摘要： Techniques are described for facilitating automated validation of results of performance of tasks. In some situations, task requesters may specify various automated validation criteria for tasks that they submit, and those specified validation criteria may automatically be used to determine whether results of performance of those tasks by task performers are validated. To facilitate such automated validation, predefined types of validation criteria may be provided that a user may select and/or configure. The outcome of automated validation of results may be used in various ways, such as to indicate when results have been validated and/or have not been validated, to determine whether to provide results to a task requester (e.g., if results are not provided unless they have been validated, or if results that fail validation are corrected or replaced with results that pass validation) and/or to compensate task performers for providing the results.

摘要： Techniques are described for facilitating interactions between task requesters who have tasks available to be performed and task performer users who are available to perform tasks, such as interactions that enable improvement of unsatisfactory task performance results from human task performer users. In some situations, after a task performer user has generated initial results from performance of a task supplied by a task requester, the task requester indicates that the initial results are only partially satisfactory (e.g., only partially satisfy one or more criteria for the task performance results), and may result in only a partial payment rather than a full payment amount associated with fully satisfactory performance of the task. The task requester may also supply information to provide one or more opportunities to the task performer user to supply additional improved supplemental results (e.g., so as to receive the full payment amount).

摘要： Systems and methods for changing items of a computer file can include a storage medium, and an application programmed to create a file including a first item and a second item, the application storing the file on the storage medium, and the first item including padding. The system can also include an input/output module associated with the application, the input/output module being programmed to use at least a portion of the padding of the first item to accommodate a change in a size of the first item. A method can include providing a file including at least a first item and a second item, the first item including padding, changing the first item, and using at least a portion of the padding of the first item to accommodate a change in a size of the first item.

摘要： Systems and methods for changing items of a computer file, such as an archive file, can include an application programmed to create a file including a first item and a second item, the application storing the file on a storage medium. Systems can also include an input/output module associated with the application, the input/output module retiring the first item upon a change to the first item resulting in an increase or a decrease in a size of the first item. Upon retiring the first item, the input/output module can write a third item at an end of the file, the third item including the change to the first item. Methods can include retiring the first item upon a change to the first item, and writing a third item after the second item, the third item including the change to the first item.

摘要： A relationship data structure associated with a source resource enables methods to discover and describe relationships between the source resource and a plurality of target resources. The relationships are stored in a format independent of the encoding of the source resource. Each relationship between the source resource and the plurality of target resources is stored in a content-neutral format, and the relationship data structure stores, a location of each target resource, a type of relationship with each target resource and an identifier to uniquely identify each relationship between the source resource and each target resource. Accordingly, the relationship data structure allows a decoder to directly discover the relationships between the source resource and the plurality of target resources without decoding the source resource or target resources.
