Analytics integration workbench within a comprehensive framework for composing and executing analytics applications in business level languages

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program executable to perform an operation for composing an analytics solution in an enterprise analytics framework, the operation comprising:

• by an analytics integration workbench of the enterprise analytics framework, when executed by operation of one or more computer processors, the analytics integration workbench including the program:
• receiving a selection of one or more elements listed in a glossary to include in the analytics solution, wherein the glossary is provided by an analytics information and services directory of the enterprise analytics framework, wherein each of the selected elements is associated with a respective mapping specifying a function invoked to move data from one or more underlying data sources to a target data store, wherein the elements listed in the glossary identify data resources that are available from within an enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the elements listed in the glossary identify the data resources independently from the underlying data sources, wherein at least one of the underlying data sources comprises a real time data feed available from within the enterprise network infrastructure;
• receiving a selection of one or more analytics tools listed in the glossary to include in the analytics solution, wherein each of the selected analytics tools is associated with a respective mapping specifying an implementation of the respective each analytics tool provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the analytics tools listed in the glossary identify analytics methods independently from the implementation of the one or more analytics tools provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein one or more of the analytics methods are performed to evaluate risks associated with the data moved to the target data store;
• receiving a selection of one or more of the selected elements from the glossary to provide as inputs to one or more of the selected analytics tools;
• generating a graphical representation of each selected element from the glossary and each selected analytics solution, wherein the graphical representation comprises a directed graph that represents a data flow for the analytics solution;
• and
• traversing the directed graph in order to generate a script encoding of the analytics solution, whereafter the script encoding is executed by an analytics integration server of the enterprise analytics framework to evaluate the data moved to the target data store using the selected analytics tools in order to determine a measure of risk associated with the data;
• wherein the analytics solution is expressed in a business level language, wherein the analytics solution is executed by the analytics integration server, wherein executing the analytics solution comprises:
• receiving the script encoding, wherein the script encoding includes a plurality of references to elements listed in the glossary, the glossary comprising a business glossary;
• and
• identifying one or more statements in the script encoding ready for execution,
• wherein executing the analytics solution further comprises:
• dereferencing, in the identified one or more statements, each reference to elements from the business glossary, wherein at least a first reference is to an element in the business glossary associated with a mapping specifying the function invoked to move data from the one or more underlying data sources to the target data store, wherein at least a second reference is to at least one of the one or more analytics tools listed in the business glossary and configured to operate on the moved data, wherein the second reference is associated with a mapping specifying an instantiation of a first mapped analytics tool that is provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the analytics tools listed in the business glossary identify analytics methods available from within the enterprise network infrastructure independently from the analytics tools used to provide the analytics methods.

A system to compose an analytics solution in an enterprise analytics framework, the system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a memory containing a program which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, performs an operation comprising:
• by an analytics integration workbench of the enterprise analytics framework, when executed by operation of one or more computer processors, wherein the analytics integration workbench includes the program:
• receiving a selection of one or more elements listed in a glossary to include in the analytics solution, wherein the glossary is provided by an analytics information and services directory of the enterprise analytics framework, wherein each of the selected elements is associated with a respective mapping specifying a function invoked to move data from one or more underlying data sources to a target data store, wherein the elements listed in the glossary identify data resources that are available from within an enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the elements listed in the glossary identify the data resources independently from the underlying data sources, wherein at least one of the underlying data sources comprises a real time data feed available from within the enterprise network infrastructure;
• receiving a selection of one or more analytics tools listed in the glossary to include in the analytics solution, wherein each of the selected analytics tools is associated with a respective mapping specifying an implementation of the respective each analytics tool provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the analytics tools listed in the glossary identify analytics methods independently from the implementation of the one or more analytics tools provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein one or more of the analytics methods are performed to evaluate risks associated with the data moved to the target data store;
• receiving a selection of one or more of the selected elements from the glossary to provide as inputs to one or more of the selected analytics tools;
• generating a graphical representation of each selected element from the glossary and each selected analytics solution, wherein the graphical representation comprises a directed graph that represents a data flow for the analytics solution;
• and
• traversing the directed graph in order to generate a script encoding of the analytics solution, whereafter the script encoding is executed by an analytics integration server of the enterprise analytics framework to evaluate the data moved to the target data store using the selected analytics tools in order to determine a measure of risk associated with the data;
• wherein the analytics solution is expressed in a business level language, wherein the analytics solution is executed by the analytics integration server, wherein executing the analytics solution comprises:
• receiving the script encoding, wherein the script encoding includes a plurality of references to elements listed in the glossary, the glossary comprising a business glossary;
• and
• identifying one or more statements in the script encoding ready for execution,
• wherein executing the analytics solution further comprises:
• dereferencing, in the identified one or more statements, each reference to elements from the business glossary, wherein at least a first reference is to an element in the business glossary associated with a mapping specifying the function invoked to move data from the one or more underlying data sources to the target data store, wherein at least a second reference is to at least one of the one or more analytics tools listed in the business glossary and configured to operate on the moved data, wherein the second reference is associated with a mapping specifying an instantiation of a first mapped analytics tool that is provided within the enterprise network infrastructure, wherein the analytics tools listed in the business glossary identify analytics methods available from within the enterprise network infrastructure independently from the analytics tools used to provide the analytics methods.
