day journey into watercolor painting and spirituality was, in a sense, quite transformative.
Disclaimer: My last experience with watercolor painting was in kindergarten. (The same year I was scolded for putting my safety scissors in my mouth. At least I wasn't the glue eater. Are boogers better than glue? Sigh.)
Anyways…painting? What was I thinking? Well, I wasn't, at least not about the painting. That was the least of my worries. The bit of breaking from my destructive and dangerously affixed routine? That one had my mind spinning. I'm not a traveler. I'm not a stuff-outside-my-tiny-safe-box-doer.
But my safe-box is crushing me.
Desperate for some spark of fire, of will for healing, I embarked on this personal retreat, leaving as a skinny, fading, hurt, and hopeless white girl and returned as a…pregnant submissive Asian woman.
I was guided and encouraged by facilitator Dr. John-Anthony Parente, who holds degrees in spirituality, theology, and art, and has worked as a professional artist and professor for over 30 years, in addition to being immersed in contemplative and monastic life.
As we viewed our wet-on-wet full-page color bleeds that we'd dried overnight, we were instructed to journal on what we saw. All I saw was a ridiculous happy face.
A happy face? Really? How artistic.
John saw a face too, but it took a gentle outline by him for me to see it, her, as well. Since I hated the platitude of my obvious vision, I went with John's. Was I dis-trusting my intuition by accepting this direction? Or was I allowing the grace and guidance offered by a greater force?
As I practiced edging and blending, my happy face morphed into her hairpiece, and her profile and robe took shape. I didn't feel connected to her, spiritually or mystically or emotionally or however I was supposed to be feeling about the image, but I painted on. I mean, I paid for the workshop; I might as well practice technique.
But it nagged me. This wasn't representing me. I didn't even see her to begin with. I'm not Asian, I could never get a hairpiece in my thin mop, and most absurdly I was working with this stupid stereotype of Asian women that kept creeping into my consciousness. Due to knowledge of Asian culture as deep as the media I've been exposed to (Madame Butterfly, Geisha stories, Tour of Duty, Miss Saigon…), I've held a ridiculous typecast of Asian women as submissive to men, which was my first reaction to developing her in my piece. Well crap, at a man's suggestion, I'd painted my soul as a symbol of subservience?
I slept on it, and thanks to a bit of coffee, a measure of meditation, and a dose of expert direction, I began to see the un-ego-filtered meaning of submissiveness.
Surrender. Yield. Let go. Trust.
This is why I came to a spiritual retreat. Not to paint, but to let go of my tight grip and trust…the flow, the process, God. The painting process had supported that deeper awareness without my control. Imagine that.
So I gave her an arm, holding her heart as she gazed to the horizon (which I was told I edged magnificently!) And I was finished with her. I had my meaning, my significance, my ME in the painting.
Or so I thought. The finishing touches on this piece of my heart came from community. Upon final viewing, it was suggested to me privately by three separate retreat participants that my woman appeared pregnant. Honestly, it was something in her shape that I'd noticed but would not acknowledge, for a number of reasons. But the imagery was clarified by others as way beyond bearing children, and offered a sense of hopefulness. Something is forming inside me, preparing to be birthed…something originating from this relinquishment of ego-controlled reign. Something supported by the practice of trust in the present moment.
Maybe that something today is simply this realization. Or maybe it's the somethings that will continue to rise from the horizon. I don't know, but I'm going to keep painting the present, edging the emergences as they enter consciousness, glazing through the flow, and bleeding new beginnings. Trusting the process, and submitting to what surfaces on the paper and in life…the good, the bad, and apparently, the cross-cultural.
Has artistic process sparked something in you?

Nutritional Support for Aging Skin
Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat by Life Extension provides nutritional support for aging skin, to complement topical products you may already use.
Ceramides are a kind of fat just under the first layer of your skin that plays a central role in preserving healthy-looking skin. They are a critical lipid component of your skin's membrane, helping protect it from the elements and locking in moisture.
In fact, ceramides comprise 35%-40% of the binding matrix that maintains moisture balance and protects the skin's surface.
They are also a barrier to germs and other substances that would otherwise enter your blood stream. Your skin may get extremely itchy and sore if you do not have sufficient ceramides in your body.
The problem is that your body's ceramides production declines with age.
The good news is that the ceramides your young skin naturally produces to maintain a supple appearance are identical to those found in wheat. This is why wheat-derived oils have traditionally been used as natural moisturizers.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to get sufficient ceramides from topically-applied wheat germ oil to have a long-term effect on your skin's appearance.
And they may not be consumed in sufficient concentration in your diet.
This is where this formula may help. It brings together skin-nourishing oils in an oral formula with Lipowheat, a proprietary phytoceramide mix that supports aging skin, complement topical products you may already be using.
In one study, after three months of ingesting 200 mg a day of Lipowheat, participants saw a dramatic improvement in the look and feel of their skin, which had been dry and flaky.
Life Extension states this product is Non-GMO.

