System and method for providing supplemental functionalities to a computer program via an ontology instance
First Claim
1. A method of providing supplemental functionalities to an executable program via an ontology instance, the method comprising:
- causing, by a computer system, an executable program associated with an ontology to be run, wherein the ontology comprises information indicating attributes for a set of applications;
obtaining, by a computer system, an instance of the ontology, wherein the ontology instance corresponds to an application of the set of applications;
using, by a computer system, the ontology instance to generate application metadata for the executable program, wherein the application metadata is related to one or more functionalities of the application;
extracting, by a computer system, class information from the ontology;
using, by a computer system, the class information to generate a programming interface, wherein the programming interface allows the executable program to access the application metadata; and
providing, by a computer system, the application metadata as input to the executable program via the programming interface,wherein the application metadata, at least in part, causes the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the executable program.

Abstract
Supplemental functionalities may be provided for an executable program via an ontology instance. In some embodiments, a computer program (e.g., an executable program or other computer program) associated with an ontology may be caused to be run. The ontology may include information indicating attributes for a set of applications. An instance of the ontology may be obtained, which may correspond to an application of the set of applications. Based on the ontology instance, supplemental information may be generated for the computer program. The supplemental information may be related to one or more functionalities of the application to be added to the executable program. The supplemental information may be provided as input to the computer program. The supplemental information, at least in part, may cause the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the executable program.

11. One or more tangible, machine-readable, non-transitory media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, effectuate operations comprising:
-
causing an executable program associated with an ontology to be run, wherein the ontology comprises information indicating attributes for a set of applications; obtaining an instance of the ontology, wherein the ontology instance comprises information indicating attributes for an application of the set of applications; using the ontology instance to generate supplemental information for the running executable program, wherein the supplemental information defines one or more functionalities of the application; extracting class information from the ontology; using the class information to generate a programming interface, wherein the programming interface allows the executable program to access the supplemental information; and providing the supplemental information as input to the running executable program via the programming interface, wherein the supplemental information, at least in part, causes the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the running executable program. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system comprising:
one or more computer systems comprising one or more hardware processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more computer systems to; cause an executable program associated with an ontology to be run, wherein the ontology comprises information indicating attributes for a set of applications; obtain an instance of the ontology, wherein the ontology instance comprises information indicating attributes for an application of the set of applications; extract axiom information from the ontology; use the axiom information to generate a set of logic rules; use the ontology instance to generate supplemental information for the running executable program, wherein at least part of the supplemental information is generated using the set of logic rules, and wherein the supplemental information defines one or more functionalities of the application; and provide the supplemental information as input to the running executable program, wherein the supplemental information, at least in part, causes the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the running executable program without recompiling all of the executable program. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method of providing supplemental functionalities to an executable program via an ontology instance, the method comprising:
-
causing, by a computer system, an executable program associated with an ontology to be run, wherein the ontology comprises information indicating attributes for a set of applications; obtaining, by a computer system, an instance of the ontology, wherein the ontology instance corresponds to an application of the set of applications; using, by a computer system, the ontology instance to generate application metadata for the executable program, wherein the application metadata is related to one or more functionalities of the application; and providing, by a computer system, the application metadata as input to the executable program, wherein the application metadata, at least in part, causes the one or more functionalities of the application to be made available via the executable program, and wherein the application metadata includes a data model for encoding metadata and knowledge on the Semantic Web using facts expressed as triples.
