  • Publication number: 20230122216
    Abstract: A highly secure file system stores and accesses files utilizing familiar hierarchical concepts for file storage (i.e. root directory, directory, file entry data, etc.), while at the same time hiding the actual path to access the desired file. A file may be stored and accessed at a data store node using a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) path comprising a unique, unidirectional relationship identifier that controls a requesting entity's access to the file system. The URI path may also comprise a “leaf” unique uniform identifier (UUID) derived from linkages between the hierarchical nodes superordinate to the data store node.

  • Patent number: 11531724
    Abstract: A highly secure database platform is entity-centric and entity-controlled. Posting, query and retrieval of a data is bound to unique, unidirectional relationship identifiers that control a requesting entity's access to documents pertaining to a targeted entity. Data is immutably mapped to entities and relationships. The platform is domain-partitioned, schema-agnostic and order-preserving. The invention presents a trusted platform or service which is readily adapted to data concerning people, groups, businesses, devices, and/or microservices.

  • Patent number: 7043687
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus and software for automatically transforming data between Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) formats. For generating EDI documents or messages, a source data model with EDI related data is received. Data is transferred from metadata elements of the source data model to variables of a virtual document, based on a mapping that has been previously made. Data assigned to the variables of the virtual document are then transferred to metadata elements of a target data model. An EDI document or message corresponding to the target data model is automatically created as a result, which includes data from the source document or message.
