US 10,255,308 B2 · Conforming data structure instances to schema versions

Abstract

In a method for managing versions of a schema, a processor receives a first version of a schema. A processor generates an annotated version of the first version of the schema, wherein one or more fields of the annotated version of the first version of the schema each correspond to a distinct identifier. A processor receives a first instance conforming to the first version of the schema. A processor identifies one or more values of the first instance, wherein each value of the one or more values corresponds to a field of the one or more fields. A processor assigns an identifier to at least one value of the one or more values based on the distinct identifier corresponding to the field of the at least one value. A processor stores the at least one value, such that the at least one value is associated with the assigned identifier.

Dependent claims

A method for managing versions of a schema, the method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors, an annotated version of a first version of a schema, wherein a first field of the annotated version of the first version of the schema corresponds to a first identifier;
identifying, by one or more processors, a value of a first instance conforming to the first version of the schema, wherein the value corresponds to the first field;
assigning, by one or more processors, the first identifier to the value of the first instance;
and
storing, by one or more processors, the value of the first instance, such that the value is associated with the first identifier.

2 more elements

A computer program product for managing versions of a schema, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to generate an annotated version of a first version of a schema, wherein a first field of the annotated version of the first version of the schema corresponds to a first identifier;
program instructions to identify a value of a first instance conforming to the first version of the schema, wherein the value corresponds to the first field;
program instructions to assign the first identifier to the value of the first instance;
and
program instructions to store the value of the first instance, such that the value is associated with the first identifier.

3 more elements

A computer system for managing versions of a schema, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to generate an annotated version of a first version of a schema, wherein a first field of the annotated version of the first version of the schema corresponds to a first identifier;
program instructions to identify a value of a first instance conforming to the first version of the schema, wherein the value corresponds to the first field;
program instructions to assign the first identifier to the value of the first instance;
and
program instructions to store the value of the first instance, such that the value is associated with the first identifier.
