Abstract

A system with methodology for providing multi-language support for dynamic ontology. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises: storing an ontology for a data store, wherein the ontology comprises a plurality of data types; for each data type of the plurality of data types: storing, in the ontology, one or more display values, wherein each display value is associated with a locale; determining a locale identifier corresponding to a particular locale; selecting a particular display value corresponding to the particular locale; displaying the particular display value.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

at one or more computing devices comprising one or more processors and storage media storing one or more computer programs executed by the one or more processors to perform the method, performing operations comprising;

storing an ontology for a data store, wherein the ontology comprises a plurality of data types; and

for each data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more display values in association with a respective locale identifier, wherein each display value indicates how the data type is displayed in a graphical user interface;

for at least a particular data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more parsers in association with a respective locale identifier;

determining a particular locale associated with a user computing device;

determining a locale identifier corresponding to the particular locale;

determining one or more data types of the plurality of data types to be displayed in a graphical user interface at the user computing device;

for each data type of the one or more data types, determining a display value corresponding to the particular locale using the locale identifier, and displaying the data type at the user computing device using the display value corresponding to the particular locale;

receiving, from the user computing device via the graphical user interface, input data corresponding to the particular data type;

determining, based on the locale identifier, a particular parser of the one or more parsers corresponding to the particular locale;

parsing the input data using the particular parser.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein, for each data type, determining a display value further comprises:

retrieving the one or more display values for the data type;

selecting from the one or more display values the display value corresponding to the particular locale.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

storing, in the ontology, a default display value not corresponding to a locale.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining no display value corresponds to the particular locale;

selecting the default display value; and

displaying the default display value.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

wherein each of the one or more data types comprise one or more attributes;

for each of the one or more attributes;

storing, in the ontology, one or more display values, wherein each display value is associated with a locale;

determining a locale identifier corresponding to a particular locale;

selecting a display value corresponding to the particular locale; and

displaying the display value.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the data type is one of:

a data object type, a property type, or a link type.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the particular data type is a property type, the method further:

comprising storing the parsed input data in a property of the property type.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

storing an ontology for a data store, wherein the ontology comprises a plurality of data types;

for each data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more display values in association with a respective locale identifier, wherein each display value indicates how the data type is displayed in a graphical user interface;

for at least a particular data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more parsers in association with a respective locale identifier;

determining a particular locale associated with a user computing device;

determining a locale identifier corresponding to the particular locale;

determining one or more data types of the plurality of data types to be displayed in a graphical user interface at the user computing device;

for each data type of the one or more data types, determining a display value corresponding to the particular locale using the locale identifier, and displaying the data type at the user computing device using the display value corresponding to the particular locale;

receiving, from the user computing device via the graphical user interface, input data corresponding to the particular data type;

determining, based on the locale identifier, a particular parser of the one or more parsers corresponding to the particular locale;

parsing the input data using the particular parser.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8, wherein, for each data type, determining a particular display value further comprises:

retrieving the one or more display values for the data type;

selecting from the one or more display values the display value corresponding to the particular locale.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8, the operations further comprising:

storing, in the ontology, a default display value not corresponding to a locale.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10, the operations further comprising:

determining no display value corresponds to the particular locale;

selecting the default display value; and

displaying the default display value.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8, the operations further comprising:

wherein each of the one or more data types comprise one or more attributes;

for each of the one or more attributes;

storing, in the ontology, one or more display values, wherein each display value is associated with a locale;

determining a locale identifier corresponding to a particular locale;

selecting a particular display value corresponding to the particular locale; and

displaying the particular display value.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8, wherein the data type is one of:

a data object type, a property type, or a link type.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the particular data type is a property type, the operations further comprising storing the parsed input data in a property of the property type.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more computer-readable media storing one or more computer programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more computer programs comprising instructions for;

storing an ontology for a data store, wherein the ontology comprises a plurality of data types;

for each data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more display values in association with a respective locale identifier, wherein each display value indicates how the data type is displayed in a graphical user interface;

for at least a particular data type of the plurality of data types, storing, in the ontology, one or more parsers in association with a respective locale identifier;

determining a particular locale associated with a user computing device;

determining a locale identifier corresponding to the particular locale;

determining one or more data types of the plurality of data types to be displayed in a graphical user interface at the user computing device;
