Automated data translation

A computer usable program product for ranking asset tags, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• locating, responsive to a data replication request, source data associated with the data replication request, the source data including a data value encoded in a class-based meta-type system for storing and accessing meta-type properties;
• identifying a property of the data value using a predetermined reflection process;
• determining a meta-type for the data value using an automaton that identifies a matching extent class from among an indexed set of extent classes that define respective accessors, the automaton invoking accessors of the extent classes to locate the matching extent class that corresponds with the property of the data value;
• generating target data having the data value and a data type that corresponds with the matching extent class;
• generating a changes feed that includes the data value and data type of the generated target data;
• continuously monitoring the changes feed during a plurality of additional iterations of the identifying of the property, the determining of the meta-type, the generating of the target data, and the generating of the changes feed,
• wherein the monitoring of the changes feed includes evaluating data received via the changes feed to determine whether a specified condition has been satisfied;
• and
• generating, responsive to determining that the specified condition has been satisfied, a trigger signal that initiates an event, the trigger signal comprising data indicative of information from the changes feed that satisfied the specified condition.
