20100250608 | CREATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-TENANT APPLICATION SERVICES - Systems and methods for providing application services to multiple tenants are provided. A data model is received from a new tenant. A database specific to the new tenant is created and stored in memory. The database may include one or more metadata tables. Other databases, each associated with another tenant, may also be stored in memory. The data model received from the new tenant may be stored in the created database that is specific to the new tenant. An application service may be provided to the new tenant based on the data model received from the new tenant and stored in the created database. In some embodiments, the data structures may be maintained in memory in a hierarchical manner. The hierarchy of the information resources may further correspond to a hierarchy of tenants. A library, for example, may be organized and shared in a hierarchical manner, in which a hierarchy of library resources may be shared among a defined group of tenants and/or subtenants. | 09-30-2010 |
