Abstract: A computer system and method for verifying a data lineage of a data element is provided. The system comprises at least processor and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the method. The method comprises extracting data transformation code from programming logic, extracting and describing data transformation semantics from the code using a data transformation ontology, filtering out non-business-significant transformations, and determining that remaining business-significant transformations match a business ontology.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assisting a user in applying a business process pattern. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method includes providing a graphical user interface (GUI) adapted for displaying a first representation of a business process and for allowing user editing of the business process. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving a user selection of a fragment of the business process as displayed in the first representation. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method includes calling a second representation of the business process, the second representation including a hierarchy of fragments of business process, and checking whether the fragment selected by the user corresponds to one of the fragments of the second representation. The computer-implemented method may also include instantiating a business process pattern using the selected fragment if the fragment selected corresponds. The selected fragment is re-usable within the business process pattern.

Abstract: An abstraction layer associates a party-focused object, a security-focused object, or both, with an abstraction object. The party-focused or security focused object has one or more properties. The properties are presented in the abstraction object defined by the mapping schema. The abstraction layer converts a set of repository objects to at least one abstraction object.
