  • Semantic related objects
    Patent number: 9779135
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided for utilizing a meta-model semantic network. In this method, a meta-model of the enterprise data is obtained. The meta-model provides semantic information regarding a definition of a business object. The meta-model is then used to generate a rule definition that maps enterprise data to a semantic object definition and a semantic relation definition. With the rule definition, embodiments may then generate a semantic object and a semantic relation from data extracted from the enterprise data. The semantic object and semantic relation are stored in the meta-model semantic network.

  • Optimizing database queries having hierarchy filters
    Patent number: 9767151
    Abstract: A query is received by a database server from a remote application server. The query is associated with a calculation scenario that defines a data flow model that includes one or more calculation nodes and that includes at least one hierarchy filter. Each hierarchy filter is a filter of at least one hierarchy table. Each calculation node defines one or more operations to execute on the database server. Thereafter, the database server instantiates the calculation scenario. The instantiating includes optimizing the calculation scenario by transforming at least one hierarchy filter and pushing down the at least one transformed hierarchy filter to a lower calculation node. The database server then executes the operations defined by the calculation nodes of the optimized calculation scenario to result in a responsive data set. The database server can subsequently provide the data set to the application server.
