A method of managing online communities within an online community management system can include declaratively specifying a taxonomy of online community types, declaratively specifying a plurality of roles for members of online communities, and declaratively specifying a security policy that associates permissions with roles and online community types. A plurality of online community profiles can be maintained. Each online community profile can represent an online community, specify an online community type from the taxonomy, and specify a list of members of that online community as well as an associated role for each member. Access can be provided to a selected online community according to the online community type of the selected online community, a role within the selected online community that is associated with a user attempting to access the selected online community, and the security policy.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying XForms in an enterprise environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API can include generating a data graph for an external data model for a forms based application and transforming the data graph into a DOM representation of the data graph. Value changes for fields of a form in the forms based application can be applied to nodes of the DOM representation and mutations in the nodes of the DOM representation can be synchronized to corresponding nodes in the data graph.

A system and method are provided for managing a workflow for a document. An electronic form is created for receiving data pertaining to a workflow. A content integration template locates and exposes data fields in the electronic form. A document workflow defines states of the document, transitions between states, and actions for each state.

A polymeric composition which has a dielectric constant K' greater than 4 at 20. degree. C. which varies little with temperature is made from a polymer or mixture of polymers and a ceramic or a mixture of ceramics, where the polymer or mixture of polymers has a dielectric constant K' in the range of about 1. 5 to about 3. 5 and a temperature coefficient of dielectric constant TCK' that is negative and is between 0 and about -300 ppm/degree C. ; and the ceramic includes a first ceramic, which may be one ceramic or a mixture of ceramics, each having a dielectric constant in the range of about 15 to about 200 and a TCK' that is positive and is between zero and about 3000 ppm/degree C. ; and an optional second ceramic, which may be one ceramic or a mixture of ceramics, each having a dielectric constant in the range from about 3 up to about 15 and a TCK' that is positive and is between zero and about 300 ppm/degree C.

Processes for recovering 4,4'-dimethyl bibenzoate (DMBB) from byproduct streams of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) production are disclosed. The byproduct streams are treated to produce an overhead stream which includes DMBB. In one aspect of the invention, the overhead product stream is added to an organic solvent under conditions sufficient to rapidly form a suspension of crystallized DMBB. In another aspect of the invention, the overhead is dissolved in an appropriate organic solvent and cooled to form a suspension of DMBB crystals in the solvent. A portion of the suspension is removed, and the remaining portion of the suspension centrifuged to recover DMBB crystals. In still another aspect of the invention, the overhead stream is treated with an organic solvent to form a slurry of DMBB crystals, and the resultant slurry thermally treated to increase the concentration of DMBB crystals therein while also solubilizing any organic contaminants.
