System and method for querying a data repository

A system comprising:

• a user interface;
• a data aggregation module;
• a data repository comprising a plurality of datasets representing objects;
• and
• an ontology layer comprising metadata indicative of relationships between the plurality of datasets;
• one or more physical processors;
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the system to perform:
• receiving a search request relating to one or more datasets in the data repository, the search request comprising a display request to display at least a portion of the one or more datasets;
• in response to the search request, generating a searchable database from the one or more datasets in the data repository based on ontological data comprising a type of display to present associated with the one or more datasets and an order in which each of the objects is rendered;
• generating, from the searchable database, an object view of at least the portion of the one or more datasets, the view being generated based on the ontological data;
• determining that the ontological data and a property of one of the objects have been updated;
• identifying one or more portions of the searchable database corresponding to the updated ontological data and the updated property;
• resynchronizing to update the one or more portions, without updating unchanged portions of the searchable database;
• detecting, from the user interface, a customized change in the object view;
• determining whether the customized change is compatible with the updated property, the updated type of display, and the updated order;
• in response to determining the customized change is compatible with the updated property and the updated ontological data, presenting the object view including the customized change in accordance with the updated property and the updated ontological data;
• and
• in response to determining the customized change is incompatible with the updated property and the updated ontological data, presenting an unchanged object view in accordance with the updated property and the updated ontological data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a search request relating to one or more datasets in the data repository, the search request comprising a display request to display at least a portion of the one or more datasets, the one or more datasets representing objects;
• in response to the search request, generating a searchable database from the one or more datasets in the data repository based on ontological data comprising a type of display to present associated with the one or more datasets and an order in which each of the objects is rendered;
• generating, from the searchable database, an object view of at least the portion of the one or more datasets, the view being generated based on the ontological data;
• determining that the ontological data and a property of one of the objects have been updated;
• identifying one or more portions of the searchable database corresponding to the updated ontological data and the updated property;
• resynchronizing to update the one or more portions, without updating unchanged portions of the searchable database;
• detecting, from a device, a customized change in the object view;
• determining whether the customized change is compatible with the updated ontological data and the updated property;
• in response to determining the customized change is compatible with the updated property and the updated ontological data, presenting the object view including the customized change in accordance with the updated property and the updated ontological data;
• and
• in response to determining the customized change is incompatible with the updated property and the updated ontological data, presenting an unchanged object view in accordance with the updated property and the updated ontological data.
