Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system and method for managing data using semantic tags. The method may include providing a data model corresponding to a first set of tangible objects where the data model includes a first template class having both properties describing the set of tangible object and a set of semantic tags corresponding to the properties. The method may include receiving a class definition for a second template class for a second set of tangible objects where the second template class inherits, by the class definition, the properties and the sematic tags for the second set of tangible objects.

Claims

1. A method for managing application using semantic tagging comprising

receiving by an application manager computing device a request to create one or more templates and artifacts for a model application from a client computing device;

defining by the application manager computing device one or more templates and artifacts for the requested model application;

tagging by the application manager computing device each of the defined one or more templates and artifacts using application semantics; and

providing by the application manager computing device the tagged one or more templates and artifacts to the requesting client computing device.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving by the application manager computing device a first level information and a second level information associated with the model application from the requesting client computing device;

defining by the application manager computing device the one or more templates and artifacts using the received first level information and the second level information associated.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising storing by the application manager computing device the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the providing further comprises providing by the application manager computing device the tagged one or more templates and artifacts in a graphical representation.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising providing by the application manager computing device an option to search in the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

6. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising transferring by the application manager computing device the provided one or more templates and artifacts to a second server using the one or more semantic tags.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for managing application using semantic tagging comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

receiving a request to create one or more templates and artifacts for a model application from a client computing device;

defining one or more templates and artifacts for the requested model application;

tagging each of the defined one or more templates and artifacts using application semantics; and

providing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts to the requesting client computing device.

8. The medium as set forth in claim 7 further comprising:

receiving a first level information and a second level information associated with the model application from the requesting client computing device;

defining the one or more templates and artifacts using the received first level information and the second level information.

9. The medium as set forth in claim 7 further comprising storing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

10. The medium as set forth in claim 7 wherein the providing further comprises providing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts in a graphical representation.

11. The medium as set forth in claim 7 providing an option to search in the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

12. The medium as set forth in claim 7 further comprising transferring the provided one or more templates and artifacts to a second server using the one or more semantic tags.

13. An application manager computing device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory, wherein the memory coupled to the one or more processors which are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising;

receiving a request to create one or more templates and artifacts for a model application from a client computing device;

defining one or more templates and artifacts for the requested model application;

tagging each of the defined one or more templates and artifacts using application semantics; and

providing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts to the requesting client computing device.

14. The device as set forth in claim 13 wherein the one or more processors is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory further comprising:

receiving a first level information and a second level information associated with the model application from the requesting client computing device;

defining the one or more templates and artifacts using the received first level information and the second level information.

15. The device as set forth in claim 13 wherein the one or more processors is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory further comprising storing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

16. The device as set forth in claim 13 wherein the one or more processors is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory for the providing further comprises providing the tagged one or more templates and artifacts in a graphical representation.

17. The device as set forth in claim 13 wherein the one or more processors is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory providing an option to search in the tagged one or more templates and artifacts.

18. The device as set forth in claim 13 wherein the one or more processors is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory further comprising transferring the provided one or more templates and artifacts to a second server using the one or more semantic tags.
