A method, system and article of manufacture for constructing queries that are executed against a database and, more particularly, for constructing queries capable of returning classified information related to data in a database. One embodiment includes receiving user input specifying a plurality of result fields for an abstract query. Each result field corresponds to a logical field specification of a data abstraction model abstractly describing the data in the database. The method further includes receiving user input selecting one of the plurality of result fields, and receiving user input specifying a classification definition for the selected result field. The classification definition is suitable for dividing data to be returned for the selected result field into a plurality of categories. Then, a classification field for the abstract query is generated on the basis of the selected result field and the classification definition. The classification field is included with the abstract query. The method further includes receiving a user request for execution of the abstract query against the database.

A method, system and article of manufacture for linking logical fields abstractly describing data in a database and, more particularly, for creating an abstract query using linked logical fields. One embodiment provides a method of linking logical fields abstractly describing data in a database. The method includes creating link information for a first logical field from the plurality of logical fields. The link information identifies at least one second logical field from the plurality of logical fields and an associated link type operation. The first and second logical fields are linked using the link information.

Methods, articles of manufacture and systems for managing execution of a multi-step workflow in which one or more steps are repeatedly executed on data of a database. One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving current input for execution of a step of the workflow on relevant data of the database, wherein the step has been previously executed on the relevant data using previous input identical to the current input and wherein the previous execution of the step produced previous output; determining whether the step is deterministic, whereby the step generates identical output for given input in repeated executions of the step on the relevant data; and, if the step is deterministic, returning the previous output produced during the previous execution of the step without re-executing the step.

The present invention generally is directed to a system, method and article of manufacture for accessing data independent of the particular manner in which the data is physically represented. In one embodiment, a data repository abstraction layer provides a logical view of the underlying data repository that is independent of the particular manner of data representation. A query abstraction layer is also provided and is based on the data repository abstraction layer. A runtime component performs translation of an abstract query into a form that can be used against a particular physical data representation.

Method, apparatus and article of manufacture for processing and storing medical episode data with workflow status designations. In one embodiment, a patient episode data is moved from differentiated data stores, via an information broker, to assigned data handlers. The data handlers then pass their respective data to a loader and shredder application. The shredder application is tasked with storing the episode data in the database repository and updating each episode's status.

Method, computer readable medium and computer system are provided for coordinating configuration changes among components in a multi-component environment. In one embodiment, a method for changing a configuration of a component in a multi-component environment is provided, the method comprising: receiving a configuration change request for the component; accessing a set of mediation rules which define component relationships in the multi-component environment; based on the received configuration change request and the mediation rules, determining whether one or more corresponding configuration changes are warranted in one or more other components in the multi-component environment; and if the one or more corresponding configuration changes are warranted, sending one or more configuration change notifications to the one or more other components; receiving one or more responses from the one or more other components regarding the one or more configuration change notifications; and sending a configuration change response to the component based on the one or more responses received from the one or more other components.

A method, system and article of manufacture for query building and, more particularly, for building query conditions for queries against data in a database. One embodiment comprises receiving user input for constructing a first query condition of a query. Then, user-selectable elements to display for constructing a second query condition of the query are identified. Which user-selectable elements are identified is dependent on the first query condition. The identified user-selectable elements for constructing the second query condition are displayed. Then, user selection of one or more of the displayed user-selectable elements for constructing the second query condition is received. The first and second query conditions define selection criteria for selection of a specific set of the data from the database. The selection criteria are programmatically modified in response to construction of the second query condition on the basis of one or more predefined modification rules, whereby the specific set of the data is altered.

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for enhancing abstract queries by utilizing conditional modifiers with logical fields are provided. Conditional modifiers allow for the referencing of multiple physical fields via a single logical field. Further, conditional modifiers facilitate the ability to specify, on an instance by instance basis, which physical field or combination of physical fields a particular logical field should reference.

A method, system and article of manufacture for processing queries that are executed against a database and, more particularly, for processing aggregation queries that are executed against a database. One embodiment provides a method of constructing queries selectively capable of returning aggregation information related to data in a database. The method comprises receiving user input specifying at least one result criterion for an abstract query comprising one or more logical fields, each corresponding to a logical field specification of a data abstraction model abstractly describing the data in the database, each result criterion corresponding to a logical field for which data is to be returned, receiving user input specifying selection criteria for the abstract query, receiving user input specifying an aggregation operation to be performed with respect to the at least one result criterion for generating aggregation information, and associating the at least one result criterion with the aggregation operation in a manner allowing user selection of whether to perform the aggregation operation with respect to the at least one result criterion without requiring user-made changes to the abstract query.

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are provided for enhancing abstract queries by utilizing logical fields with conditional constraints. Building abstract queries with logical fields configured with conditional constraints allows for optimized physical queries to be generated from corresponding abstract queries.