Thee best buy I went to didn't have a limit. The guy in front of me bought one of each size. When I heard him say it I said, "someone is probably using eBay" but he didn't say anything back.
In hindsight I wish I had done the same and put them up for sale too. Some people actually flew over from Europe to buy one! At the end of the day, it's a free market. People are more than capable of waiting and paying retail. If they want to pay a premium, that's their decision. Where I was there was no wait or loss of supply AFAIK so what the guy did didn't keep anyone else anxiously waiting om getting one.

I don't know about the rest of the country but here where I live (Tampa FL) They didn't sell out at Apple Store and a friend mine told me Bestbuy still had some in stock last night too. Maybe all the hype has people thinking it's sold out, Just a simple trip to the Apple Store or Bestbuy and problem solved.

St. Charles Parish tops country in innovative education
Brooke Falgout and Bailey Flores paint during the a past Arts Awareness Festival. |
The school district was awarded the 20th annual Magna Award grand prize for schools with student populations between 5,000 and 20,000.
The school district's award entry consisted of information on the Arts Awareness Festival, which is entering its sixth year. The festival is held every spring and allows each public school in the parish to display their arts programs in music, theater, art and dance. Using Jazz Fest as a model, the festival features multiple stages that operate simultaneously.
Rick Treuting, administrator of Student Services and the Arts, came up with the idea for the festival after former Superintendent Rodney Lafon approached him about a proposed performing arts facility for the parish.
"(Lafon) initiated the whole idea of building a performance arts center for the parish that all of our programs could use. My contribution was to get the people to understand how much they enjoy and appreciate arts," he said.
Although a centralized performing arts venue has not yet been founded in the parish, Treuting says the popularity of the festival has made it more likely that voters would fund such a building.
"I do know the School Board discussed it in one of their last retreats. I saw it on their agenda that they are continuing to discuss it," he said. "Hopefully this Magna Award will put the spotlight on them and tell them it is time to go."
Treuting said the festival has become more popular each year.
"More and more of our teachers have brought out performing artists to be involved in the festival," he said.
One of the aspects of the festival that sets it apart from other art shows is that it allows for a number of different arts to be on display and be performed at the same time.
Treuting said that bringing together the divergent art forms into one festival allows student art that would normally only be seen by parents to be exposed to a wider audience.
"You can see the visual art and this other room where the kids from Hurst are presenting 'Annie,' or go outside and see the Destrehan High School winter guard performing," he said. "It is a free flow, not a formal concert."
Now Treuting said he hopes other schools will use the Arts Awareness Festival at St. Charles Parish Public Schools as a model on which they will base similar gatherings of their own.
"The thing that means the most to the National School Board Association is that it is something that can be replicated. That makes me awfully excited that a school in Minnesota or wherever may say, 'lets energize our student artists and go above and beyond the spring concert,'" he said.
In fact, he is already assembling materials to send to any school district that may ask for help in setting up their own festival.
"One of the things we are getting ready for is a template that we follow so when we get a call from other districts we can send them our blueprint," he said.
The school district will receive a $5,000 grant for the award from Magna Award sponsor Sodexo.
The 6th annual Arts Awareness Festival will be held this year on Saturday, March 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Professional Learning Center located at 12727 U.S. 90 in Luling.

