  • Apparatus and method for combining discrete logic visual icons to form a data transformation block
    Patent number: 7900150
    Abstract: A method of constructing a data transformation block includes selecting a first discrete logic visual icon and a second discrete logic visual icon from a logic repository. A combination valid state is established when the first discrete logic visual icon can be combined with the second discrete logic visual icon. The first discrete logic visual icon and the second discrete logic visual icon are combined in response to the combination valid state to form a data transformation block. The data transformation block has a corresponding functional language source code description of the logical operations to be performed by the data transformation block. The data transformation block processes data to form transformed data. The data transformation block may be stored in the logic repository so that others can access it.

  • Apparatus and method for an extended semantic layer specifying data model objects with calculated values
    Publication number: 20080071799
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to define a semantic domain describing a data source. At least one base dimension is established as a data model object for the semantic domain. At least one base measure is specified as a data model object for the semantic domain. At least one of a calculated measure or a calculated dimension is described as a data model object for the semantic domain.

  • Apparatus and method for an extended semantic layer with multiple combined semantic domains specifying data model objects
    Publication number: 20080059413
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to define a first semantic domain and specify a second semantic domain. The first semantic domain and second semantic domain are combined to establish a third semantic domain. At least one base dimension is identified as a data model object for the third semantic domain. At least one base measure is formed as a data model object for the third semantic domain.
