Parsing unstructured data and loading into structured data schema
A computer system utility has been granted a patent for a method of loading semi-structured data into a data storage structure that can respond to structured queries. The system includes electronic processing devices and computer-readable media storing various rules and instructions. These rules guide the system in deriving a schema, creating a base layer, and generating a Single Subject Layer (SSL) based on the semi-structured data source. The system extracts tables and fields, generates unique identifiers, creates table create statements, and stores them in a schema definition file. It then creates base layer tables, maps field values, and generates SSL tables based on a mapping sheet, ultimately loading the data into the SSL tables.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to mapping field values, output files, data relationships, suspended record analysis, quality assurance analysis, and user interactions via a User Interface (UI). The system is designed to handle various types of semi-structured data sources such as XML, JSON, and COBOL files. It also allows for suspended record analysis to identify new fields and tables, as well as quality assurance analysis to ensure data accuracy. The SSL configuration file creation and SSL table creation code generation are based on user-selected subsets of base layer tables, enhancing user control and customization within the system. Overall, the patented computer system utility offers a comprehensive solution for efficiently loading semi-structured data into a structured data storage structure, enabling seamless querying and data management processes.
