Abstract
A method is provided. The method comprises accessing a target database comprising at least one table associated with a first concept or property of a reference ontology, defining a data source ontology for a data source comprising a dataset, said data source ontology comprising a second concept or property, wherein said second concept or property is different from said first concept or property, and creating a link between said second concept or property and said first concept or property, said link defining to which table of said target database data of said dataset, associated with said second concept or property, is related.
Claims11
A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing software code representing instructions that when executed by a computing system cause the computing system to perform a method of linking data of a data source to a target database, the method comprising:
- receiving a target database comprising at least one table associated with a first concept or property of a reference ontology, wherein the target database is defined by a user-selected first set of concepts or properties of the reference ontology;
- generating a data source ontology associated with a second set of concepts or properties of a data source ontology, the second set of concepts or properties being different from the first set of concepts or properties;
- creating a link between said first set of concepts or properties and said second set of concepts or properties that relates the second set of concepts or properties to the table of the target database;
- and
- integrating data into the target database based on the created link.
