In an embodiment of the invention, analytical data may be extracted from a business intelligence (BI) system on criteria specified in metadata of a business intelligence query. Once the data is extracted from the BI system, the extracted content may be provided in the context of semantic identifiers. In an embodiment, the semantic identifiers may provide a description of the extracted content associated with the identifier. In one embodiment, the semantic identifiers may be obtained from the criteria specified in the query. In another embodiment, the semantic identifiers may be defined in and obtained from a separate enterprise service repository. In an embodiment, a proposed mapping between query elements and semantic identifiers may be suggested by a processor.

Generating web services from business intelligence queries

Providing web services from business intelligence queries

A method includes, during execution of a first application program in which a user interacts with the application program, executing a launchpad service that invokes another application program. When a user interface of the first application program is refreshed, a state of the launchpad service is determined based on the refreshed user interface, and one or more launchpad control elements are displayed along with the user interface depending on the determined state of the launchpad service. When the launchpad control element is activated by an operator, execution of a second application program referenced by the activated control element is initiated and advanced to a processing stage determined by the activated control element.
