METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING FACETED DATA

摘要

A method, system and computer-readable medium for performing hybrid processing of prescribed and dynamically defined attributes for one or more entity instances is provided in one or more implementations of the present invention. The inventive architecture of the present invention including a data structure having a dynamic object abstraction layer configured to: provide for storage and retrieval of facet data independent of one or more prescribed database structures and proprietary object definitions; provide facet attributes in an application object model; provide for defining a number of fixed fields for one or more entities; and, provide for defining and storing one or more dynamic fields for each instance of the one or more entities. The present invention further provides for an application object model being independent of application storage.

1. A system for processing of facet data, wherein the system comprises a processor, a memory device coupled to the processor, a database coupled to the memory device, wherein the database includes a data structure for storing and retrieving the facet data, and a module coupled to the memory device which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to provide a software platform, wherein the software platform includes:
a services layer for providing services that interact with the facet data; an application persistence abstraction layer for insulating the services from business objects associated with the facet data; a storage persistence abstraction layer for insulating the module from the data structure; and a persistence mechanism for linking the module to the data structure.
