SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING SCHEMAS THAT REPRESENT MULTIPLE DATA SOURCES
First Claim
1. A method for generating a negotiated schema for multiple data sources, the method comprising:
- determining a schema for each of the multiple data sources via a computing device communicatively couplable with each of the multiple data sources, each of the multiple data sources including one or more data structures that define how data is stored in the data source;
generating a negotiated schema by;
comparing the schemas of the multiple data sources to one another; and
interrelating data points of the multiple data sources that correspond to one another;
interrelating the negotiated schema with the schema for each of the multiple data sources based upon the interrelation of the data points; and
storing the negotiated schema in a storage media by way of the computing device.

Abstract
Systems and methods generating schemas that represent multiple data sources are provided herein. According to some embodiments, methods may include determining a schema for each of the multiple data sources via a computing device communicatively couplable with each of the multiple data sources, each of the multiple data sources including one or more data structures that define how data is stored in the data source, generating a negotiated schema by comparing the schemas of the multiple data sources to one another and interrelating data points of the multiple data sources based upon the schemas, interrelating the negotiated schema with the schema for each of the multiple data sources based upon the interrelation of the data points, and storing the negotiated schema in a storage media by way of the computing device.

11. A system for generating a negotiated schema for multiple data sources, the system comprising:
-
a memory for storing executable instructions; a processor for executing the instructions, the instructions including; an interrogation module that determines a schema for each of the multiple data sources, each of the multiple data sources including one or more data structures that define how data is stored in the data source; and a schema generator that generates a negotiated schema by; comparing the schemas of the multiple data sources to at least one of one another and one or more pre-existing schemas; and interrelating data points of the multiple data sources that correspond to one another; and interrelating the negotiated schema with the schema for each of the multiple data sources based upon the interrelation of the data points; and stores the negotiated schema in a storage media. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage media having a program embodied thereon, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for generating a negotiated schema for multiple data sources, the method comprising:
-
determining a schema for each of the multiple data sources via a computing device communicatively couplable with each of the multiple data sources, each of the multiple data sources including one or more data structures that define how data is stored in the data source; generating a negotiated schema by; comparing the schemas of the multiple data sources to one another; and interrelating data points of the multiple data sources that correspond to one another; and interrelating the negotiated schema with the schema for each of the multiple data sources based upon the interrelation of the data points; and storing the negotiated schema in a storage media by way of the computing device.
