Abstract

An interface in an attribute calculation module external to an enterprise receives a request for data from a computer associated with the enterprise. The processor determines attribute calculations from an attribute calculation rule set based on the request and calculates the determined attribute calculations on external data. The interface communicates the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise. The interface receives an attribute calculation update to the attribute calculation rule set from an attribute management module associated with the enterprise. The processor updates the attribute calculation rule set based on the attribute calculation update.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an interface in an attribute calculation module external to an enterprise operable to receive a request for data from a computer associated with the enterprise;

a processor communicatively coupled to the interface and operable to;

determine attribute calculations from an attribute calculation rule set based on the request; and

perform the determined attribute calculations on external data;

the interface is further operable to;

communicate a calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise; and

receive an attribute calculation update to the attribute calculation rule set from an attribute management module associated with the enterprise; and

the processor is further operable to update the attribute calculation rule set based on the attribute calculation update.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to:

determine translation rules from a translation rule set based on the request; and

translate external data to an attribute format based on the translation rules.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein:

the interface is further operable to receive a translation rule update to the translation rule set from the attribute management module; and

the processor is further operable to update the translation rule set according to the translation rule update.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to perform each of the attribute calculations on external data without user intervention.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the request for data includes a request for uncalculated data and a request for calculated data;

and

the processor is further operable to associate external data to the calculated external data.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the interface further operable to:

communicate the calculated external data to a governance team;

receive a transmission approval from the governance team; and

communicate the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving, by an interface in an attribute calculation module external to an enterprise, a request for data from a computer associated with the enterprise;

determining, by a processor, attribute calculations from an attribute calculation rule set based on the request;

performing, by the processor, the determined attribute calculations on external data;

communicating, by the interface, the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise;

receiving, by the interface, an attribute calculation update to the attribute calculation rule set from an attribute management module associated with the enterprise; and

updating, by the processor, the attribute calculation rule set based on the attribute calculation update.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

determining, by the processor, translation rules from a translation rule set based on the request; and

translating, by the processor, external data to an attribute format based on the translation rules.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving, by the interface, a translation rule update to the translation rule set from the attribute management module; and

updating, by the processor, the translation rule set according to the translation rule update.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein performing the determined attribute calculation rules includes performing each of the attribute calculations on external data without user intervention.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein the request for data includes a request for uncalculated data and a request for calculated data and further comprising associating, by the processor, external data to the calculated external data.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein communicating the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise comprises:

communicating, by the interface, the calculated external data to a governance team;

receiving, by the interface, a transmission approval from the governance team; and

communicating, by the interface, the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise.

13. Non-transitory computer readable medium comprising logic, the logic, when executed by a processor, operable to:

receive a request for data from a computer associated with the enterprise;

determine attribute calculations from an attribute calculation rule set based on the request;

perform the determined attribute calculations on external data;

communicate the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise;

receive an attribute calculation update to the attribute calculation rule set from an attribute management module associated with the enterprise; and

update the attribute calculation rule set based on the attribute calculation update.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the logic is further operable to:

determine translation rules from a translation rule set based on the request; and

translate external data to an attribute format based on the translation rules.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the logic is further operable to:

receive a translation rule update to the translation rule set from the attribute management module; and

update the translation rule set according to the translation rule update.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the logic is further operable to perform each of the attribute calculations on external data without user intervention.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the request for data includes a request for uncalculated data and a request for calculated data and the logic is further operable to associate external data to the calculated external data.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the logic is further operable to:

communicate the calculated external data to a governance team;

receive a transmission approval from the governance team; and

communicate the calculated external data to the computer associated with the enterprise.
