Abstract: The invention relates to a method of retrieving attributes from at least two data sources (DS) by accessing the data source(s) (DS) identifying a number of attributes (A) of said data source(s) (DS), associating/assigning at least two attributes to a set of associated attributes (ASA), storing a retrieving profile (RP), according to which attributes (A) of the data sources may be retrieved. According to the invention, multiple data sources may be accessed by users having limited resources, such as time and money, as access may be established by means of a simple query, which may subsequently be effected by means of the stored retrieving profile.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products configured to collect attributes (A) from a plurality of potentially-incompatible data sources (DS), and synthesize collected attributes into a streamlined, elegant presentation e.g. for further data processing and/or review by a user are presented. The inventive concepts include accessing the data source(s); identifying a number of attributes of the data source(s); associating at least two attributes to a set of associated attributes; and storing a retrieving profile (RP) according to which attributes of the data sources may be subsequently retrieved. In more approaches, data source(s) may be accessed using a retrieving profile, and the retrieving profile is configured to access desired content thereof. In even more approaches, the retrieving profile may be further configured to automatically access a particular expected data structure (EDS) of the data source. The expected data structure may reflect a previous structure of the data source as recently accessed.
