Abstract:
1. A method of progressively transmitting data via a telecommunications network by processing a tree data structure organized into interconnected elements, the method comprising: defining processing units as subsets of interconnected elements of said tree data structure by way of properties, specifying for each subset an anchor-element, wherein said anchor-element is an interconnected element of said subset, and applying to each of the specified anchor-elements an attachment mode property, by inheritance from a parent element or by directly defining an attribute of the attachment mode property of the specified anchor-element, by which the elements of each subset are linked to the respective specified anchor-element, each processing unit of said tree data structure being defined by one and only one specified anchor-element, wherein an identifier of a specified anchor-element of a particular processing unit and the applied attachment mode property of the specified anchor-element select all of the elements of the particular processing unit; assigning each defined processing unit a time of processing, which specifies a relative or absolute time of day at which the data of the associated processing unit is to be used by an entity to which said data is addressed, by way of properties defining said time of processing; assigning, to said interconnected elements of said tree data structure, said properties defining said processing units and their associated time of processing by applying attributes to said elements, wherein the attachment mode properties comprise: transmitting the processing units to the entity to which said data is addressed via the telecommunications network.
