Secure and Flexible Inter-Program Communication

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for providing secure and flexible inter-program communication includes storing an ontology in a first data store, the ontology includes a plurality of business semantics for an application, a plurality of rules for storing data in a database, and a plurality of rules for displaying the data in a browser. The method further includes receiving a new data type to add to the database and updating the ontology to describe the new data type. Updating the ontology includes updating the plurality of rules for storing the new data type in the database and updating the plurality of rules for displaying the new data type in the browser. In response to updating the ontology, generating a new column for the new data type in the database and communicating the new data type for presentation in the browser.

1. An apparatus for providing secure and flexible inter-program communication, comprising:
a data store configured to store an ontology, the ontology comprising:
a plurality of business semantics for an application;a plurality of rules for storing data in a database; anda plurality of rules for displaying the data in a browser; an interface communicatively coupled to the data store, the interface configured to receive data to add to the database; a processor communicatively coupled to the data store and the interface, the processor configured to update the ontology to describe the new data, wherein updating the ontology comprises:
updating the plurality of rules for storing the new data in the database; andupdating the plurality of rules for displaying the new data in the browser; in response to updating the ontology, the processor is further configured to:
generate a new column for the new data in the database; andcommunicate the new data for display in the browser.
