Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for providing role-based resource navigation. An example method includes identifying a particular navigation intent from a user associated with a particular user role, the navigation intent representing an action associated with the particular business object; determining a particular target mapping associated with the particular navigation intent based at least in part on the particular user role, the target mapping associated with an application to be executed in response to identification of the associated navigation intent; and executing the application associated with the particular target mapping in response to determining the particular target mapping.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
identifying a particular navigation intent for a user associated with a particular user role from a selected uniform resource location (URL), the URL including a semantic object and an action, wherein the semantic object identifies at least one particular object and wherein the action comprises a representation of an action to be performed in association with the at least one particular object, wherein the action included in the URL identifies a navigation intent associated with the at least one particular object;
determining a particular target mapping associated with the particular navigation intent based at least in part on the particular user role, the target mapping associated with an application to be executed in response to identification of the associated navigation intent, wherein a first user role is associated with a first application and a second user role is associated with a second application; and
executing the application associated with the particular target mapping of the particular user role in response to determining the particular target mapping and the selected URL.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the particular navigation intent for the user comprises providing a set of relevant navigation intents associated with the particular object in response to a request for relevant navigation intents.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a set of relevant objects to which a particular action is associated in response to a request for relevant objects.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the particular target mapping comprises:
determining that two or more target mappings are associated with the particular navigation intent for the particular user role;
providing the two or more target mappings to the user; and
receiving the particular target mapping from the user, the particular target mapping selected from the two or more target mappings.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
storing the particular target mapping received from the user; and
executing the application associated with the stored target mapping in response to identifying an additional navigation intent from the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the semantic object includes a noun corresponding to the at least one particular object and the action includes a verb corresponding to the action associated with the at least one particular object.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the particular navigation intent for the user includes receiving a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request for the URL.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular user role includes multiple user roles and determining the particular target mapping is performed based at least in part on the multiple user roles.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one particular object comprises at least one particular business object.

10. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions operable when executed to cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying a particular navigation intent for a user associated with a particular user role from a selected uniform resource location (URL), the URL including a semantic object and an action, wherein the semantic object identifies at least one particular object and wherein the action comprises a representation of an action to be performed in association with the at least one particular object, wherein the action included in the URL identifies a navigation intent associated with the at least one particular object;
determining a particular target mapping associated with the particular navigation intent based at least in part on the particular user role, the target mapping associated with an application to be executed in response to identification of the associated navigation intent, wherein a first user role is associated with a first application and a second user role is associated with a second application; and
executing the application associated with the particular target mapping of the particular user role in response to determining the particular target mapping and the selected URL.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein identifying the particular navigation intent for the user comprises providing a set of relevant navigation intents associated with the particular object in response to a request for relevant navigation intents.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising providing a set of relevant objects to which a particular action is associated in response to a request for relevant objects.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein determining the particular target mapping comprises:
determining that two or more target mappings are associated with the particular navigation intent for the particular user role;
providing the two or more target mappings to the user; and
receiving the particular target mapping from the user, the particular target mapping selected from the two or more target mappings.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:
storing the particular target mapping received from the user; and
executing the application associated with the stored target mapping in response to identifying an additional navigation intent from the user.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 ,
wherein the semantic object includes a noun corresponding to the at least one particular object and the action includes a verb corresponding to the action associated with the at least one particular object.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein identifying the particular navigation intent for the user includes receiving a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request for the URL.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the particular user role includes multiple user roles and determining the particular target mapping is performed based at least in part on the multiple user roles.

18. A system comprising:
memory for storing data; and
one or more processors operable to perform operations comprising:
identifying a particular navigation intent for a user associated with a particular user role from a selected uniform resource location (URL), the URL including a semantic object and an action, wherein the semantic object identifies at least one particular object and wherein the action comprises a representation of an action to be performed in association with the at least one particular object, wherein the action included in the URL identifies a navigation intent associated with the at least one particular object;
determining a particular target mapping associated with the particular navigation intent based at least in part on the particular user role, the target mapping associated with an application to be executed in response to identification of the associated navigation intent, wherein a first user role is associated with a first application and a second user role is associated with a second application; and
executing the application associated with the particular target mapping of the particular user role in response to determining the particular target mapping and the selected URL.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein identifying the particular navigation intent from the user comprises providing a set of relevant navigation intents associated with the particular business object in response
