Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a uniform resource locator using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments disclosed herein provide receiving a plurality of terms for a term set and generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms. Once the hierarchical taxonomy has been generated, a navigation property may be assigned to at least one term in the plurality of terms. A navigation term set that mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy is then created using the at least one term.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of terms for a term set;
- generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms;
- assigning a navigation property to at least one term in the plurality of terms;
- generating a navigation term set using the at least one term, wherein properties of the navigation term set mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy;
- associating properties for a navigation tree node and a uniform resource locator having a base uniform resource locator, with the at least one term in the generated navigation term set;
- generating a friendly uniform resource locator for a website by appending the at least one term from the navigation term set to the base uniform resource locator according to a hierarchical order that is determined based on the associated properties;
- providing the friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website;
- receiving an update to the at least one term in the navigation term set, wherein the update to the at least one term automatically triggers update to the navigation tree node and the friendly uniform resource locator;
- and
- in response to receiving the update, providing an updated friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website.
A computer-readable storage device encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform a method for generating a uniform resource locator using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of terms for a term set;
- generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms;
- assigning a navigation property to at least one term in the plurality of terms;
- generating a navigation term set using the at least one term, wherein properties of the navigation term set mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy;
- associating properties for a navigation tree node and a uniform resource locator having a base uniform resource locator, with the at least one term in the generated navigation term set;
- generating a friendly uniform resource locator for a website by appending the at least one term from the navigation term set to the base uniform resource locator in accordance with a hierarchical order that is determined based on the associated properties for the navigation tree node;
- providing the friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website;
- receiving an update to the at least one term in the navigation term set, wherein the update to the at least one term automatically triggers update to the navigation tree node and the friendly uniform resource locator;
- and
- in response to receiving the update, providing an updated friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for generating a uniform resource locator using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of terms for a term set;
- generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms;
- assigning a navigation property to at least one term in the plurality of terms;
- generating a navigation term set using the at least one term, wherein properties of the navigation term set mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy;
- associating properties for a navigation tree node and a uniform resource locator having a base uniform resource locator, with the at least one term in the generated navigation term set;
- generating a friendly uniform resource locator using the at least one term in the navigation term set, wherein the friendly uniform resource locator is generated by appending the at least one term from the navigation term set to the base uniform resource locator in accordance with a hierarchical order that is determined based on the associated properties for the navigation tree node;
- providing the friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website;
- receiving an update to the at least one term in the navigation term set, wherein the update to the at least one term automatically triggers update to the navigation tree node and the uniform resource locator;
- and
- upon receiving the update, providing an updated friendly uniform resource locator for access to the website.
