Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically managing and utilizing the uniform labeling of data packages are disclosed. Specification information can describe many aspects of a data package, and can be analyzed to automatically identify various product attributes and service attributes usable to define the data package. Each of the individual product attributes and service attributes can be encoded into an alphanumeric code, which can be concatenated together to form a single uniform package identifier (UPID) usable to describe the associated data product. Systems and methods can automatically generate UPIDs, automatically find data packages based on search UPIDs, automatically process invoices based on UPIDs, and otherwise leverage the UPIDs to automate the collection, creation, selling, purchasing, trading, redistribution, and/or using of data packages.

Abstract: According to exemplary inventive practice, a transaction code is selected in an ERP system. The transaction code is characterized by cost elements that to a substantial degree entail OM&S costs. ERP reports are generated by drilling down from the cost elements to commitment costs, obligation costs, and actual costs, wherein drilling down from each cost element yields at least one of these three kinds of costs. Raw worksheets are generated in a spreadsheet program by importing data from the ERP reports, wherein each raw worksheet contains data from at least one ERP report. Data are derived from the raw worksheets and are combined and arranged to produce intermediate pivot tables, wherein each intermediate pivot table contains data from at least on raw worksheet. Data are derived from the intermediate pivot tables and are combined and arranged to produce a master worksheet. Data are derived from the master worksheet and are combined and arranged to produce summary pivot tables.
