GENERATING DATA PATTERN INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method, including:
- storing, in a data storage system, at least one dataset including a plurality of records; and
processing, in a data processing system coupled to the data storage system, the plurality of records to produce codes representing data patterns in the records, the processing including;
for each of multiple records in the plurality of records, associating with the record a code encoding one or more elements, wherein each element represents a state or property of a corresponding field or combination of fields as one of a set of element values, and, for at least one element of at least a first code, the number of element values in the set is smaller than the total number of data values that occur in the corresponding field or combination of fields over all of the plurality of records in the dataset.

Abstract
A data storage system stores at least one dataset including a plurality of records. A data processing system, coupled to the data storage system, processes the plurality of records to produce codes representing data patterns in the records, the processing including: for each of multiple records in the plurality of records, associating with the record a code encoding one or more elements, wherein each element represents a state or property of a corresponding field or combination of fields as one of a set of element values, and, for at least one element of at least a first code, the number of element values in the set is smaller than the total number of data values that occur in the corresponding field or combination of fields over all of the plurality of records in the dataset.

18. A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program including instructions for causing a computer system to:
-
store, in a data storage system, at least one dataset including a plurality of records; and process, in at least one processor of the computer system coupled to the data storage system, the plurality of records to produce codes representing data patterns in the records, the processing including; for each of multiple records in the plurality of records, associating with the record a code encoding one or more elements, wherein each element represents a state or property of a corresponding field or combination of fields as one of a set of element values, and, for at least one element of at least a first code, the number of element values in the set is smaller than the total number of data values that occur in the corresponding field or combination of fields over all of the plurality of records in the dataset.

19. A system, the system including:
-
a data storage system configured to store at least one dataset including a plurality of records; and a data processing system, coupled to the data storage system, configured to process the plurality of records to produce codes representing data patterns in the records, the processing including; for each of multiple records in the plurality of records, associating with the record a code encoding one or more elements, wherein each element represents a state or property of a corresponding field or combination of fields as one of a set of element values, and, for at least one element of at least a first code, the number of element values in the set is smaller than the total number of data values that occur in the corresponding field or combination of fields over all of the plurality of records in the dataset.

20. A system, the system including:
-
means for storing at least one dataset including a plurality of records; and means for processing the plurality of records to produce codes representing data patterns in the records, the processing including; for each of multiple records in the plurality of records, associating with the record a code encoding one or more elements, wherein each element represents a state or property of a corresponding field or combination of fields as one of a set of element values, and, for at least one element of at least a first code, the number of element values in the set is smaller than the total number of data values that occur in the corresponding field or combination of fields over all of the plurality of records in the dataset.
