GENERATING USER INTERFACES FOR MANAGING DATA RESOURCES

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that generates user interfaces for managing data resources. During operation, the system obtains a standardized schema for a data resource and an interface definition for an interface that accesses the data resource via a set of standard operations and one or more custom operations. Next, the system generates, based on the standardized schema and the interface definition, a user interface for managing the data resource using the set of standard operations and the one or more custom operations. The system then matches user input received through the user interface to an operation to be applied to a portion of the data resource. Finally, the system performs the operation by identifying the portion of the data resource in a call to the interface.
