Schema Generation for Integration Mapping Tasks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large schemas in integration systems lead to long processing times and inefficient user interface experiences due to the need for complete schema generation and transfer, making mapping tasks cumbersome and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A method that generates a modified schema by analyzing historical mappings to identify frequently used mappings, removing unnecessary portions, and providing only the most commonly used properties and metadata, thus reducing schema size and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If complete schemas are provided for all sources and target objects, then mapping accuracy is improved, but processing time and data transfer time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary portions of schemas that are actually needed for the mapping task at hand, rather than providing complete schemas. This is achieved by analyzing historical mappings to identify commonly used properties and metadata, then generating modified schemas that contain only those essential elements, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining mapping accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complete schema into multiple parts based on historical usage patterns. By dividing the schema into commonly used portions and less frequently used portions, the system can provide only the relevant segments for each mapping task, reducing overall processing time while preserving the accuracy needed for successful mappings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complete schemas are transferred over HTTPS, then all possible mapping options are available, but data transfer time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transfers only the essential portions of schemas that are actually needed for the specific mapping task, based on historical analysis. This reduces the size of data transferred over HTTPS while maintaining adaptability by including all commonly used mapping options that have been proven effective in historical mappings.
3Adaptability or versatility
If large schemas with many hierarchical levels are presented in UI, then complete mapping capabilities are provided, but user experience and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and presents only the relevant portions of schemas in the user interface, based on historical mapping analysis. This removes unnecessary hierarchical levels and properties from the UI display, making the interface more manageable and easier to navigate while preserving complete mapping capabilities through the modified schema that includes all commonly used mapping options.
4Adaptability or versatility
If complete schemas are processed before UI rendering, then all mapping properties are available, but pre-processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential properties and metadata needed for UI rendering based on historical mapping patterns. This reduces the pre-processing time required before UI rendering by eliminating unnecessary schema elements, while maintaining adaptability by including all commonly used mapping properties that users are likely to need.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide concepts for a method for generating a schema describing a first node for performing mapping tasks. The method comprises obtaining an output schema for the first node. The method further comprises extracting, from the output schema, configuration data for the first node, wherein the configuration data includes an object and an action associated with the first node. The method further comprises analyzing a dataset of historical mappings to identify previous mappings that reference the object, or the action associated with the first node. The method further comprises generating a modified output schema describing the first node based, at least in part, on the identified previous mappings and the output schema, wherein the modified output schema is devoid of at least one portion of output schema.
