Abstract

Methods and data processing apparatus, including computer program products, providing and implementing an integration framework for service providers, where a persistent object identifier object is used to provide a general reference to a persistent object of a service provider. A service provider has a service provider client, a service provider backend, and a service provider repository for storing service provider persistent objects. The service provider provides to its objects the services of storage of persistent objects in the service provider repository; visualization of objects in the service provider client, and access to objects in the service provider backend. The framework has a client framework and a backend framework. The client framework communicates directly with the backend framework, and the backend framework performs non-visual operations on the service provider backend.
