  • Publication number: 20250156160
    Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can provide support for auto-mapping of complex data structures, datasets or entities, between one or more sources or targets of data, referred to herein in some embodiments as HUBs. The auto-mapping can be driven by a metadata, schema, and statistical profiling of a dataset; and used to map a source dataset or entity associated with an input HUB, to a target dataset or entity or vice versa, to produce an output data prepared in a format or organization (projection) for use with one or more output HUBs.

  • Patent number: 12248768
    Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can provide data governance functionality such as, for example, provenance (where a particular data came from), lineage (how the data was acquired/processed), security (who was responsible for the data), classification (what is the data about), impact (how impactful is the data to a business), retention (how long should the data live), and validity (whether the data should be excluded/included for analysis/processing), for each slice of data pertinent to a particular snapshot in time; which can then be used in making lifecycle decisions and dataflow recommendations.

  • Patent number: 12147395
    Abstract: Techniques describes herein updating pipeline flows in within data systems to maintain data integrity and consistency without manual curation. In certain embodiments, data integration system may detect and/or receive indications of a schema change within a source system of the data integration system. One or more data objects affected by the schema change may be identified, and a set of pipeline rules may be invoked for each of the affected schema changes. The pipeline rules may define a single transformation or a multi-step transformation process by which the data in the source system is provided to one or more target systems. After applying the pipeline rules to the updated source schema, the data received from the source system may be processed using the updated pipeline rules, transformed, and transmitted to the target system(s) to maintain the data integrity of the system.

  • Patent number: 11537370
    Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can perform an ontology analysis of a schema definition, to determine the types of data, and datasets or entities, associated with that schema; and generate, or update, a model from a reference schema that includes an ontology defined based on relationships between datasets or entities, and their attributes. A reference HUB including one or more schemas can be used to analyze data flows, and further classify or make recommendations such as, for example, transformations enrichments, filtering, or cross-entity data fusion of an input data.
