  • Patent number: 10248736
    Abstract: A method of managing data in a telecommunication network data structure is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a translation application executing on a telecommunication network computer system, a request to translate source data stored in a source data structure to a target data structure; identifying, by way of information stored in a taxonomy repository, a data store key within the source data; a category of an element of the source data; inferring, by way of information stored in the taxonomy repository a relationship between the data store key and the element; converting, by the translation application, a format of the data store key to a format of a target data store key, and a format of the element to a format of a target element. The method further comprises storing, by the translation application, the target data store key and the target element in the target data structure.
