A system and/or methodology that enables personalization as a platform service for applications via a rich data view. More particularly, the subject invention provides for a rich data view to be rendered to an end-user whereas management of the data can be effected (e.g., personalized) thereafter. In other words, the invention enables a user to establish and access personalized mechanisms via a rich data view. The personalized mechanisms are based upon rule-based logic with respect to application data types.

Rich end-user data views

User productivity can be facilitated by providing an interface between a high-level intent and low-level settings that should be configured to achieve the intent. The intent can be expressed in declarative language. The intent can be verified to determine if it conforms to a target, a policy, or both. Policy binding can provide a relationship between the target and the policy. An application view can be provided that allows the user to view a server having one or more databases.

Declarative management framework

Data management between a common data store and multiple applications of multiple disparate application frameworks. A data storage component is provided that facilitates the storage of data, which data includes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. A common data platform interfaces to the data storage component to provide data services accessible by a plurality of disparate application frameworks, which data services allow a corresponding application of the different frameworks to access the data.

Platform for data services across disparate application frameworks

The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate subscription, delivery, processing, and reception of notification services. A global service framework is provided that operates in conjunction with a notification platform architecture to deliver information from one or more event sources to one or more notification sinks that receive information from the services. The global framework includes discovery and description components that provide information relating to available notification services. Subscriptions can be obtained via subscription events, whereby notifications can be delivered via notification events, wherein such events can be modeled as part of the global service framework. Various communications protocols can also be provided to facilitate communications with the notification services and global services framework. Furthermore, various notification delivery protocols can be provided that operate with structured database technologies to facilitate bulk message delivery and service in a reliable manner while mitigating network problems such as delivering notifications under power-interrupting conditions.
