SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING DATA CELL TRANSFORMABLE TO MODEL OBJECT
First Claim
1. A method of extracting a model object from source data in a client, comprising:
- accessing a set of source data;
selecting at least a portion of the source data to extract at least one data element and at least one attribute of the source data; and
generating at least one model object based on the at least one extracted data element and at least one attribute of the selected data.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for extracting a data cell transformable to a model object. Aspects relate to object-based modeling using modeling objects that can be extracted from spreadsheet cells, database entries, or other sources. A modeling client can host modeling logic and an application programming interface (API) to create, access, manipulate, and import/export modeling objects used in modeling applications, such as engineering, medical, financial, and other modeling platforms. In aspects, the source data can be accepted into the modeling client from consumer or business-level applications, whose cell, database, or other data content can be extracted and encapsulated in object-oriented format, such as extensible markup language (XML) format. Modeling operations can therefore be performed on or incorporate data that was not originally strictly configured for object-based modeling applications. The extracted model object can also be exchanged with other applications or platforms.

10. A client system, comprising:
-
an interface to a set of source data; and a processor, communicating with the set of source data via the interface, the processor being configured to access the set of source data, select at least a portion of the source data to extract at least one data element and at least one attribute of the source data, and generate at least one model object based on the at least one extracted data element and at least one attribute of the selected data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
