Abstract

Generating a wizard includes receiving a scheme as an input source to form a received scheme, wherein the received scheme is a taxonomy, receiving a defined set of content files to form received content files, and loading the received content files and the received scheme. The received content files can be tagged using the received scheme. A wizard can be generated using the received scheme. The generated wizard is capable of use with an application utilizing the scheme, wherein a change in the received scheme is directly represented in the generated wizard.

Claims (63)

1. A computer-implemented method for generating a wizard for an application, comprising:

receiving a classification scheme as an XML file that includes:

a list of values for selection,

filtering criteria, and

semantic relationships among listed elements;

receiving a content file including content data;

tagging the content data within using values from the list of values within the classification scheme; and

generating the wizard using the filtering criteria and the semantic relationships, wherein the wizard is configured to select and retrieve filtered content from the content data, the application uses the classification scheme, and

a subsequent modification to the classification scheme is reflected in an updated wizard.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining whether a set of classification schemes exists;

prompting a user for a selection from among the set of classification schemes; and

receiving a selected scheme from the set of classification schemes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining that a set of classification scheme does not exist; and

prompting, responsive to the determining, prompting a user for a definition of the classification scheme.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the scheme includes definitions of classification tags and additional annotations including attributes, groupings, and labels.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the content file conforms a Darwin Information Typing Architecture specification.

6. A computer hardware system configured to generate a wizard for an application, comprising:

a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations:

receiving a classification scheme as an XML file that includes:

a list of values for selection,

filtering criteria, and

semantic relationships among listed elements;

receiving a content file including content data;

tagging the content data within using values from the list of values within the classification scheme; and

generating the wizard using the filtering criteria and the semantic relationships, wherein the wizard is configured to select and retrieve filtered content from the content data, the application uses the classification scheme, and

a subsequent modification to the classification scheme is reflected in an updated wizard.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining whether a set of classification schemes exists;

prompting a user for a selection from among the set of classification schemes; and

receiving a selected scheme from the set of classification schemes.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining that a set of classification scheme does not exist; and

prompting, responsive to the determining, prompting a user for a definition of the classification scheme.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein

the scheme includes definitions of classification tags and additional annotations including attributes, groupings, and labels.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein

the content file conforms a Darwin Information Typing Architecture specification.

11. A computer program product, comprising:

a hardware storage device having stored therein computer-readable program code for generating a wizard for an application,

the computer readable program code, which when executed on a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:

receiving a classification scheme as an XML file that includes:

a list of values for selection,

filtering criteria, and

semantic relationships among listed elements;

receiving a content file including content data;

tagging the content data within using values from the list of values within the classification scheme; and

generating the wizard using the filtering criteria and the semantic relationships, wherein the wizard is configured to select and retrieve filtered content from the content data, the application uses the classification scheme, and

a subsequent modification to the classification scheme is reflected in an updated wizard.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining whether a set of classification schemes exists;

prompting a user for a selection from among the set of classification schemes; and

receiving a selected scheme from the set of classification schemes.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the classification scheme includes:

determining that a set of classification scheme does not exist; and

prompting, responsive to the determining, prompting a user for a definition of the classification scheme.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein

the scheme includes definitions of classification tags and additional annotations including attributes, groupings, and labels.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein

the content file conforms a Darwin Information Typing Architecture specification.
