Abstract

A catalog creation support system, catalog creation support method, and program that allow a catalog creator to intuitively create a catalog using a GUI are proposed. The catalog creation support system is a system for supporting catalog creation used in an orchestrator and includes a GUI generation device ( 30 ) configured to generate a GUI, and a catalog creation device ( 40 ) configured to create a catalog, wherein a catalog definition file (F 1 ) in which definition information of the catalog is described is read and a service-independent catalog information abstraction model is constructed.

Claims (32)

1 . A catalog creation support system for supporting catalog creation used in an orchestrator, the catalog creation support system comprising:

a GUI generation device configured to generate a GUI; and

a catalog creation device configured to create a catalog,

wherein the catalog creation support system is configured to read a catalog definition file in which definition information of the catalog is described and to construct a service-independent catalog information abstraction model.

2 . The catalog creation support system according to claim 1 , wherein the GUI includes a component pane, an editor pane, and a parameter input pane.

3 . The catalog creation support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the catalog creation support system is configured to define a template that is independent of a service type of the catalog, and

the catalog creation support system is configured to abstract an interface so that variables described in the template are treated as “array value of basic information” or “array value of component information” together with a catalog definition on a GUI.

4 . The catalog creation support system according to claim 1 , wherein content of the catalog is abstracted in a service-independent manner as a general-purpose interface.

5 . The catalog creation support system according to claim 1 , wherein an output catalog is linked with the orchestrator by an API.

6 . A catalog creation support method for supporting catalog creation used in an orchestrator, the catalog creation support method comprising:

generating, at a GUI generation device, a GUI; and

creating, at a catalog creation device, a catalog,

wherein a catalog definition file in which definition information of the catalog is described is read and a service-independent catalog information abstraction model is constructed.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more instructions for causing a computer to execute:

generating, at a GUI generation device, a GUI; and

creating, at a catalog creation device, a catalog,

wherein a catalog definition file in which definition information of the catalog is described is read and a service-independent catalog information abstraction model is constructed.

8 . The catalog creation support method according to claim 6 , wherein the GUI includes a component pane, an editor pane, and a parameter input pane.

9 . The catalog creation support method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

defining a template that is independent of a service type of the catalog; and

abstracting an interface so that variables described in the template are treated as “array value of basic information” or “array value of component information” together with a catalog definition on a GUI.

10 . The catalog creation support method according to claim 6 , further comprising abstracting content of the catalog in a service-independent manner as a general-purpose interface.

11 . The catalog creation support method according to claim 6 , further comprising linking an output catalog with the orchestrator by an API.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the GUI includes a component pane, an editor pane, and a parameter input pane.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the computer to execute:

defining a template that is independent of a service type of the catalog; and

abstracting an interface so that variables described in the template are treated as “array value of basic information” or “array value of component information” together with a catalog definition on a GUI.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the computer to execute:

abstracting content of the catalog in a service-independent manner as a general-purpose interface.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the computer to execute:

linking an output catalog with the orchestrator by an API.
