Abstract
A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product names an object comprising a set of properties. One or more processors define a property as a name of the object, and then generate a name for the object with a naming scheme referring to properties of the object and connected objects. The processors store the generated name as part of the defined property. In response to the processors detecting changes in the referred properties and connected objects, the stored name is automatically updated according to the naming scheme.
Claims20
A method of naming an object comprising a set of properties, the method comprising the steps of:
- defining, by one or more processors, a property as a name of the object;
- generating, by one or more processors, a name for the object with a naming scheme referring to properties of the object and connected objects;
- storing, by one or more processors, the generated name as part of the defined property;
- detecting, by one or more processors, one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects;
- and
- in response to said detecting one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects, automatically updating, by one or more processors, the stored name according to the naming scheme.
A computer program product for naming an object comprising a set of properties, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- defining a property as a name of the object;
- generating a name for the object with a naming scheme referring to properties of the object and connected objects;
- storing the generated name as part of the defined property;
- detecting one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects;
- and
- in response to said detecting one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects, automatically updating the stored name according to the naming scheme.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
- first program instructions to define a property as a name of the object;
- second program instructions to generate a name for the object with a naming scheme referring to properties of the object and connected objects;
- third program instructions to store the generated name as part of the defined property;
- fourth program instructions to detect one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects;
- and
- fifth program instructions to, in response to said detecting one or more changes in the referred properties and connected objects, automatically update the stored name according to the naming scheme;
- and wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
