A method, computer system, and a computer program product for generating a conversational bot for an application programming interface (API) is provided. The present invention may include parsing an API schema. The present invention may include generating sentences for the conversational bot from the parsed API schema. The present invention may include constructing the conversational bot by training a deep learning model. The present invention may include receiving a natural language expression from a user. The present invention may include determining whether the natural language expression is enough to activate the bot.

Generating and updating conversational artifacts from APIS

An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for correlating artifacts between a versioned domain and an un-versioned domain, generates metadata having attributes of both of the versioned domain and the un-versioned domains, for an artifact in a set of artifacts; creates an instance using a specific version of a versioned artifact definition, wherein the instance comprises a first part directly created from the versioned artifact definition and a second part created from an un-versioned artifact definition; specifies linkages between a respective representation of the artifact in the versioned domain and the un-versioned domain; provides a set of facades through which a selected one of author, execute and update instances of the artifact is performed using either the versioned domain or the un-versioned domain; and correlates all versions of the artifact definition to a single un-versioned definition.

Artifact correlation between domains

Process model merging receives data representative of a first model that models a first process and a second model that models a second process, and determines, based on the data and a predetermined plurality of basic model manipulation operations, atomic differences in the second model relative to the first model. Compound differences are determined in the second model relative to the first model. A user is informed of the atomic differences and the compound differences. The user is allowed to select a set of the plurality of basic model manipulation operations. A modified first model is obtained by applying the selected set of basic model manipulation operations to the first model.

Process model merging

A method of synchronizing artifacts of a first domain with artifacts of a second domain is provided. The method includes: loading a first set of transformed artifacts and a first artifact map from a first domain into a second domain; generating an association model based on an evaluation of the first artifact map and a second artifact map; comparing a first transformed artifact of the first set of transformed artifacts with a second artifact of a second set of artifacts corresponding to the second artifact map based on the association model; determining differences based on the comparing; and selectively updating the second artifact map based on the differences.

Synchronization of artifacts across different domains

Techniques for implicitly extending an object model, even those that do not provide an extension mechanism, in a manner that is transparent, independent, and non-disruptive to the model itself. An 'extension' is preferably created for each object to be extended, and comprises a reference to the object and contains an 'extension object' that specifies the particular extensions.

Model extension framework

A solution for managing a set of artifacts for a runtime environment is provided, which enables improved tooling that supports runtime extensions to a runtime environment. In one embodiment, an extension handler is obtained for a runtime extension to the runtime environment. The runtime extension comprises a program code that can be included in the runtime environment to extend the default capabilities of a runtime engine/framework. The extension handler provides tooling support for extension artifacts that use/require the runtime extension. When a tooling request for an extension artifact is obtained, the tooling request is processed using the extension handler. In this manner, a tooling solution is shielded from needing to know the specifics of the extension artifact or corresponding runtime extension. Similarly, the developer of the extension handler for the runtime extension is shielded from needing to know any specifics of the tooling environment. As a result, the invention provides a tooling solution that is extensible to support the tooling requirements of an extensible runtime engine.
