Abstract
Methods and systems to improve change description information dissemination are described. When an altered version of a distributed data processing service is deployed, information about the altered service is published in a service information registry. The published information includes a link to a natural-language description of the altered service.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- publishing information about an altered version of a network-accessible data processing service to a service information registry located on a server comprising a hardware server or a software server running on a hardware computation platform, the information to include a link to a change description document, wherein the change description document is to include a description of one or more planned changes to another version of the network-accessible data processing service that are to be implemented in the altered version of the data processing service, wherein the publishing comprises storing the information in a Universal Description Discovery & Integration (“UDDI”) registry, and wherein the information includes a Technical Model (“tModel”) that contains a Uniform Resource identifier (“URI”) of the change description document;
- and
- deploying the altered version of the network-accessible data processing, service based on the one or inure planned changes.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium containing instructions to cause a programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
- locating a first data structure associated with a change description document (“CDD”) type, wherein a COD associated with the CDD type comprises a CDD that is to include a description of one or more planned changes to a version of a network-accessible data processing service that are to be implemented in an altered version of the data processing service;
- creating a second data structure categorized by the first data structure;
- storing the second data structure in a Universal Description Discovery & Integration (“UDDI”) server, wherein the second data structure includes a Technical Model (“tModel”) that contains a Uniform Resource identifier (“URI”) of the CDD;
- and
- attaching the second data structure to a third data structure that is to describe a distributed data processing service interface.

A system comprising:
- a network-accessible data processing service;
- a web server comprising a hardware server or a software server running on a hardware computation platform to respond to requests for resources, each resource to be identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (“URI”);
- a change description document that may be retrieved from the web server in response to as request for a change description document URI, wherein the change description document is to include a description of one or more planned changes to a version of a network-accessible data processing service that are to be implemented in an altered version of the data processing service;
- and
- publishing logic to transmit the change description document URI to a service information registry, wherein the publishing comprises storing information in a Universal Description Discovery & Integration (“UDDI”) registry, and wherein the information includes a Technical Model (“tModel”) that contains the change description document URI.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a tool configured to prepare a change description document and a change description data structure, wherein the change description document is to include a description of one or more planned changes to a version of a network-accessible data processing service that are to be implemented in an altered version of the data processing service;
- a resource server configured to publish the change description document, the resource server comprising a hardware server or a software server running on a hardware computation platform;
- and
- a web server configured to publish the change description data structure to an information broker, wherein the publishing by the web server con rises storing, the chance description data structure in a Universal Description Discovery & Integration (“UDDI”) server, and wherein the change description data structure includes a Technical Model (“tModel”) that contains a Uniform Resource identifier (“URI”) of the clangs;
- description document.
