CONTEXT-SPECIFIC VIEW OF A HIERARCHICAL DATA STRUCTURE

摘要

Dynamic ontological working sets support the automatic identification of a context-specific working set (or a visualization of a tree in a hierarchical data structure) that displays those tree nodes that are most relevant to an identified context. Pre-defined rules are used to determine a level of relevance to be applied when identifying the context-specific working set. Context-specific working sets may be displayed automatically when identified.

1. A computer system comprising:
a processor set; and a computer readable storage medium; wherein: the processor set is structured, located, connected, and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium; and the program instructions include:
first program instructions programmed to identify, from a hierarchical data structure representing a set of software configuration management (SCM) tools for a selected software program, a set of contextual objects;second program instructions programmed to determine, from the hierarchical data structure, an internodal relationship between two contextual objects of the set of contextual objects;third program instructions programmed to store relationship data of the internodal relationship as a set of triples in a database, a first triple associating a first node within the hierarchical data structure with one of the two contextual objects and with the internodal relationship, a second triple associating a second node within the hierarchical data structure with another of the two contextual objects and with the internodal relationship;fourth program instructions programmed to display the set of contextual objects for user-selection of individual contextual objects within the set of contextual objects;fifth program instructions programmed to receive a user-context indicator responsive to a user-selection of the one of the two contextual objects from the displayed set of contextual objects, the user-context indicator corresponding to the one of the two contextual objects, the user-context indicator being creation of a third contextual object;sixth program instructions programmed to determine a subset of the hierarchical data structure corresponding to the user-context indicator; andseventh program instructions programmed to display the subset of the hierarchical data structure in a tree view without human intervention;wherein:the set of contextual objects are a first program view and a first patch stream, the first patch stream corresponds to the first programming view.
