The patent’s assignee for patent number 11120065 is
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Enterprise systems include servers, storage and associated software deployed in a large scale that may serve as an information technology infrastructure for businesses, governments, or other large organizations. Enterprise systems manage large volumes of data and are designed to offer and provide high levels of transaction performance and data security. These systems are also designed to support business processes, information flows, data analytics, and other functions. Enterprise systems include various individual system assets and resources. In the age of complexity of information, enterprise systems manage myriad data sources containing simple flat files and relational databases to unstructured and geo-spatial data. This, in turn, increases complexity of providing access to diverse data sources to consuming applications.”
As a supplement to the background information on this patent, NewsRx correspondents also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent: “An embodiment of the disclosure provides a method of integrating data across multiple data stores in a smart cache in order to provide data to one or more recipient systems. The method includes automatically ingesting diverse data from a plurality of data sources, automatically reconciling the ingested diverse data by updating semantic models based on the ingested diverse data, storing the ingested diverse data based on one or more classification of the data sources according to the semantic models, automatically generating scalable service endpoints which are semantically consistent according to the classification of the data sources, and responding to a call from the one or more recipient systems by providing data in the classification of the data sources.
“Another embodiment of the disclosure provides a non-transitory computer readable medium for integrating data across multiple data stores in a smart cache in order to provide data to one or more recipient systems. The non-transitory computer readable medium contains program instructions for causing a server to perform the method including: automatically ingesting diverse data from a plurality of data sources, automatically reconciling the ingested diverse data by updating semantic models based on the ingested diverse data, storing the ingested diverse data based on one or more classification of the data sources according to the semantic models, automatically generating scalable service endpoints which are semantically consistent according to the classification of the data sources, and responding to a call from the one or more recipient systems by providing data in the classification of the data sources.
“Yet another embodiment of the disclosure provides a system for integrating data across multiple data stores in a smart cache in order to provide data to one or more recipient systems. The system includes one or more databases storing semantic models and machine learning algorithms and one or more servers. The servers are configured to: automatically ingest diverse data from a plurality of data sources and automatically reconcile the ingested diverse data by performing one or more of: (a) updating semantic models based on the ingested diverse data, (b) structuring the ingested diverse data, wherein the structuring comprises realigning and reformatting data elements in the ingested diverse data into a standardized representation based on the semantic models, and © organizing the ingested diverse data, wherein the organizing comprises aligning the ingested diverse data to multiple structures within the semantic models. The servers are further configured to: store the ingested diverse data based on one or more classification of the data sources according to the semantic models, automatically generate scalable service endpoints which are semantically consistent according to the classification of the data sources, and respond to a call from the one or more recipient systems by providing data in the classification of the data sources.”
