Abstract

There is provided a system including a processor and a memory, storing an asset-data synthesis unit having a data translation module and a data integration module. The processor executes the asset-data synthesis unit to receive a first and a second domain specific asset description data being expressed using different descriptive vocabularies, translate the first and second domain specific asset description data to a common descriptive vocabulary to produce respective first and second common format asset description data, inferentially identify based on probabilistic inference that the first and second common format asset description data describe a same asset, integrate the first and second common format asset description data to produce an integrated asset description data describing the same asset, and generate a synthesized data describing the same asset and linking the integrated asset description data and the first and second domain specific asset description data.

Background

BACKGROUND

Asset classification and metadata governance systems have traditionally been structured as hierarchical taxonomies. Because such traditionally structured systems are static and fail to allow for dynamic data models, users of those systems typically encounter significant problems in terms of asset categorization, organization, and retrieval. Although the limitations imposed by these hierarchically structured taxonomies may be tolerable for a single data repository used in isolation, problems may become intractable when attempting to govern data across multiple independent data domains. For example, it becomes difficult and in some instances impracticable to resolve unique asset identifiers across systems and to govern vocabulary across the various domains.SUMMARY

There are provided asset-data integration systems and methods, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

21. An asset-data integration system comprising: a hardware processor and a system memory; an asset-data synthesis unit stored in the system memory, the asset-data synthesis unit including a data translation module and a data integration module; wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the asset-data synthesis unit to: receive a first and a second domain specific asset description data, the first and second domain specific asset description data being expressed using different descriptive vocabularies; translate the first and second domain specific asset description data to a common descriptive vocabulary to produce respective first and second common format asset description data; inferentially identify based on probabilistic inference that the first and second common format asset description data describe a same asset; integrate the first and second common format asset description data to produce an integrated asset description data describing the same asset; and generate a synthesized data describing the same asset, the synthesized data linking the integrated asset description data and the first and second domain specific asset description data. 27. A method for use by an asset-data integration system having a hardware processor, the method comprising: receiving, using the hardware processor, a first and a second domain specific asset description data, the first and second domain specific asset description data being expressed using different descriptive vocabularies; translating, using the hardware processor, the first and second domain specific asset description data to a common descriptive vocabulary to produce respective first and second common format asset description data; inferentially identifying, using the hardware processor, based on probabilistic inference that the first and second common format asset description data as describing a same asset; integrating, using the hardware processor, the first and second common format asset description data to produce an integrated asset description data describing the same asset; and generating, using the hardware processor, a synthesized data describing the same asset, the synthesized data linking the integrated asset description data and the first and second domain specific asset description data.
