Workflow to automatically generate reports for different component-level metadata after interacting with multiple web services

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations for automatically generating reports from component-level metadata collected from a plurality of web sources within a component-level metadata collector and processing environment, the component-level metadata collector and processing environment comprising a component-level metadata collector and processing system, the plurality of web sources, a database of component-level metadata and an output optimizer user interface, and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• detecting a first set of user interactions with a first set of components at a first web source and a second set of user interactions with a second set of components at a second web source;
• receiving a first set of component-level metadata associated with the first set of user interactions and second set of component-level data associated with the second set of user interactions;
• storing the first and second sets of component-level data within a database of component-level metadata collected from a plurality of web sources;
• parsing the first and second sets of component-level metadata stored within the database of component-level metadata to generate component-level metadata elements, the component-level metadata elements being stored in an associated table of component-level metadata elements, the associated table of component-level metadata elements comprising a web sources attribute portion, the web sources attribute portion identifying a web source and a component input string attribute portion, the component input string attribute portion identifying a component, the component corresponding to a product;
• and
• processing the component-level metadata to automatically generate a report.
