SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR EXCHANGING AND PROCESSING DATA MEASURES AND OBJECTS

摘要

This disclosure in part describes systems, devices, and methods for exchanging and processing data measures and objects to enable collaboration between systems through network interfaces. In one embodiment, multiple systems communicate with one another via a computer network using communication objects, which can reduce disconnection inefficiencies in network communication between the multiple systems. The generation, transmission, and processing of such communication objects enables an ecosystem of networked systems to dynamically be created, supported, and evolve so as to facilitate improved collaboration between organizations utilizing the networked systems. The communication objects additionally enable the communication of data between systems with a limited number of user inputs.

1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating collaboration between users of a plurality of user terminals around a data measure mapped to a multi-dimensional data model, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computer system comprising hardware circuitry, a first communication object via a computer network from a first server, the first communication object comprising (i) first data measures mapped to a first multi-dimensional data model configured for access by online analytical processing (OLAP) applications, (ii) parameters indicative of coordinates of a plurality of data dimensions of the first multi-dimensional data model that uniquely identify the first data measures within the first multi-dimensional data model, and (iii) first instructions for automatically exchanging with other objects data including the first data measures; retrieving, by the computer system, a second data measure from an electronic data storage in communication with the computer system according to coordinates of a plurality of data dimensions of a second multi-dimensional data model that uniquely identify the second data measure within the second multi-dimensional data model, the second multi-dimensional data model configured for access by the OLAP applications; determining, by the computer system, an output data measure using the second data measure and at least one of the first data measures; generating, by the computer system, a second communication object comprising (i) the output data measure, (ii) a parameter indicative of coordinates of a plurality of data dimensions of a second multi-dimensional data model that uniquely identify the output data measure within the second multi-dimensional data model, and (iii) second instructions for automatically exchanging with the other objects data including the output data measure; and transmitting, by the computer system, the second communication object via the computer network to a second server, wherein receipt of the second communication object by the second server causes the second server to determine another output data measure using the output data measure and a third data measure retrieved from another electronic data storage in communication with the second server, the third data measure retrieved according to coordinates of a plurality of data dimensions of a third multi-dimensional data model that uniquely identify the third data measure within the third multi-dimensional data model, the third multi-dimensional data model configured for access by the OLAP applications.
