Innovation Solution

A curated portable datamart system that includes a semantic layer to generate client-specific rules, a security and client context layer for authorization, and an API to manage client queries, enabling the generation of curated data deliverables on demand, ensuring data security and portability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional centralized enterprise warehouses are used for data curation, then data quality and security can be ensured, but the solution becomes costly and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized enterprise warehouse into multiple virtual datamarts, each serving specific clients or purposes. This segmentation allows data to be organized into smaller, manageable units that can be independently curated and accessed, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining data quality through specialized handling in each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a data curation layer as an intermediary between the raw data warehouse and end users. This layer handles data transformation, enrichment, and delivery, isolating the complexity of data management from both the source system and consumers, thereby simplifying the overall architecture while ensuring data quality through controlled processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional centralized enterprise warehouses are used for data curation, then data security can be ensured, but operational costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidoperational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service capabilities where clients can independently access and query their designated virtual datamarts without requiring extensive centralized management intervention. This reduces operational overhead and costs while maintaining security through pre-configured access controls and data isolation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates virtual copies of data subsets for different clients rather than providing direct access to the entire centralized warehouse. These virtual datamarts are lightweight replicas that maintain data security through isolation, reducing the cost of security management while preserving the security benefits of centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If traditional centralized enterprise warehouses are used, then data can be curated, but the ability to integrate client-specific data and reporting is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata curation capabilityVSAvoidclient-specific integration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing each virtual datamart according to specific client requirements and data needs. Each client receives a tailored data environment with relevant schemas, access controls, and reporting capabilities, while the overall system maintains standardized data curation processes, thus achieving both reliable curation and high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal data curation platform that can serve multiple clients with different requirements through virtual datamarts. The underlying infrastructure and curation processes are universal and reusable, while the virtual layers adapt to specific client needs, providing both reliable standardized curation and versatile client-specific integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Reliability

If centralized enterprise warehouses are used, then data can be stored, but portability of data solutions is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capabilityVSAvoiddata portability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts specific data subsets from the centralized warehouse and packages them into portable virtual datamarts for individual clients. This extraction allows data to be stored reliably in the centralized system while simultaneously providing portable, client-specific data environments that can be independently managed and potentially migrated, thus improving portability without sacrificing storage capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A curated portable datamart system, method, and apparatus are provided. The method, implemented by one or more processors, comprises: invoking a security and client context layer to authorize a client to access an individual-specific raw data that is specific to a client query, the security and client context layer stored on the one or more computer memories and comprising computing instructions configured to access a semantic layer; responsive to authorizing the client query, invoking the semantic layer to curate the individual-specific raw data to generate a curated data deliverable, the curated data deliverable comprising temporal data generated from one or more raw data items accessed by the semantic layer; and outputting, via the API, the curated data deliverable, wherein the semantic layer is stored on the one or more computer memories and comprises computing instructions configured to generate temporal data from the one or more raw data items.
