摘要： Establishing relationships between one or more entities of a first application and one or more entities of a second application using metadata. At least one entity of the second application is identified for establishing a relationship with at least one entity of the first application. Metadata from the second application is received at the first application. The metadata includes information associated with the identified entity of the second application. An expression is generated, based on the metadata, specifying a relationship between the entity of the first application with the identified entity of the second application.

摘要： Visual map items may each be constructed and placed in position using logic defined by a map view component corresponding to each visual item, where that logic may depend on one or more values populated into parameter(s) of the map view component. Some of those parameter values may correspond to known map model parameter values. Others, however, may have been solved for using a model that defines analytical relationships between the map model parameters. In one embodiment, which of the map model parameters are input variable, and which are output model variables, may not be predetermined. Accordingly, a solver might be prepared for multiple solve operation paths even using a single model. The map view composition process may be entirely data-driven, and may include a mechanism for canonicalizing input data, and binding canonicalized input data to the model parameters.

摘要： Visual interaction with an analytics-driven model view composition application. The application includes a data-model binding component that binds input data to model parameters, an analytics solver component that solves for remaining unknown model parameters, and a view composition component that generates a view composition using the model parameters. In one visual interaction, various solutions of the model are provided in alternative views of various view compositions in a single integrated composition. In another interaction, regardless of whether there are multiple view compositions illustrated in a single integrated view, there might be visual prompts in the view composition that suggest an adjustment to make that might move the value of a particular model parameter in a desired direction.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products of user-interface architecture for manipulating business models. Embodiments of the invention facilitate efficient generation and extension of business related software applications, including commingled data-centric applications that represent both data elements and business logic in metadata. Modules of the user-interface architecture permit users to enter commands through common metaphors and wizards that abstract underlying (and more complex) modeling commands and data formats from users. The user-interface architecture can automatically search for existing models to provide and extend business related functionality.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for processing data-centric business models. An execution engine accesses a commingled data-centric application model that includes a data model for a data store and a business logic model for interacting with data entities contained in the data store. The execution engine receives an event related to the data store and identifies an involved data entity corresponding to the received event. The execution engine identifies a business logic rule indicated as affecting the involved data entity. The execution engine establishes a context for evaluating the identified business logic rule. The execution engine evaluates the conditions of the business logic rule in accordance with the established context. The execution engine executes any appropriate actions indicated in the business logic rule as a result of the conditions of the business logic rule being satisfied.

摘要： Information, or data, among applications in multiple diverse computer systems is represented in a uniform way allowing the data to be easily manipulated, navigated and modified. Each piece of information is stored as a uniquely identifiable object instance of one of multiple uniquely identifiable object classes that are themselves instances of a Root class. Two object instances can be linked by a uniquely identifiable two-way navigable link of a particular links class. Each link of a links class is constrained to linking object instances of either one or two different object classes. Each link also has a corresponding object instance such that the object class of the corresponding object instance is the links class, and the unique identifier of the object instance is the same in value as the unique identifier of the link. In the preferred embodiment, all object instances are held in a single relational table with only three columns, while all the links are held in a second relational table with only two columns. The data that is displayed when an object instance is selected is held in a separate details table for each object class, with the necessary relational join between a details table and the object instance table being efficient due to a one to one relationship involved in the join. The only other data that is normally involved or required to be searched during navigation is held in a data dictionary that is much smaller in size than the other data in the system of this invention. A graphical user interface is provided that presents the data as a hierarchical tree structure based on a primary object. Any object may be selected as the primary object. Circular relationships are supported and displayed. Object and link classes may be excluded from the display as desired.

摘要： The subject disclosure is directed towards a web service that maintains a set of models used to generate plans, such as vacation plans, in which the set of models includes models that are authored by crowd contributors via the service. The models include rules, constraints and/or equations, and may be text based and declarative such that any author can edit an existing model or combination of existing models into a new model. Users can access the models to generate a plan according to user parameters, view a presentation of that plan, and interact to provide new parameters to the model and/or with objects in the plan to modify the plan and view a presentation of the modified plan.

摘要： A data marketplace infrastructure allows a data source company or a third party to automate generation of one or more applications in association a data feed. In contrast to custom, manual development of applications, the data marketplace infrastructure constructs applications that suggest applicability to the data feed. Factors suggesting applicability include without limitation similarity of data structures and similarity of subject matter. Based on an applicability determination, patterns of historical visual usage and patterns of historical business logic usage may be used to identify expressions specifying the visuals and business logic that may be copied to and used in a new application in association with the data feed. Furthermore, previewers can provide feedback to help tune which automatically generated applications are maintained in association with the data feed and which are discarded or altered in some way.
