Abstract: A method for legacy-based access to non-legacy data includes: receiving, at an intermediation server, a non-legacy data object containing non-legacy content; generating a legacy data object containing the non-legacy content, for storage in a repository; storing, in association with the legacy data object, a non-legacy distribution channel indicator; adjusting a legacy processing mechanism at the repository according to the non-legacy distribution channel indicator; receiving from a client subsystem, via a legacy interface, a request for the non-legacy content; and in response to the request, retrieving and sending the legacy data object containing the non-legacy content, via the legacy interface.

Abstract: A method of aggregating and updating heterogeneous data objects for a client subsystem includes: storing a set of data object definitions, each defining a mapping between an aggregated data object format and a plurality of supplier data object formats; storing a set of update definitions, each defining a mapping between an aggregated update operation and a plurality of supplier update mechanisms; receiving a data object in a supplier data object formats; selecting, based on the supplier data object format of the received data object, a data object definitions and generating an aggregated data object according to the selected definition; presenting the generated aggregated data object to the client subsystem; receiving an aggregated update operation from the client subsystem for updating the aggregated data object; and selecting, based on the received aggregated update operation, one of the update definitions and initiating a supplier update mechanism according to the selected update definition.
