摘要:
Techniques for managing communication between businesses include defining a plurality of business context parameters associated with a first entity and a second entity; retrieving a first set of business requirements from a first entity and a second set of business requirements from a second entity based on the business context parameters; generating a message implementation guideline including one or more source elements associated with the first set of business requirements; receiving a second message implementation guideline including one or more target elements from the second entity; and generating a mapping guideline including mapping entities between the one or more source elements and the one or more target elements.

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing and maintaining an evolving canonical data model (CDM) which consolidates current knowledge of the correspondences of existing schemas. One computer-implemented method includes receiving the plurality of source hierarchical schemas, each source hierarchical schema being stored as a computer-readable document in computer-readable memory, processing, using a computer, the source hierarchical schemas to generate a merged graph, the merged graph comprising a plurality of merged nodes, each merged node being provided based on one or more nodes from at least two of the source hierarchical schemas, and determining, using the computer, that the merged graph includes one or more conflicts and, in response, resolving each conflict of the one or more conflicts to generate a computed-transitive-edge-free, conflict-free merged graph as a unified data model (UDM), wherein resolving comprises splitting one or more merged nodes into respective sub-sets of merged nodes.
摘要:
A method for building dictionary entry names for data elements of a canonical data model includes identifying candidate terms for the dictionary entry name of a node or equivalence class of the canonical data model. The method includes counting a frequency of occurrence of candidate terms in use and based on the use counts creating a candidate ordering of terms for the complete ordered dictionary entry name of the node or equivalence class. The method further includes validating the candidate ordering of terms for the complete ordered dictionary entry name of the node or equivalence class by comparison of the ordering with reliable dictionary entry name entries in a database and/or by usage counts in search engine results.
摘要:
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a data processing system having a business object model reflecting the data used during a business transaction. Consistent interfaces are generated from the business object model. These interfaces are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for user-guided multi-schema integration and include actions of receiving a plurality of schemas, each schema defining a data structure and including a plurality of intermediate elements and a plurality of leaf elements, receiving leaf correspondences that match leaf elements between schemas of the plurality of schemas, processing the plurality of schemas and the leaf correspondences using closed frequent itemset mining to define a first plurality of redundancy groups, each redundancy group including a proposed correspondence between intermediate elements of schemas, displaying the first plurality of redundancy groups to a user, receiving user input, the user input including one or more actions to one or more redundancy groups in the first plurality of redundancy groups, processing the plurality of schemas, the leaf correspondences and the one or more actions to define a second plurality of redundancy groups, and displaying the second plurality of redundancy groups.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for identifying matches between disparate schemas calculates a degree of similarity between elements of two schemas using each of multiple matching processes. The calculated degrees of similarity are combined using a first weighting vector to produce first combined degrees of similarity. The first weighting vector includes multiple weighting coefficients and each weighting coefficient corresponds to one of the matching processes. The weighting coefficients are tuned using information relating to a predicted degree of matching accuracy associated with the first weighting vector.
摘要:
Systems and methods for accessing multiple portals using a unique business language semantic are provided. Business information and services are provided to customers during, for example, a supply chain management process. An accessible business environment is provided which includes a common repository. The common repository has access to one or more business portals. One can search the product listing in the common repository using a browser, e.g., a web-based browser. In response to a search, one may be provided with a product list indicating some available business portals having the specific product and/or service. The common repository entries are described by a predetermined semantical description.
摘要:
A computer program for naming at least one of several data elements that can identify business information in a communication is described. Operations include associating a data element with an aggregate data element that includes one or more data elements. The data element is configured to have associated therewith an object class term that represents a logical grouping to which the data element belongs and a property term that represents a characteristic of the logical grouping. Also, the operations include selecting a data type that defines values that are valid for being assigned to the data element, wherein the data type includes a qualifier term that represents an additional semantic restriction describing the data type, and assigning the qualifier term to at least one of the property term and the object class term of the data element. The assignment is dependent upon a name of the aggregate data element.

Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for creating a mapping includes obtaining a definition relating to a first schema, the definition comprising a first plurality of nodes to be mapped to a second schema comprising a second plurality of nodes. The method includes receiving at least one context value for the received definition, the context value being associated with at least one context category defined for the second schema. The method includes generating names corresponding to each of the nodes in the first plurality, the generated names being consistent with a naming rule for the second schema. The method includes mapping each of the nodes in the first plurality to a respective one of the nodes in the second plurality, wherein the context value and at least one of the generated names are taken into account in the mapping.
摘要:
A method of providing translation of information between schemas in a computer system includes creating a first mapping from a first schema to an intermediary schema, wherein information having an intermediary schema format can be translated to a second schema using a second mapping. For any portion of the first schema that cannot be mapped to the intermediary schema, a direct mapping from the portion of the first schema to the second schema is created. A method of translating information includes mapping information having a first schema format to an intermediary schema format using a first mapping. The information having the intermediary schema format is mapped to a second schema format using a second mapping. For any portion of the information having the first schema format that cannot be mapped to the intermediary schema format, the portion is mapped to the second schema format using a direct mapping.
