APPLICATION-TO-REPOSITORY DATA MAPPING IN DATA REPOSITORIES, AND RELATED METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA

摘要

Application-to-repository data mapping in data repositories is disclosed herein. Related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed. In this regard, in one embodiment, a method for providing application-to-repository data mapping in a data repository is provided. The method comprises receiving, by a data repository, a definition of a named data object from an application. The method further includes generating a mapping of the named data object to a data element stored in the data repository. The method also comprises storing the mapping as application metadata in a predefined data structure in the data repository. The method additionally comprises providing, to the application, access to the data element based on the mapping of the named data object to the data element. The data repository thus provides a metadata architecture minimizing the impact of changes to the data repository, while also simplifying sharing of data among applications.
