Abstract

A method for context transfer for data storage is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from an analysis environment, a request to load a data item for analysis, creating, based on the request, a task request including context information of the data item, transmitting the task request to a data manager environment, receiving, from the data manager environment, an approval of the task request based on the context information, and loading the data item in a master data store in response to the approval.

Claims

1. A method for context transfer for data storage comprising:

receiving, from an first analysis environment, a first request to load the first data item for analysis;

creating, based on the first request, a first task request comprising first context information identifying a first characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the first data item within the first analysis environment;

receiving, from a second analysis environment, a second request to load the second data item for analysis;

creating, based on the second request, a second task request comprising second context information identifying a second characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the second data item within the second analysis environment;

transmitting the first task request and the second task request to a data manager environment;

comparing, by the data manager environment, the first context information identified in the first task request and the second context information identified in the second task request to determine a match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic of the one or more field objects;

determining, based on the match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic of the one or more field objects, a duplication between the first data item and the second data item;

generating, by the data manager in response to determining the duplication, a selected data item from the first data item and the second data item;

receiving, from the data manager environment, an approval to load the selected data item for the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment; and

loading, in response to the approval, the selected data item in a master data store for access and analysis by the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

analyzing the first context information to generate an alert; and

transmitting, prior to receiving the approval, the alert to the data manager environment,

wherein the approval is further based on the alert.

3. The method of claim 2,

wherein the alert indicates that a quality level of the first data item is below a threshold.

4. The method of claim 2,

wherein the alert indicates the duplication.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying a supplemental information list based on the first context information;

transmitting, prior to loading the selected data item, the supplemental information list to the data manager environment;

receiving, from the data manager environment, a selection of a supplemental data item based on the supplemental information list; and

further loading the supplemental data item in the master data store in response to the selection and the approval.

6. The method of claim 1,

wherein the first request is submitted by a user of the first analysis environment.

7. The method of claim 1,

wherein the request is generated by an application of the analysis environment, and

wherein the first context information identifies a context of the use of the first data item within the first analysis environment by identifying at least one selected from a group consisting of spatial information, project information, visualization configuration, user and project profile, and information of the application that are related to the first data item.

8. A system for context transfer for data storage comprising:

a master data store configured to store a plurality of data items;

a computer processor; and

a data management application executing on the computer processor and configured to;

receive, from an first analysis environment, a first request to load the first data item for analysis;

create, based on the first request, a first task request comprising first context information identifying a first characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the first data item;

receive, from a second analysis environment, a second request to load the second data item for analysis;

create, based on the second request, a second task request comprising second context information identifying a second characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the second data item;

transmit the first task request and the second task request to a data manager environment;

compare, by the data manager environment, the first context information identified in the first task request and the second context information identified in the second task request to determine a match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic;

determine, based on the match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic, a duplication between the first data item and the second data item;

generate, by the data manager in response to determining the duplication, a selected data item from the first data item and the second data item;

receive, from the data manager environment, an approval to load the selected data item for the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment; and

load, in response to the approval, the selected data item in the master data store for access and analysis by the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment.

9. The system of claim 8, the data management application further configured to:

analyze the first context information to generate an alert; and

transmit, prior to receiving the approval, the alert to the data manager environment,

wherein the approval is further based on the alert.

10. The system of claim 9,

wherein the alert indicates that a quality level of the first data item is below a threshold.

11. The system of claim 9,

wherein the alert indicates the duplication.

12. The system of claim 8, the data management application further configured to:

identify a supplemental information list based on the first context information;

transmit, prior to loading the selected data item, the supplemental information list to the data manager environment;

receive, from the data manager environment, a selection of a supplemental data item based on the supplemental information list; and

further load the supplemental data item in the master data store in response to the selection and the approval.

13. The system of claim 8,

wherein the first request is submitted by a user of the first analysis environment.

14. The system of claim 8,

wherein the request is generated by an application of the analysis environment, and

wherein the first context information identifies a context of the use of the first data item within the first analysis environment by identifying at least one selected from a group consisting of spatial information, project information, visualization configuration, user and project profile, and information of the application that are related to the first data item.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code for:

receiving, from an first analysis environment, a first request to load the first data item for analysis;

creating, based on the first request, a first task request comprising first context information identifying a first characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the first data item;

receiving, from a second analysis environment, a second request to load the second data item for analysis;

creating, based on the second request, a second task request comprising second context information identifying a second characteristic of the one or more field objects related to the second data item;

transmitting the first task request and the second task request to a data manager environment;

comparing, by the data manager environment, the first context information identified in the first task request and the second context information identified in the second task request to determine a match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic;

determining, based on the match between the first characteristic and the second characteristic, a duplication between the first data item and the second data item;

generating, by the data manager in response to determining the duplication, a selected data item from the first data item and the second data item;

receiving, from the data manager environment, an approval to load the selected data item for the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment; and

loading, in response to the approval, the selected data item in a master data store for access and analysis by the first analysis environment and the second analysis environment.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising computer readable program code for:

analyzing the first context information to generate an alert; and

transmitting, prior to receiving the approval, the alert to the data manager environment,

wherein the approval is further based on the alert.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16,

wherein the alert indicates low quality of the first data item.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16,

wherein the alert indicates the duplication.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising computer readable program code for:

identifying a supplemental information list based on the first context information;

transmitting, prior to loading the selected data item, the supplemental information list to the data manager environment;

receiving, from the data manager environment, a selection of a supplemental data item based on the supplemental information list; and

further loading the supplemental data item in the master data store in response to the selection and the approval.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15,

wherein the request is generated by an application of the analysis environment, and
