Service for standardization of resource metadata models via social networking—arriving at an agreed upon (standard) resource meta-model via social consensus

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for generating standardized models for a resource via social computing. The disclosed systems and methods generate standardized models for resources via social computing and include receiving a request for the registration of a resource from a first client; collecting data defining at least one property of the resource to be registered and registering the resource with a server having a plurality of clients. The method also includes receiving subsequent request for the registration of a substantially similar resource from a second client; providing the subsequent client with earlier collected data from other clients defining the properties of the existing resource, and receiving data chosen by the subsequent client defining the properties of the new substantially similar resource. The method further includes weighting the collected data defining at least one property of the resource based on the frequency of selection of the data to define at least one of the property of the resource by clients of the server registering a substantially similar resource and designating a consensus, of the plurality of clients, of the defining properties of the substantially similar resources as the defining properties for a synthetic standard format model for the resource and substantially similar resources based on the weighted data.
