Computerized Methods and Systems for Selecting a View of Query Results

A computer system coupled to one or more backend collection of resources, the computer system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing computer components;
• and
• a computerized processor for executing the computer components, the computer components comprising:
• a frontend interface including a query input interface and a result output interface, the query input interface configured to receive a resource query,
• a query executor configured to:
• receive the resource query from the query input interface, and in response to the received resource query, retrieve a set of resources from at least one of the backend collections of resources, each resource having an associated backend resource type comprising one or more backend resource attribute,
• a view selector configured to:
• identify at least one view from a set of predefined views that is satisfied by the retrieved set of resources, wherein the identifying includes, for each backend resource attribute of the retrieved set of resources, verifying existence of a transformation between the backend resource attribute and a corresponding frontend attribute associated with the at least one view, and
• select a selected view from the identified at least one view based on a query intent derived at least in part from the resource query, and
• a representation generator configured to:
• generate a representation of the retrieved set of resources according to the selected view, and
• provide the generated representation to the result output interface.

A method performed by a computer, the method comprising:

• retrieving a set of resources from at least one backend collection of resources in response to a resource query, each resource having an associated backend resource type comprising one or more backend resource attribute;
• processing the resource query and the retrieved set of resources to select a selected view from a set of predefined views based at least in part on:
• for each backend resource attribute of the retrieved set of resources, at least one transformation that maps the backend attribute to a frontend attribute associated with at least one predefined view in the set of predefined views, and
• a query intent, derived at least in part from the resource query, associated with at least one predefined view in the set of predefined view;
• and
• generating a representation of the retrieved set of resources according to the selected view.
