Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a method of processing non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities using a computing device is disclosed. For example, a computing device transforms between at least first and at least second non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities respectively representing at least a first and at least a second expression. The represented expressions have a common view for non-common expression types of the represented expressions and have a non-common view for common expression types of the represented expressions. The represented expressions include at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree or a symbol string.

Claims (34)

1. A method of processing non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities using a computing device comprising:

transforming via said computing device between at least first and at least second non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities respectively representing at least a first and at least a second expression, said represented expressions having a common view for non-common expression types of said represented expressions and having a non-common view for common expression types of said represented expressions, said represented expressions comprising at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree or a symbol string.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein for non-common expression types said represented expression that comprises a symbol string includes an ASCII symbol string that comprises one or more numerals.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first represented expression comprises a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree and said second represented expression comprises a symbol string.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first represented expression comprises a symbol string and said second represented expression comprises a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree.

5. The method of claim 1 , and further comprising, prior to said transforming, employing operations with respect to said first represented expression.

6. The method of claim 5 , and further comprising, prior to said transforming, employing operations with respect to said second represented expression.

7. The method of claim 1 , and further comprising, subsequent to said transforming, employing operations with respect to said first represented expression.

8. The method of claim 7 , and further comprising, subsequent to said transforming, employing operations with respect to said second represented expression.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first represented expression comprises an ASCII symbol string comprising one or more numerals and said second represented expression comprises a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree.

10. The method of claim of claim 1 , wherein said non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities are stored within a database.

11. An article comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon to, said instructions being executable by a computing device to:

transform between at least first and at least second non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities respectively representing at least a first and at least a second expression, said represented expressions to have a common view for non-common expression types of said represented expressions and to have a non-common view for common expression types of said represented expressions, said represented expressions to comprise at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree or a symbol string.

12. The article of claim 11 , wherein for non-common expression types said represented expression that is to comprise a symbol string includes an ASCII symbol string that is to comprise one or more numerals.

13. The article of claim 11 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree and said second represented expression to comprise a symbol string.

14. The article of claim 11 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise a symbol string and said second represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree.

15. The article of claim 11 , wherein said storage medium further comprises instructions stored thereon to employ operations with respect to said first represented expression prior to said transformation.

16. The article of claim 15 , wherein said storage medium further comprises instructions stored thereon to employ operations with respect to said second represented expression prior to said transformation.

17. The article of claim 11 , wherein said storage medium further comprises instructions stored thereon to employ operations with respect to said first represented expression subsequent to said transformation.

18. The article of claim 11 , wherein said storage medium further comprises instructions stored thereon to employ operations with respect to said second represented expression subsequent to said transformation.

19. The article of claim 11 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise an ASCII symbol string to comprise one or more numerals and said second represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree and/or a symbol string.

20. The article of claim of claim 11 , wherein said non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities are to be stored within a database.

21. An apparatus comprising: a computing device, the computing device to:

transform between at least first and at least second non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities respectively representing at least a first and at least a second expression, said represented expressions to have a common view for non-common expression types of said represented expressions and to have a non-common view for common expression types of said represented expressions, said represented expressions to comprise at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree or a symbol string.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein for non-common expression types said represented expression that is to comprise a symbol string includes an ASCII symbol string that is to comprise one or more numerals.

23. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree and said second represented expression to comprise a symbol string.

24. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise a symbol string and said second represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree.

25. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said computing device to employ operations with respect to said first represented expression prior to said transformation.

26. The apparatus of claim 25 , wherein said computing device to employ operations with respect to said second represented expression prior to said transformation.

27. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said computing device to employ operations with respect to said first represented expression subsequent to said transformation.

28. The apparatus of claim 27 , wherein said computing device to employ operations with respect to said second represented expression subsequent to said transformation.

29. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said first represented expression to comprise an ASCII symbol string to comprise one or more numerals and said second represented expression to comprise a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree.

30. The apparatus of claim of claim 21 , wherein said non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities are to be stored within a database.
