  • Content management framework for use with a system for application development
    Patent number: 8392875
    Abstract: A dynamic data-modeling system and a content management framework combined into a high-level application development framework is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system for application development, comprises a data-modeling framework configured to enable a user to define a logical data model. The data-modeling framework dynamically translates the logical data model into a corresponding physical data model. The changes to the logical data model are automatically adjusted in the physical data model accordingly. A content management framework is coupled to the data-modeling framework. The content management framework is configured to provide tools to enable the user to manage content associated with the physical data model based on the logical data model.
    Type: Grant

  • Logical data modeling and integrated application framework
    Patent number: 7185317
    Abstract: A logical data model is defined using a data-modeling framework. The data-modeling framework enables a user to define the logical data model using a series of graphical user interfaces (GUI) or an application-programming interface (API). The data-modeling framework dynamically translates the logical data model into a corresponding physical data model. The logical data model can be changed using the GUI or API and the physical data model is automatically adjusted to accommodate the changes to the logical data model. The logical data model extends capabilities of the physical data model and automatically allows these capabilities to be available to software developers using an application framework integrated with the data-modeling framework. The application framework enables the developer to configure various application features and data management operations using GUI or API.
