Abstract
A method includes receiving, on an electronic device, one or more logical entities from a storage system having a universe of data. The one or more logical entities encapsulate data from the universe of data on the storage system. Each of the one or more logical entities belong to one of a plurality of logical-entity types defined by a universal representation format. The method additionally includes, for each of the one or more logical entities, rendering a representation of the logical entity on a spatial interface, the spatial interface comprising a plurality of spatial components.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- accessing, by an object storage system comprising computer hardware, at least a portion of a stored universe of data as a particular object of a particular object type;
- wherein the accessing is based, at least in part, on a mapping of the stored universe of data to a plurality of objects according to a universal representation format, each object of the plurality of objects belonging to an object type of a plurality of object types defined by the universal representation format;
- wherein the accessing comprises identifying a related object of the plurality of objects, the related object being identified in memory of the object storage system as related to the particular object;
- wherein the particular object comprises a relation property, the relation property comprising information about the related object;
- and
- transmitting the particular object to an interface application for rendering on a user interface according to the universal representation format, the interface application being configured according to the universal representation format.

A system comprising:
- a data store that stores a universe of data;
- and
- a computing device that executes instructions to:
- access, by an object storage system comprising computer hardware, at least a portion of a stored universe of data as a particular object of a particular object type;
- wherein the access is based, at least in part, on a mapping of the stored universe of data to a plurality of objects according to a universal representation format, each object of the plurality of objects belonging to an object type of a plurality of object types defined by the universal representation format;
- wherein the access comprises identification of a related object of the plurality of objects, the related object being identified in memory of the object storage system as related to the particular object;
- wherein the particular object comprises a relation property, the relation property comprising information about the related object;
- and
- transmit the particular object to an interface application for rendering on a user interface according to the universal representation format, the interface application being configured according to the universal representation format.
6 more elements
A method for universal presentation of data, the method comprising:
- receiving, on an electronic device, a particular object of a particular object type from a storage system comprising a universe of data, the particular object encapsulating at least a portion of the universe of data;
- wherein the storage system maps the universe of data to a plurality of objects according to a universal representation format, each object of the plurality of objects belonging to an object type of a plurality of objects types defined by the universal representation format;
- wherein the particular object comprises a relation property, the relation property including information about a related object of the plurality of objects, the related object being identified in memory of the storage system as related to the particular object;
- rendering a representation of the particular object on a user interface, the user interface comprising a first object viewer for the particular object, a relation property viewer for the relation property and a second object viewer for the related object;
- wherein the rendering comprises:
- embedding the relation property viewer within the first object viewer;
- and
- embedding the second object viewer within relation property viewer.
