System and method for providing supplemental functionalities to a computer program via an ontology instance

摘要

Supplemental functionalities may be provided for an executable program via an ontology instance. In some embodiments, a computer program (e.g., an executable program or other computer program) associated with an ontology may be caused to be run. The ontology may include information indicating attributes for a set of applications. An instance of the ontology may be obtained, which may correspond to an application of the set of applications. Based on the ontology instance, supplemental information may be generated for the computer program. The supplemental information may be related to one or more functionalities of the application to be added to the executable program. The supplemental information may be provided as input to the computer program. The supplemental information, at least in part, may cause the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the executable program.

主权项

1. A method of providing supplemental functionalities to an executable program via an ontology instance, the method comprising:
causing, by a computer system, an executable program to be run; obtaining, by a computer system, a general ontology and a domain-specific ontology, wherein the domain-specific ontology is associated with a domain of interest, and the executable program is configured to use at least a portion of the general ontology to interpret the domain-specific ontology; obtaining, by a computer system, an instance of the general ontology, wherein the general ontology instance is based on the domain-specific ontology and corresponds to an application associated with the domain of interest; extracting, by a computer system, class information from the general ontology; generating, by a computer system, based on the general ontology instance, supplemental information for the executable program, wherein the supplemental information is related to one or more functionalities of the application to be added to the executable program; generating, by a computer system, a programming interface based on the class information, wherein the programming interface allows the executable program to access the supplemental information; and providing, by a computer system, the supplemental information as input to the executable program, wherein the supplemental information, at least in part, causes the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the executable program without recompiling the entire executable program.
