System, Method, and Computer Program Products for Modeling Complex Hierarchical Metadata with Multi-Generational Terms - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18326085 titled 'System, Method, and Computer Program Products for Modeling Complex Hierarchical Metadata with Multi-Generational Terms

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method, system, and computer program for modeling business terms based on attributes and characteristics of a data source, specifically a payment processing system. The method involves the following steps:

  • Determining principal terms that represent the first attribute of the payment processing system.
  • Generating a variety of complex terms that include a principal term and represent the second attribute of the payment processing system.
  • Creating a logical model that includes relations between multiple generations of complex terms arranged in a hierarchical data structure.
  • Linking the logical model by mapping each physical data field of the payment processing system to a principal term or complex term in the logical model as metadata.
  • Automatically generating an interactive data dictionary for the payment processing system based on the physical data fields and their corresponding attributes.

This patent application aims to simplify the modeling of business terms in a payment processing system by creating a logical model that represents the attributes and characteristics of the system. By linking the physical data fields to the logical model, an interactive data dictionary can be automatically generated, providing a comprehensive reference for the payment processing system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, system, and computer program product is provided for modeling business terms based on attributes and characteristics of a data source. The method includes determining principal terms representing at least one first attribute of a payment processing system, generating a plurality of complex terms including a principal term and representing at least one second attribute of a payment processing system, generating a logical model of principal terms and complex terms, and comprising relations between multiple generations of complex terms arranged in a hierarchical data structure, linking the logical model by mapping each physical data field of a plurality of physical data fields to at least one of a principal term and a complex term in the logical model as metadata, and automatically generating an interactive data dictionary for the payment processing system based on each physical data field and corresponding attributes for metadata of physical data fields.
