Resolving information in a database environment

A system comprising:

• a database system implemented using a server system, the database system configurable to cause:
• displaying a computing environment on a display device, the computing environment providing access to a plurality of computing resources, each computing resource associated with:
• a corresponding variable unit of computing functionality, and
• a corresponding one of a plurality of parameter values, the corresponding parameter value representing a level of access to the corresponding variable unit;
• providing a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes representing a hierarchical arrangement of the computing resources, one or more of the nodes associated with a corresponding one or more conditions to be satisfied for a computing resource associated with the one or more nodes to be in an activated state in which the computing resource is available for use;
• identifying one or more dependency relationships between or among the computing resources;
• generating a plurality of aggregated parameter values based on the parameter values;
• determining one or more redundancies between or among the aggregated parameter values;
• identifying one or more of the computing resources associated with the redundancy;
• removing, from the metadata model, one or more of the nodes associated with the identified one or more computing resources to produce an optimized metadata model;
• and
• updating the displayed computing environment on the display device to represent the optimized metadata model.

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising instructions configurable to cause:

• displaying a computing environment on a display device, the computing environment providing access to a plurality of computing resources, each computing resource associated with:
• a corresponding variable unit of computing functionality, and
• a corresponding one of a plurality of parameter values, the corresponding parameter value representing a level of access to the corresponding variable unit;
• providing a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes representing a hierarchical arrangement of the computing resources, one or more of the nodes associated with a corresponding one or more conditions to be satisfied for a computing resource associated with the one or more nodes to be in an activated state in which the computing resource is available for use;
• identifying one or more dependency relationships between or among the computing resources;
• generating a plurality of aggregated parameter values based on the parameter values;
• determining one or more redundancies between or among the aggregated parameter values;
• identifying one or more of the computing resources associated with the redundancy;
• removing, from the metadata model, one or more of the nodes associated with the identified one or more computing resources to produce an optimized metadata model;
• and
• updating the displayed computing environment on the display device to represent the optimized metadata model.

A method comprising:

• causing display of a computing environment on a display device, the computing environment providing access to a plurality of computing resources, each computing resource associated with:
• a corresponding variable unit of computing functionality, and
• a corresponding one of a plurality of parameter values, the corresponding parameter value representing a level of access to the corresponding variable unit;
• providing a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes representing a hierarchical arrangement of the computing resources, one or more of the nodes associated with a corresponding one or more conditions to be satisfied for a computing resource associated with the one or more nodes to be in an activated state in which the computing resource is available for use;
• identifying one or more dependency relationships between or among the computing resources;
• generating a plurality of aggregated parameter values based on the parameter values;
• determining one or more redundancies between or among the aggregated parameter values;
• identifying one or more of the computing resources associated with the redundancy;
• removing, from the metadata model, one or more of the nodes associated with the identified one or more computing resources to produce an optimized metadata model;
• and
• causing updating of the displayed computing environment on the display device to represent the optimized metadata model.
