PROGRAMMATIC DATA DISCOVERY PLATFORMS FOR COMPUTING APPLICATIONS

摘要

Systems, methods and techniques for discovering, managing and/or representing data are described. In particular, systems and methods for acquiring, representing, and disseminating data independently of, for example, the nature of the data sources or the data storage infrastructure, are described. Such discovery, management and/or representation may be enabled by various manners of integration into pre-existing network architecture, enabled via system(s) or method(s) implemented remotely from pre-existing network architecture, and/or enabled via programmatic integration into existing computing applications such as Web applications.

1. A computer-implemented method for generating information abstracts performed under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, the method comprising:
receiving, in a programmatic manner, a request to generate one or more information abstracts, the request including a first data identifier associated with a first data asset of a first data source; receiving ancillary data associated with the first data asset from an intermediary application implemented between the one or more computer systems and the first data source; identifying a second data asset associated with the first data asset, the second data asset associated with a second data source; generating, based at least on the ancillary data, a first information abstract of the first data asset, the first information abstract comprising:
first metadata associated with the first data asset; andan access modality enabling a user to access a second information abstract corresponding to the second data asset; and returning, in a programmatic manner, the first information abstract.
