Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method for organizing and accessing a large amount of data using a computer system. The data is collected from various sources and is organized into standardized formats based on its type. The computer system includes multiple classification engines that generate classifications for the data. Users can input queries in a standardized format, and the system quickly queries the data to provide relevant results. The technical effects of this method include improved data management and access, better data organization, and efficient data processing.

Problems solved by technology

However, often there is a large amount of additional data, or metadata, that exists and is accessible by a business, but which is ignored because, for example, the data is difficult to access or the business is unaware that the metadata exists or can be obtained from the data to which the business currently has access.
However, the business may not be able to easily extract this information from the data available because, for example, to determine the time spent per dollar earned may require accessing a number of separate systems and performing some amount of data mining or additional processing.

example implementation

of a BIM System

[0036]FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of an implementation of the BIM system 130. As previously described above, the BIM system 130 can include a data collection system 132 configured to, among other things, collect data from the internal data sources 120 and / or the external data sources 122. The data collection system 132 can include a collection engine 202, an access manager 204, a business logic engine 206, and a business logic security manager 208.

[0037]Generally, the collection engine 202 may access the internal data sources 120 thereby providing the BIM system 130 with access to data that is stored by or generated by the internal data sources 120. This data can include any data that may be created, accessed, or received by a user or in response to the actions of a user who is associated with the computing environment 102. Further, in some embodiments, the collection engine 202 can access the external data sources 122 thereby providing the BIM system 130 with ac...

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes maintaining, by a computer system, a plurality of data and at least one classification for each of the plurality of data. Each data of the plurality of data is aggregated from a plurality data sources and is abstracted into one or more of a plurality of standardized formats based on a type of the data. The computer system has executing thereon a plurality of classification engines. The plurality of classification engines include an a priori classification engine, an a posteriori classification engine, and a heuristics engine. Each at least one classification is generated by one of the plurality of classification engines. In addition, the method includes receiving query input from a user. Further, the method includes querying at least a portion of the plurality of data responsive to the query input.
