Method and system of adapting a data model to a user interface component

摘要

A display of a source data model on a user interface component being associated with a target data model is provided. The source data model and the target data model comprise a collection of data types (class/object), each including a set of name and type attributes. For each source data type of the source data model, a matching target data type is determined among said target data types in the target data model. Said source data type is linked to said matching target data type. A display of said source data model using said link between a source data type and a target data type.

1. A method, wherein the method comprises:
for a source data type of a source data model and a target data type of a target data model,
selecting, using a processor of a computer, a first set of target attributes that represent attributes used by a user interface component for generation of a display and a second set of target attributes that are auxiliary attributes;determining a score value for each attribute pair formed by a target attribute in the first set of target attributes and a source attribute in source attributes of the source data type based on a set of matching rules;determining an auxiliary attribute score associated with the second set of target attributes;for each of the target attributes in the first set of target attributes,
determining a combination score by summing each score value for that target attribute and each of the source attributes; andadding the auxiliary score to the combination score; andidentifying a matching target data type for the source data type based on a highest combination score.
