Data transformations with metadata
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computer based system, metadata that describes a proposed logic;
looking up, by the computer based system, metadata that describes an existing logic in a metadata store;
comparing, by the computer based system, the metadata of the proposed logic to the metadata of the existing logic to determine that the proposed logic is new;
applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic to a source variable to generate a requested output variable;
returning, by the computer based system, at least one of an existing output variable, a location of the existing output variable, or a copy of the existing output variable rather than a newly derived of the requested output variable; and
applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic for the requested output variable to the source variable.

Abstract
A system may receive a request to derive an output variable from a source variable. The request may include proposed logic to derive the output variable from the source variable. The system may then compare the proposed logic to existing logic to determine the proposed logic is new. In response to the proposed logic being new, the system may generate transformation code configured to execute the proposed logic. The system may further schedule the transformation code for execution at a predetermined time, and then execute the transformation code to generate data for the output variable.

16. A computer-based system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause a computer based system to perform operations comprising; generating, by the computer based system, metadata that describes a proposed logic; looking up, by the computer based system, metadata that describes an existing logic in a metadata store; comparing, by the computer based system, the metadata of the proposed logic to the metadata of the existing logic to determine that the proposed logic is new; applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic to a source variable to generate a requested output variable; returning, by the computer based system, at least one of an existing output variable, a location of the existing output variable, or a copy of the existing output variable rather than a newly derived of the requested output variable; and applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic for the requested output variable to the source variable. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor of a computer based system, cause the computer based system to perform operations comprising:
-
generating, by the computer based system, metadata that describes a proposed logic; looking up, by the computer based system, metadata that describes an existing logic in a metadata store; comparing, by the computer based system, the metadata of the proposed logic to the metadata of the existing logic to determine that the proposed logic is new; applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic to a source variable to generate a requested output variable; returning, by the computer based system, at least one of an existing output variable, a location of the existing output variable, or a copy of the existing output variable rather than a newly derived of the requested output variable; and applying, by the computer based system, the proposed logic for the requested output variable to the source variable.
