MODELING CONTENT DATA FOR GENERATING INFORMATION MODELS
In one embodiment, a selection of a type of an information view is received. Further, an import option to select an existing information model is rendered on a computer generated user interface for modeling content data for the selected information view. In response to receiving the selection of the import option, content data of the existing information model is rendered by presenting table objects corresponding to the content data on a content data editor interface, wherein the table objects comprises identification of connections and cardinality between table columns of the table objects. The content data is modeled for the selected information view using at least one of the rendered selected content data and the source of table objects. Furthermore, an information model for the selected information view is generated by activating the modeled content data.

in response to receiving the selection of the existing information model, render content data of the existing information model by presenting table objects corresponding to the content data of the existing information model on a content data editor interface, wherein the table objects comprises identification of connections and cardinality between table columns of the table objects; and
model the content data for the selected information view using at least one of the rendered content data and source of table objects.
2 . The article of manufacture of claim 1 , further comprising instructions which when executed by the computer, cause the computer to: generate an information model for the selected information view by activating the modeled content data.
3 . The article of manufacture of claim 2 , further comprising instructions which when executed by the computer, cause the computer to: generating a package to store a generated information model.
4 . The article of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein the connections and the cardinality are automatically identified from a file source associated with the existing information model.
5 . The article of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein rendering the content data of the existing information model further comprises providing an option to modify the rendered table objects of the content data of the existing information model.
6 . The article of manufacture of claim 5 , wherein modifying table objects comprises at least one of adding one or more table objects from the source of table objects and deleting one or more table objects associated with the existing information model.
7 . The article of manufacture of claim 2 , wherein generating the information model further comprises storing modeled content data associated with the generated information model in a file source.
8 . A computer implemented method to model content data for generating an information model, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of a type of an information view;
rendering an import option to select an existing information model on a computer generated user interface for modeling content data for the selected information view;
in response to receiving the selection of the existing information model, rendering content data of the existing information model by presenting table objects corresponding to the content data of the existing information model on a content data editor interface, wherein the table objects comprises identification of connections and cardinality between table columns of the table objects; and
modeling the content data for the selected information view using at least one of the rendered content data and source of table objects.
9 . The computer implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising generating the information model for the selected information view by activating the modeled content data.
10 . The computer implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising generating a package to store a generated information model.
11 . The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the connections and the cardinality are automatically identified from a file source associated with the existing information model.
12 . The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein rendering the content data of the existing information model further comprises providing an option to modify the rendered table objects of the content data of the existing information model.
13 . The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein modifying table objects comprises at least one of adding one or more table objects from the source of table objects and deleting one or more table objects associated with the existing information model.
14 . The computer implemented method of claim 9 , wherein generating the information model further comprises storing modeled content data associated with the generated information model in a file source.
15 . A computer system to model content data for generating an information model, the computer system comprising:
at least one processor; and
one or more memory devices communicative with the at least one processor, wherein the one or more memory devices store instructions to:
receive a selection of a type of an information view;
render an import option to select an existing information model on a computer generated user interface for modeling the content data for the selected information view;
in response to receiving the selection of the existing information model, render content data of the existing information model by presenting table objects corresponding to the content data of the existing information model on a content data editor interface, wherein the table objects comprises identification of connections and cardinality between table columns of the table objects; and
model the content data for the selected information view using at least one of the rendered content data and source of table objects.
16 . The computer system of claim 15 , further comprising generating an information model for the selected information view by activating the modeled content data.
17 . The computer system of claim 16 , further comprising generating a package to store the generated information model.
18 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the connections and the cardinality are automatically identified from a file source associated with the existing information model.
19 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein rendering the content data of the existing information model further comprises providing an option to modify the rendered table objects of the content data of the existing information model.
20 . The computer system of claim 19 , wherein modifying table objects comprises at least one of adding one or more table objects from the source of table objects and deleting one or more table objects associated with the existing information model.
