Publication number: 20200250159Abstract: Cross-matching of match indexes assigned to respective data sources can be performed. Each match index can store at least a portion of data from a subset of data records in the data source to which the match index is assigned. Such data can be stored in the match index as match index records. Responsive to identifying matches between match records of different match indexes, the data records in the data sources to which the match records correspond can be updated to add links between the respective data records.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Martin A.

Patent number: 10540383Abstract: An ontology is automatically generated for a set of data from multiple data sources. A semantic network of known concepts serves as an ontology template for a target domain of knowledge with known concepts defined as base entity types. Logical groupings of data and associated technical metadata are read from the data sources. Data discovery techniques are applied to detect semantic and/or syntactic classification of data attributes in the logical groupings of data. For each of the logical groupings of data, an entity type with properties for the data attributes are generated and the generated entity type is added to the semantic network with classifications of the properties as derived from the applied data discovery techniques. Semantic meanings of the generated entity types are generated and associated with other entity types within the semantic network and the semantic network is output as a resultant ontology for the set of data.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Cobbett, Jonathan Limburn, Martin Oberhofer, Scott Schumacher, Olena Woolf
