Meta-model information associated with an enterprise portal
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method associated with a business enterprise portal, comprising:
- defining meta-model information associated with the enterprise portal, the meta-model information being associated with unified modeling language class diagram definitions associated with the enterprise portal;
consuming, by an off-line portal design tool, the meta-model information when not in communication with an executing enterprise portal server;
connecting with an executing enterprise portal server; and
generating, using layout information generated with the off-line portal design tool, portal content via the executing enterprise portal server, wherein a plurality of user interface portal design tools may consume the meta-model information and a change to the meta-model information associated with business logic does not require a change to any of the user interface portal design tools.

Abstract
According to some embodiments, meta-model information associated with an enterprise portal is defined. The meta-model information may then be consumed (e.g., by a design tool) when not in communication with an executing enterprise portal server. According to some embodiments, the meta-model information includes UML class diagram definitions associated with the enterprise portal.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a meta-model tool to define meta-model information associated with a Web portal and to store the meta-model information in a portal content directory, the meta-model information being associated with unified modeling language class diagram definitions associated with the enterprise portal; a first application programming interface to expose the metal-model information in the portal content directory; a portal design user interface to access the first application programming interface and to facilitate definition, by a user, of a portal layout; and an enterprise portal run-time server to access a second application programming interface and to provide portal information to a Web browser in accordance with the defined portal layout, wherein the portal design user interface facilitates definition of the portal layout when not in communication with enterprise portal server.
