Solution Overview

Problem

Existing classification systems, such as those based on the Dewey decimal system, are one-dimensional and lack rules-based approaches, limiting the structured and unstructured data's usability and analysis capabilities.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a domain-specific syntax with syntactic tagging, which involves establishing rules to manage and relate data entities within a domain, enabling the creation of domain-specific coordinate systems and allowing for the identification and contextualization of data entities through syntactic tags.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional one-dimensional classification systems (e.g., Dewey decimal system) are used, then simplicity and ease of implementation are maintained, but data dimensionality and analytical capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata dimensionalityVSAvoidclassification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by transforming traditional one-dimensional classification into multi-dimensional syntactic tagging. Each data entity is tagged with multiple syntactic tags representing different dimensions (e.g., subject, object, action, attribute), enabling comprehensive analysis across multiple axes simultaneously while maintaining systematic organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The classification system is segmented into distinct syntactic components (tags) that can be independently assigned to data entities. Each syntactic tag represents a specific dimensional attribute, allowing the system to break down complex classification into manageable, reusable tagging units that can be combined in various configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If rules-based domain-specific syntax is implemented, then data analysis and comparison capability are enhanced, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis efficiencyVSAvoidsyntax system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The syntactic tag system is designed as a universal framework applicable across multiple domains. The same syntactic tagging mechanism can classify data entities in different domains (e.g., biological, mechanical, organizational) by defining domain-specific syntax rules, eliminating the need for separate classification systems for each domain while maintaining high analysis efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables efficient data analysis by changing the parameter representation from traditional categorical classification to structured syntactic parameters. Each syntactic tag introduces specific parameters (e.g., subject type, object type, relationship type) that can be systematically queried, filtered, and analyzed, transforming unstructured data into parameterized information suitable for efficient computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If syntactic tagging is applied to unstructured data, then data structuration and usability are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata usabilityVSAvoidtagging processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary syntactic tagging during data ingestion or preprocessing stages, establishing the structured syntax framework before analytical operations. By pre-applying syntactic tags and organizing data according to domain-specific syntax rules upfront, the system eliminates the need for repeated structuring operations during subsequent analysis, reducing overall processing time despite the initial tagging investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This application relates generally to defining a domain-specific syntax characterizing a functional information system and performing operations on data entities represented by the domain-specific syntax, including defining a domain-specific syntax, receiving and storing a domain-specific data entity, assigning a syntactic tag to the domain-specific data entity, and electronically storing the tag assigned to the data entity in the electronic data store so that the tag is logically linked to the stored data entity.
