TD/TDX universal data presentation system and method

A method for presenting data within a computing environment including an application program interface, said method comprising the steps of:

• unpacking a packed tagged data by converting the packed tagged data from a binary representation into a tagged data;
• creating a tagged data object for storing the tagged data;
• and
• extracting a data element from the tagged data.

A method for presenting data within a computing environment of the type having an application program interface prescribed by a data conversion and a wire formatting specification, said method comprising the steps of:

• creating a tagged data object, wherein the tagged data object comprises a universal data container that is platform independent, hardware architecture independent and language independent, said tagged data object to provide broad access to manipulation and aggregation of a structured data and an unstructured data;
• encapsulating a data element into the tagged data object to provide a tagged data, wherein said tagged data includes a corresponding tag id and said data element;
• packing the tagged data to provide a tagged data transmission by converting the tagged data into a binary representation of the tagged data;
• transmitting the tagged data transmission;
• unpacking the tagged data transmission by converting the tagged data transmission from the binary representation into the tagged data;
• and
• extracting the data element from the tagged data.
