TRADING PARTNER RELATIONSHIP GRAPH FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE PLATFORM

摘要

An information exchange platform referred to as a Trading Grid (TG) may perform relationship-based data processing utilizing a trading partner (TP) graph that describes relationships amongst operating units (OUs) on the TG. When the TG receives a request from an OU to exchange data with a TP, the TG accesses the TP graph and determines a relationship between the OU and their TP as reflected in the TP graph. The TP graph is maintained and controlled by the system independently of the OU and the TP. The TG may route the data based on instructions associated with the relationship that is reflected in the TP graph. The instructions associated with the relationship may specify network based services provided by the TG. An orchestration component may operate to orchestrate the performance of the network based services. The TG then communicates the processed and/or produced data to the TP.

主权项

1. A relationship-based data processing method, comprising:
receiving a request from a user associated with an operating unit to exchange data with an information trading partner of the operating unit, wherein the request is received by a system operating on an information exchange platform over a network from a client device associated with the user, the system comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by the at least one processor; the system determining, utilizing a trading partner graph, a relationship between the operating unit and the information trading partner, wherein the trading partner graph is maintained and controlled by the system independently of the operating unit and the information trading partner of the operating unit; the system routing the data to at least one system component based on the relationship; the at least one system component processing the data or producing additional information based on instructions associated with the relationship that is reflected in the trading partner graph; and the system communicating the data thus processed or the additional information thus produced to the information trading partner of the operating unit.
