Abstract: Dynamically generating a schema representing multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships is described. In one aspect, a data polyarchy is created. Responsive to creation of the data polyarchy, a schema is automatically generated to represent multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships between multiple objects in the data polyarchy. The schema is generated based on values of attributes of the objects.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically generating a schema representing multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships are described. In one aspect, a polyarchical query language data structure includes first, second, and third data fields. The first data field is used to specify a particular schema for presenting or managing a plurality of objects in a data polyarchy based on values of attributes in the objects. The second data field is to indicate an attribute of interest. The third data field indicates how one or more objects that include the attribute of interest are to be presented or managed with respect to one or more participating dimensions of inter-object relationships based on the schema.

Abstract: The described arrangements and procedures provide for interfacing (e.g., managing, presenting, etc.) with complex and often elastic inter-object relationships between objects in a data polyarchy. Specifically, a schema is dynamically generated by a server to represent multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships between objects in a data polyarchy. The schema indicates or lists each attribute or element of interest in the data polyarchy. The schema further indicates any of one or more dimensions of inter-object relationships within which objects that comprise at least a subset of the listed the elements of interest participate. Thus, the schema indicates how to interface with the data polyarchy, which represents multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships based on the values of attributes of the represented objects.

Abstract: A system and method for use with a taxonomy-based search service that locates expanded information based on a query the client has proposed, by performing an automatically expanded branching of the query. The client specifies a starting point (corresponding to an origin node) in the taxonomy along with one or more genealogical directions to expand the search, such as to parent, children and/or sibling nodes. Variables may specify how many generations upward and/or downward should be included in the expanded search. A middle tier receives the request and converts it to the relevant queries needed to query a database that maintains the taxonomy, such that the client receives a result set that contains expanded results without needing any contextual knowledge of the taxonomy. The middle tier may be implemented, for example, in a UDDI-based environment that helps clients locate web services and other information.
