Data augmentation based on second-phase metadata

摘要

A data augmentation machine may form all or part of a data augmentation system that is configured to augment data. The data augmentation machine may be configured (e.g., by one or more software modules) to access data (e.g., by crawling one or more public or private networks), extract metadata based on the data (e.g., from the data and its source), create a link to additional data (e.g., based on the extracted metadata), and augment the extracted metadata (e.g., by storing augmented metadata with the extracted metadata). Such augmented metadata may be presented (e.g., within a user interface), published publicly (e.g., on a webpage), published privately (e.g., in a report available only to premium subscribers of a data augmentation service), or any suitable combination thereof.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing first data from a first data source accessible via a network; extracting first-phase metadata of the first data, the first-phase metadata being extracted from the first data and from the first data source; creating a link from the first data to second data available from a second data source, the link being created by application of a template to the extracted first-phase metadata of the first data, the application of the template including accessing a lookup table that corresponds to a data type of the first data and identifying the second data from the lookup table,
the creating of the link being performed by a processor of a machine; determining second-phase metadata of the first data, the second-phase metadata being determined based on the created link from the first data to the second data by accessing the second data source; and storing the second-phase metadata of the first data, the second-phase metadata being stored as augmented metadata of the first data.
