  • Patent number: 10860598
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven business intelligence systems including event-oriented data in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In one embodiment, an interest-driven business intelligence system includes raw data storage configured to contain raw data and perform ETL processes, a data mart configured to contain metadata that describes the raw data, and an intermediate processing layer, wherein the intermediate processing layer is configured to compile an interest-driven data pipeline configured to generate ETL processing jobs to generate event-oriented data from the raw data by filtering the raw data based on the metadata describing the raw data, determining ordering data based on the metadata describing the raw data, aligning the filtered raw data based on the ordering data, and generating event-oriented data based on the aligned filtered raw data, and storing the event-oriented data in the data mart.

  • Patent number: 10817534
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven data visualization systems are illustrated. The system includes a processor and a memory configured to store an interest-driven data visualization application. The application configures the processor to obtain reporting data including a plurality of datasets from an interest-driven business intelligence server system; generate visualization rendering data for the datasets based on associations between visualization metadata and the datasets; and generate visualization image data based on the visualization rendering data. The visualization image data is displayable using and includes visual representations of at least a portion of the reporting data. Pieces of the visualization image data correspond to master and slave visualizations.
