Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Examples

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a unified modeling platform of an industrial app according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, the unified modeling platform provided in the present embodiment is applied to an electronic device, which may be understood as a computer or a server having data calculation and information processing, and includes a system built-in plug-in module 10 and a system kernel 20. The system kernel of the present application includes a meta-model bootstrap module 21, a model data operation protocol module 22, a model data publishing module 23, and a model data processing plug-in module 24.

The meta-model bootstrap module is the basis of the whole platform and is used for completing the self-description of the meta-model, so that the dependency on any other module is not required. A meta-model is a model of a model, for example in the field of data modeling, which is a model that describes a data table. A set of modeling elements and rules for using the elements may be provided and applied recursively to describe the business model and meta model using a unified approach.

The meta-model provides two concepts, a logical table meta-model and a logical field meta-model. Wherein, the logic table meta model is used for describing a model main body; the logic field meta-model is used to describe the model structure, and the model bootstrap is completed through the following three logic tables.

a. Logic table meta model:

name	description
		logic_table	logical table meta model
logic_column	Logical field meta-model
		logic_data_type	Logical data type meta-model

b. Logical field meta-model:

logic_table	name	logic_data_type	description
				logic_table	name	string	logical table name
logic_table	description	string	Logical table description
				logic_column	name	string	Logical field names
logic_column	description	string	Logical field description
				logic_column	data_type	string	Logic type
logic_data_type	name	string	Logical type name
				logic_data_type	description	string	Logical type description
physical_data_type	name	string	Name of physical type
				physical_data_type	description	string	Description of physical types

c. Logical data type of meta model:

the model data operation protocol module is used for defining data addition, modification and deletion and a standard rest interface of batch mixing operation, and data is transmitted in a json format. The logical table in the interface route is used as a resource. The platform implements a data manipulation protocol by which all data manipulations must be accomplished, providing no other means.

The model data release module is used for releasing the whole operation as a message after the platform processes the data operation; the method provides an asynchronous mode and a synchronous mode to enable the outside to monitor the message, the synchronous mode needs to wait for the other side to process the message and finish the operation after confirmation, the asynchronous mode does not block the current data operation, and all external modules needing synchronous processing must meet the performance requirement in order to ensure the stability of the platform.

The model data processing plug-in module provides a set of plug-in system which is established on the model data publishing module and provides a series of functions of plug-in registration, log-out, operation performance monitoring and the like. And simultaneously, the module also manages the plug-in model by utilizing the unified modeling capability.

The system kernel provides the capability independent of a specific platform, but as an industrial app development platform, a set of platform standards needs to be defined. But all the capabilities related to the platform are completed through the plug-in, so that the universality and the expansibility of the platform are greatly improved. Correspondingly, the system built-in plug-in module is used for providing plug-in services according to plug-in configuration requests of users, and specifically includes but is not limited to a platform metadata plug-in, a data persistence plug-in, an object model extension plug-in and a time sequence data modeling plug-in.

The platform metadata plug-in is used to define the modules that the metadata of the platform itself, e.g., the version of the platform, contains. All api's provided by the system, all apps installed by the platform.

The data persistence plug-in is used to persist model data to various databases, such that the entire platform is decoupled from the specific databases, and the same piece of data can even be persisted to different databases, such as relational databases and graph databases. The plug-in mechanism greatly improves the flexibility and universality of the system.

The object model extension plug-in is used for carrying out richer description on the entities and the relations among the entities in the modeling process of the object model, for example, a platform can provide meta-models such as events, services and the like by extending the meta-models, and provides the capability of defining meta-data such as attributes and the like on instance data. This is an example of the typical increase in platform capabilities by extending the meta-model.

The time series data has a plurality of unique characteristics, for example, each time series data is a data stream, the attribute meta model can be expanded, and the time series data modeling plug-in can add more data information to the time series attribute, such as the unit of the attribute, the underlying sensor information and the like. By expanding the meta model instead of solidifying the capability into the system kernel, time sequence data modeling and relationship data modeling can be fused, a set of standard concepts and tools are provided, and meanwhile, the time sequence data and the relationship data are communicated with each other, relationships are established, mutual perception is achieved, and richer data processing capability is provided for the app.

According to the technical scheme, the embodiment provides a unified modeling platform of the industrial app, and the unified modeling platform comprises a system kernel and a system built-in plug-in module. The system kernel comprises a meta-model bootstrap module, a model data operation protocol module, a model data release module and a model data processing plug-in module; the meta-model bootstrap module is used for realizing self-description of the model; the model data operation protocol module is used for providing data addition, modification or deletion service and providing standard rest interface service; the model data publishing module is used for publishing the data operation as a message after the data operation is finished; the model data processing plug-in module is used for providing plug-in registration, log-out and operation performance monitoring services; the system built-in plug-in module is used for providing plug-in service according to the plug-in configuration request of a user. According to the scheme, an industrial app developer can conveniently perform relational data modeling and object model modeling, and all data of a factory are converged and communicated by constructing the relationship among the data.

Through merging all data, the development efficiency of developers is improved, repeated labor is avoided, and the learning cost is reduced. And a developer can more conveniently model the data of the whole factory, and can efficiently extract, precipitate and abstract industrial knowledge.

The following process, implemented through one app development, describes the use of the unified modeling platform:

assuming that general app developers who develop apps based on the unified modeling platform of the present application are abstracting standard models in the cement industry, first, all models are created in the unified modeling platform through a data operation protocol, taking a simple warehouse model creation as an example, json describes the following operations:

because the platform unifies data and metadata, the app developer does not need to call various metadata creation interfaces to create the model, but only needs to care about the data operation protocol. Therefore, complexity of app development is reduced, and model expansibility is improved.

The platform packages the standard model of the cement industry into the app, and can complete the creation of the standard model of the cement industry by installing the app in the implementation stage.

An app developer of a certain cement group carries out customized development based on a general cement industry standard model so as to adapt to special requirements of the group, for example, the group has a uniform warehouse list number generation standard, and the app developer can expand model data types and add a warehouse list number data type. In the unified modeling platform, a plug-in can be developed, which first adds a new line of data in the data type meta-model: name: repo _ number, description: warehouse entry type. The published data operation message is then processed to populate the generated warehouse code with the corresponding field whose data type is repo _ number. Through the extension plug-in, all app developers can directly use the extension data type without paying attention to the warehouse list number generation logic, and the app development efficiency is improved. If a visual app configuration platform is combined, the data type is directly integrated into the configuration, so that low-code development is more efficient.

In a specific cement plant under the cement group, field engineering implementers can continue to perform customized development based on a group customized model to process special requirements of the cement plant, for example, fields are added to a warehouse model, and the fields are directly added to a logic field model in a unified modeling platform through a data operation protocol.

Through the unified modeling platform, an app developer can deposit common industry models and knowledge in each stage, and the development efficiency of the whole app can be greatly improved.

Additionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the unified modeling platform further includes an industry standard model and plug-in 30, as shown in FIG. 2.

Based on the industry standard model, in the app development platform, each company can deposit models in the own field, and the platform can also deposit standard models of each industry, so that the modeling efficiency of the whole platform can be greatly improved, and a user can rapidly complete modeling only by customizing the standard models. The modeling flexibility provided by the invention can enable the precipitation of the standard model to become more efficient.

In addition, in another embodiment of the present application, the unified modeling platform further includes a factory customized model and plug-in 40, as shown in FIG. 3.

After the app is developed, the corresponding model is implemented to a specific plant, and is customized according to the special condition of the plant. The model expansibility provided by the invention can efficiently meet the requirements of customizing the model.
