Abstract: A report web service system comprises a web service interface, a report service manager, and a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) generator. The web service interface receives from a Client Application a request for a web service definition for a report as a web service, and transports to the client application the requested web service definition. The report service manager converts definitions of one or more objects in a report definition in a report store that corresponds to the requested report into web service definitions, and generates an object model based on the web service definitions to reflect a structure of the objects of the report. The WSDL generator generates a WSDL definition for the web service based on the object model. When a report as defined in the WSDL definition is rendered, a selector selects relevant objects from a generalized model of the rendered results based on information in the WSDL definition, and a representation formatter formats representation of the relevant objects.

Abstract: The invention enhances business intelligence systems by allowing both report authors and consumers (users of reports) operating in their individual choice of interface language to have full access to content (data) in that language, or in any one of a number of languages. This functionality is provided by the inclusion of at least two locales. The invention provides for defining locale mappings, mapping a locale from an unsupported locale to supported locale, defaulting to a valid locale for users with incomplete or invalid locale specifications, and for specifying object names, descriptions, and tips in multiple languages.
