Abstract

An interface receives a request for data services from a consumer, wherein the consumer comprises one of a financial institution and a credit bureau and the request for data services comprises at least one of a request for financial data and a request for metadata. A processor determines whether the request requires data publication. When the request requires data publication, the processor extracts data from one of a plurality of domains, wherein the domain stores data and metadata associated with the financial institution. The processor automatically transforms the data into a standard format. The processor automatically extracts metadata associated with the data. The processor further automatically receives the data and the metadata from the interface. A memory is communicatively coupled to the processor and is operable to automatically store the data and the metadata, wherein the data and the metadata are stored separately. The processor links the consumer with the data. The interface communicates the data to the consumer.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an interface operable to receive a request for data services from a consumer, wherein the consumer comprises one of a financial institution and a credit bureau and the request for data services comprises at least one of a request for financial data and a request for metadata;

a processor communicatively coupled to the interface and operable to;

determine whether the request requires data publication;

when the request requires data publication;

extract data from one of a plurality of domains, wherein the domain stores the data and metadata associated with the financial institution;

automatically transform the data into a standard format;

automatically extract metadata associated with the data; and

automatically receiving the data and the metadata from the interface;

a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and operable to automatically store the data and the metadata, wherein the data and the metadata are stored separately;

the processor further operable to link the consumer with the data; and

the interface further operable to communicate the data to the consumer.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the interface is further operable to communicate the metadata to the consumer, the metadata providing information related to the data and the information comprises:

the consumer that requested the data;

the location of the data within the financial institution; and

each consumer who received the data.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the data publication further comprises encrypting the data, the encryption standardized for each consumer requesting data services.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data in a first format and the processor automatically transforms the data into the first format.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data at a predetermined interval.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor automatically determines whether information within the domain is updated and, when the information is updated, dynamically updating the published data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the published data comprises data received from two or more of the plurality of domains.

8. A method, comprising:

receiving, through an interface, a request for data services from a consumer, wherein the consumer comprises one of a financial institution and a credit bureau and the request for data services comprises at least one of a request for financial data and a request for metadata;

determining, by a processor, whether the request requires data publication;

when the request requires data publication;

extracting data, by the processor, from one of a plurality of domains, wherein the domain stores the data and metadata associated with the financial institution;

automatically transforming, by the processor, the data into a standard format;

automatically extracting, by the processor, the metadata associated with the data;

automatically receiving, through the interface, the data and the metadata; and

automatically storing, in a memory, the data and the metadata, wherein the data and the metadata are stored separately;

linking, by the processor, the consumer with the data; and

communicating, through the interface, the data to the consumer.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the interface is further operable to communicate the metadata to the consumer, the metadata providing information related to the data and the information comprises:

the consumer that requested the data;

the location of the data within the financial institution; and

each consumer who received the data.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the data publication further comprises encrypting the data, the encryption standardized for each consumer requesting data services.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data in a first format and the processor automatically transforms the data into the first format.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data at a predetermined interval.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the processor automatically determines whether information within the domain is updated and, when the information is updated, dynamically updating the published data.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the published data comprises data received from two or more of the plurality of domains.

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

receive a request for data services from a consumer, wherein the consumer comprises one of a financial institution and a credit bureau and the request for data services comprises at least one of a request for financial data and a request for metadata;

determine whether the request requires data publication;

when the request requires data publication;

extract data from one of a plurality of domains, wherein the domain stores the data and metadata associated with the financial institution;

automatically transform the data into a standard format;

automatically extract the metadata associated with the data;

automatically receive the data and the metadata; and

automatically store the data and the metadata, wherein the data and the metadata are stored separately;

link the consumer with the data; and

communicate the data to the consumer.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the logic is further operable to communicate the metadata to the consumer, the metadata providing information related to the data and the information comprises:

the consumer that requested the data;

the location of the data within the financial institution; and

each consumer who received the data.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the data publication further comprises encrypting the data, the encryption standardized for each consumer requesting data services.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data in a first format and the logic is further operable to automatically transforms the data into the first format.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the data services request comprises a request to receive the data at a predetermined interval.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the logic is further operable to automatically determine whether information within the domain is updated and, when the information is updated, dynamically updating the published data.

21. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the published data comprises data received from two or more of the plurality of domains.
