Method and system for managing semantic and syntactic metadata
First Claim
1. A method for managing semantic and syntactic metadata, said method comprising:
- a processor of a computer system receiving heterogeneous data;
after said receiving, said processor capturing semantic metadata associated with said received heterogeneous data, said semantic metadata describing contextually relevant or domain-specific information about data based on an industry-specific or enterprise-specific metadata model or ontology;
after said receiving, said processor capturing syntactic metadata associated with said received heterogeneous data, said syntactic metadata including grammatical rules and structural patterns governing an ordered use of formats and arrangement pertaining to specified data;
said processor logically linking said received heterogeneous data and said captured semantic metadata and said syntactic metadata; and
said processor storing said heterogeneous data in a repository.

Abstract
A method and system for managing semantic and syntactic metadata. Heterogeneous data is received. After the heterogeneous data is received, the semantic metadata associated with the received heterogeneous data is captured and syntactic metadata associated with the received heterogeneous data is captured. The semantic metadata describes contextually relevant or domain-specific information about data based on an industry-specific or enterprise-specific metadata model or ontology. The syntactic metadata included grammatical rules and structural patterns governing an ordered use of formats and arrangement pertaining to specified data. The received heterogeneous data and said captured semantic metadata and said syntactic metadata are logically linked. The heterogeneous data is stored in a repository.
