Method for invoking UOML instructions
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for encapsulating Unstructured Operation Markup Language (UOML) into an Application Programming Interface (API), including: mapping an object of an UOML operation to a data type of a programming language, mapping the UOML operation to an API function prototype in the programming language, wherein an attribute or sub element of the UOML operation is mapped to a parameter of the API function prototype; wherein, when an API function is invoked, the API function issues a corresponding UOML operation instruction to a docbase management system according to the mapping relations; after an operation defined by the UOML operation instruction is executed by the docbase management system, the return result from the docbase management system is converted into a data type of the programming language by the API function. In this way, API functions in different programming languages, which correspond to the UOML, can be implemented, and the application developers of the programming languages may invoke suitable API functions directly to implement applications on the docbase management system, thus the development efficiency can be improved.
