Patent number: 10650387Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, method and computer program product for a registry, such as a UDDI registry, to restrict access to business entity definitions contained in the registry according to permission details associated with the business service definition. A business entity definition may comprise a plurality of information elements. Permission details, which define users or groups of users with permission to access the information element, are then associated with one or more of these information elements. When a user request is received to access a business entity definition access is restricted to only those information elements for which the user has the required permission.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: John Colgrave

Patent number: 10296657Abstract: This invention relates to query management. A query management method includes receiving a database query, generating an abstract syntax tree representation of the database path query into a set of java objects, and processing the abstract syntax tree representation of the database path query. The method further includes determining a selector upon processing the abstract syntax tree representation of the database path query and deriving a SELECT clause from the selector clause, where the SELECT clause indicates a portion of an expression from an XMeta Query Language (XMQL) query. The method yet further includes appending a FROM clause to the expression for the XMQL query, appending a WHERE clause to the expression for the XMQL query, and executing the expression for the XMQL query including the appended FROM clause and also the appended WHERE clause to access objects in an object repository.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Colgrave, Manfred Oevers, Samuel Jonathan Smith

Patent number: 9009181Abstract: This invention relates to a service registry and repository system, method and computer program product for accessing objects in an object repository. A method of managing an object database for objects comprising: receiving a database XPATH query; translating the database path query into an object query; and querying the object database using the object query. The translating comprises: breaking the path query into nodes; examining each node to identify objects for selection and objects from which selection is made; consolidating objects for selection from each node; consolidating objects from which selection is made; and forming the object query from a SELECT clause made up of the consolidated objects for selection from each node and from a FROM clause made up of the consolidated objects from which selection is made.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel Jonathan Smith, John Colgrave, Manfred Oevers

Patent number: 8561010Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and/or computer program product approve software objects for deployment. A change in a lifecycle state of a software object is detected in a governance service registry, resulting in the implementation of a governance lifecycle process for the software object by transmitting an approval process input to a governance approval process engine. In response to the governance approval process engine approving the software object for deployment, the first object is automatically deployed to a production service registry.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Colgrave, Devaprasad K. Nadgir

Patent number: 8135743Abstract: A method for automating the redirection of references that can include downloading an original document using an original uniform resource identifier (URI), storing the original document in a repository, parsing the original document to determine the existence of one or more dependent documents referred to in the original document and executing an automated redirection subprocess. The method can include parsing each dependent document to determine one or more dependent documents, and responsive to determining the existence of one or more dependent documents, conducting the automated redirection subprocess for each dependent document and further dependent document and repeating the parsing of dependent documents and conducting the automated redirection subprocess steps until all further dependent documents have been redirected.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: John Colgrave

Patent number: 7954085Abstract: Multiple interface versions including a current interface version and at least one earlier interface version are supported. A call is received at an interface version. A data structure from the current interface version data structures is retrieved. An event comprising a reference to the call is fired. Listeners for events are provided. A listener initiates the processing of a side effect of the current interface version, if appropriate to the call, wherein a side effect is a process in addition to the main purpose of the interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2005Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: John Colgrave

Patent number: 7904552Abstract: A method and computer program product for defining at least one target system. The at least one target system is accessed to identify one or more web services available via the at least one target system, thus defining one or more available services. Information concerning the one or more available web services is identified. At least a portion of the information concerning the one or more available web services is published within a web services directory.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernard Zdzislaw Kufluk, John Colgrave, Bing Bing Du, Xiaoqiang Hou

Patent number: 7844612Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a service registry and repository system, method and computer program product for accessing objects in an object repository. There is provided a method of managing an object database for objects that includes receiving an object query; querying the object database using the object query; receiving a hierarchical collection of objects including a root object; and returning only those objects that are within a specific depth of the root object and that do not represent user-defined relationships. The returning step maps the objects from a proprietary object format into a standard object format and optionally the standard object format is the Service Definition Object format (SDO).Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Colgrave, Alexis Lee, Manfred Oevers, Andrew Rutherford, Samuel Jonathan Smith

Patent number: 7783656Abstract: A service registry and repository method for managing an object database for objects. The method includes receiving a database path query expression including both a main expression and a treat-as expression. The method also includes translating the query expression into an object query and querying the object database using the object query. In particular, the translating includes breaking the expression into nodes, examining each node to identify objects for selection and from which selection is made, consolidating objects for selection from each node in the sub-expression into a sub-SELECT clause, consolidating objects for selection in each node of the main expression into a SELECT clause, consolidating objects from which selection is made from nodes in the sub-query into a sub-FROM clause, consolidating objects from which selection is made from nodes in the main query into a FORM clause, and forming the object query from the SELECT, FROM and WHERE clauses.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Colgrave, Alexis Lee, Manfred Oevers, Samuel Jonathan Smith
