  • Patent number: 9137206
    Abstract: An ordered sequence of two or more facet provider objects are associated and each is configured to select successive subsets of data in a registry via a database upon a user request to create and configure a faceted selection. Upon a user selection of a save feature, each associated facet provider object is serialized in the ordered sequence, and each serialization is collected into an ordered list of serializations and saved. The serialization of each facet provider object is performed by one of the respective facet provider object and a facet provider object of a same type as the respective facet provider object. A selection statement is constructed from the associated facet provider objects in the ordered sequence. A difference between the constructed selection statement and an actual selection statement is calculated and the selection statement difference is appended to the saved ordered list of serializations.
