Systems and methods for dynamic hierarchical metadata storage and retrieval

Abstract:

Embodiments include a data platform for attribute management related to a key-attribute-value data store. An attribute repository comprises attributes grouped by classifications. A hierarchical object definition repository comprises a plurality of object definitions, each having associated classifications. Objects in an object repository are associated with definitions. An attribute value repository stores values for each attribute object pair. APIs can provide attribute metadata, and automatically generate forms based on object definitions. The data platform can provide a product data platform linking products, product offerings, trade items, and supply items.