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
The recognition of what is impure and false in us ought to lead us to confess our sins. A few years ago an article entitled "Pick-and-Choose Christianity" appeared in a ma jor national magazine. This article summarized the results of a three-year study of Christians of all denominations in a midwestern state, pointing out that most church members "pick and choose" which of the teachings of Christianity they will accept and which they will leave behind. One of the least popular teachings was that regarding sin. The article stated,
What many have left behind is a pervasive sense of sin. Although 98% said they believe in personal sin, only 57% accepted the traditional notion that all people are sinful and fully one-third allowed that they "make many mistakes but are not sinful themselves." Said one typical respondent: "The day I die, I should only have to look up at my Maker and say, `Take me.' Not `Forgive me.' "
No doubt there are many reasons for the loss of a consciousness of sin, but the phenomenon is scarcely new or endemic to the United States in the twentieth century. First John reflects a similar situation, for appar ently some people in the church were claiming to be without sin. How could such a claim have arisen? It seems that some people had taken the belief that God is light and therefore irrevocably set against darkness and drawn an extreme conclusion: If God is indeed light—and here they would agree with the Elder—it follows that those who are God's children (3:1-2) are children of light and, hence, are pure and righteous, reflecting the character of God. They share God's state of purity. After all, they were "born of God" (2:29; 3:9). What more did they need? As children of God, they had entered into a state that Christians have and cannot lose and that therefore required nothing further of them.
Their claims to sinlessness were strikingly similar to—and probably no less sincere than—those of that American Christian who said, "The day I die, I should only have to look up at my Maker and say, `Take me.' Not `Forgive me.' " No one, whether in the first or twentieth century, relishes the thought of labeling one's actions as "sin." Today, in fact, we study the psychology of human actions so that we may better understand their causes and so help to change destructive behaviors. But failure to act with love and justice toward others is still sinful, even if it can be ac counted for by our upbringing, some event in our past or an unhappy relationship or experience. However much we can provide explanations or rationalizations for sin, they do not excuse it.
The author answers his opponents' claim to be sinless by asserting that they are self-deceived. They are not merely confused, but deceived by the greatest lie of all, the lie of the antichrist who opposes Jesus (com pare 4:6; 2 Jn 7). Jesus' death would have been pointless were their claims to be sinless true, since his death forgives and purifies believers from their sin and unrighteousness. Although sin appears to put one into darkness, it is actually the claim to be without sin that does so. Confession of sin comes from the truth; denial of sin comes from error. In fact, the very claim to be sinless shows that a lie, and not the truth, is at work within those who make it (compare 1:10, his word has no place in our lives). God's truth is not served if we simply cover up the truth about ourselves. God's truth must be manifested in an accurate understanding of God and of ourselves.
Having sent Jesus to cleanse us from sin (v. 7), God remains "faithful and righteous" (NASB; faithful and just, NIV) and forgives those who acknowledge their sin. We might have expected to read that God forgives out of love or mercy and punishes due to justice. But John calls on the Old Testament concept of God's steadfastness to the covenant that has been established by using familiar descriptions of God as one who does what is faithful and just (compare Deut 32:4; Jer 42:5). Despite our unrighteousness (adikia), God is righteous (dikaios) and sends one to us who is also righteous (2:1). By depending upon the work of Jesus, who is righteous, we are able to continue to walk in fellowship with one who is light.

I do occasionally find good deals at GigaSports and Royal Sporting House (back when they carried tennis stuff) - but most things are higher than US list prices. And some RF stuff doesn't make it there - or they just one of every size. And as @syke points out, you have to be careful - try everything on - sizes are often different.
Spotted a shop in Tin Hau last trip but didn't have time to go in.
@syke: yes, courts (and pros to hit with) aren't cheap - land is scarce.
In general the shoe prices are a little lower than TW. Partly because there is no 6 mo replacement on any of the shoes. That works out great to me since I never wear out a pair of shoes in 6 months. Same thing for Nike/Adidas tennis clothing, they are lower than the TW prices and no taxes on everything. The lower end stuff may be closer in prices but I have not really look into them closely.
The problem is less stores are carrying tennis gear in the past 2 yrs. You will need to visit bigger stores in certain locations for that.
Selection is also a problem. There are less colors to choose from unless it is a very popular model. I don't really blame them because some tennis shoes are just too stiff to be a everyday causal / fashion shoe. And they need the extra rack space to put more basketball shoes. The new Lebran shoes are like over $200, no discounts, and still sell pretty well from what I've heard.

Dr. S: Thanks for posting an interesting link. I like Brian Greene because he makes something complicated (physics) more understandable.
Contemplating things that are more idea than fact, like String Theory, other dimensions or the Multi-verse requires a suspension of belief in what is tangible--a willingness to accept that forces like 'dark energy' permeate space and are associated with inconceivable things like repulsive gravity.
I like thinking about this , but until physics can explain what 'fuel' ignited the big bang, people will believe in god. There is a place for belief in the unseen whether it be tiny strings or a divine creator--maybe they are part of the same.
Acknowledging what we don't know and being humble in the presence of nature's intricacy should keep humans asking these important questions. It is when we don't question that problems arise.

I agree, DD. Although it's just as incumbent upon believers to explain what "fueled" the creation of god. Either way, you have to accept that something pretty complicated exists without "creation." Each "side" has to admit unknowing in that regard, so I go with knowing/seeking to know the discoverable.

On the one hand, it's great that people get to hear about these sorts of ideas, but on the other he's trying to convince people of things that are really, really remote possibilities, and that kinda gets my goat, having studied this stuff.
For example, yes, sooner or later galaxies would go dark because they would be receding at the speed of light, but by that point the stars will have gone out anyway.
So this seems to be sci-fi masquerading as science, but I might be overly sensitive about this. What do you think? How long do you think it's reasonable for someone like Brian Greene to go on advocating untestable theories without providing some objective rubric by which it can be judged? - June 4, 2012 at 12:41 PM
- Sid Schwab said...
Fair question, Timmyson, which I don't know how to answer, because I can't really judge the man's credibility. It's just that, in these depressing times, it's nice to listen to someone thinking beyond our miserable little existence; or, more particularly, our (meaning the US's) miserable politics.
