Systems and methods for generating application programming interface (api) schema

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, an ontology file comprising a domain-specific conceptual model, wherein the domain-specific conceptual model comprises ontological entities and corresponding relationship between ontological entities;
• determining, by the processor, a schema generation strategy from at least one of a simple strategy, a nearest neighbor strategy, and a shortest path strategy for the received ontology file based on a user requirement and the received ontology file;
• generating, by the processor, an ontological data structure for the received ontology file based on the selected schema generation strategy, wherein the ontological data structure comprises the ontological entities mapped to a plurality of ontological classes in a predefined manner based on the relationship between the ontological entities and based on properties associated with the ontological entities;
• transforming, by the processor, the generated ontological data structure into a graphical schema structure by mapping each of the ontological entities to corresponding graphical entities based on the selected schema generation strategy and the generated ontological data structure;
• generating, by the processor, a graphical schema file for the transformed graphical schema structure by serializing the transformed graphical schema structure;
• and
• outputting, by the processor, the generated graphical schema file as an Application Programming Interface (API).

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a processor-executable instructions that cause a processor to:

• receive an ontology file comprising a domain-specific conceptual model, wherein the domain-specific conceptual model comprises ontological entities and corresponding relationship between ontological entities;
• determine a schema generation strategy from at least one of a simple strategy, a nearest neighbor strategy, and a shortest path strategy for the received ontology file based on a user requirement and the received ontology file;
• generate an ontological data structure for the received ontology file based on the selected schema generation strategy, wherein the ontological data structure comprises the ontological entities mapped to a plurality of ontological classes in a predefined manner based on the relationship between the ontological entities and based on properties associated with the ontological entities;
• transform the generated ontological data structure into a graphical schema structure by mapping each of the ontological entities to corresponding graphical entities based on the selected schema generation strategy and the generated ontological data structure;
• generate a graphical schema file for the transformed graphical schema structure by serializing the transformed graphical schema structure;
• and
• output the generated graphical schema file as an Application Programming Interface (API).
