Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program code for performing a human resource operation using a context-independent conversational flow. The computer system receives an intended human resource operation from an application executing on a user device, identifies the context-independent conversational flow for performing an intended human resource operation, and calls a structured data object according to the context-independent conversational flow. The computer system interprets the structured data object to produce a business rule output, and generates a context-independent response from the business rule output. The computer system transforms the context-independent response according to a user context to produce a context-specific response, and forwards the context-specific response to a user device for display within a conversational user interface of an application.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product digitally manipulate a human resources workflow on a mobile device. A selection of a human resources operation is received from a mobile application executing on the mobile device; a business rule corresponding to the human resources operation is identified. The business rule comprises a plurality of linked metadata objects forming a syntax tree. The plurality of linked metadata objects is interpreted to implement the business rule, Interpreting comprises sending a first set of chat messages that request input for the plurality of linked metadata objects, and receiving a second set of chat messages that provide the requested input. The human resources operation is performed according to the business rule, generating a workflow stage notification, and publishing the workflow stage notification to a set of mobile devices for display on a timeline of the mobile application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus model multiple relationship dimensions among a set of entities is presented. A computer system identifies a configuration for the structure. The configuration comprises metadata about supported relationship aspects for the set of entities within a structure context. The computer system identifies aspects for an entity according to the structure context. The entity aspects comprise metadata about relationships for the entity within the structure context. The computer system compares the entity aspects to the configuration for the structure to determine a relationship of the entity to the set of entities. The computer system dynamically attaches the entity to the set of entities according to the determined relationship to form the structure.
