Abstract:

An apparatus includes a processor to: receive multiple normalized metadata portions based on metadata portions originating from vendor devices storing data sets of a distributed online library system; compare the multiple pieces of information between pairs of normalized metadata portions to identify at least one pair of identical portions of data; analyze the pieces of information of normalized metadata portions corresponding to an identified pair of identical portions of data to determine if there is a dependency relationship between each portion of data of the pair and another identical portion of data stored within another device; and in response to there being such a pair of dependency relationships, generate a visualization that includes a combination of graphical elements depicting the pair of dependency relationships, and transmit the visualization to the client device to enable a visual presentation of the visualization.

Abstract:

In a system to convert semantic layer metadata to support a database conversion, semantic layer information is read from a semantic layer file defined for an input database. The read semantic layer information is converted to converted semantic layer information using a metadata integration bridge. The converted semantic layer information is loaded as a model. Prologue code is written to a replication code file based on the loaded model. Data source information is identified from the loaded model. Data source information code is written to the replication code file based on the identified data source information. Epilogue code is written to the replication code file. Replication code stored in the replication code file is executed to create an information map. Data stored in the input database is accessed using the created information map.
