Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein relating to ingesting data objects from various sources and associating them in a hierarchy with a profile. In some aspects, a data object, including a set of fields and indicating a data object type, may be obtained for associating with a profile maintained by a computing resource service provider. The data object may be converted into a standardized format based on the data object type indicated in the data object using an object mapping associated with the data object. A key associated with the data object and indicated in the object mapping may be selected and used to search an index for a related profile. Upon finding a profile with the matching key, the profile may be updated to include an association of the standardized data object, such as in a hierarchy.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

obtaining a data object including a set of fields to be ingested to a profile of a set of profiles maintained by a computing resource service provider, the data object comprising contact information of a subordinate account associated with a primary account of the profile and indicating that the data object is a contact data object type;
determining, based at least in part on an object mapping which maps a first field of the set of fields to a corresponding field included in the set of profiles, a set of keys included in the data object;
querying an index to determine that one or more key of the set of keys uniquely identifies the profile, the one or more keys selected according to a hierarchy comprising one or more non-secondary keys and one or more sets of secondary keys, wherein the one or more sets of secondary keys are searched upon a determination that the index does not contain the one or more non-secondary keys;
generating a standardized contact identifier and associating the standardized contact identifier with at least a subset of fields of the set of fields of the data object based at least in part on the object mapping to generate an instance of a standardized contact data object;
and
associating the instance of the standardized contact data object with the profile by appending the standardized contact identifier to the profile, such that responsive to a request to access the standardized contact identifier, the instance of the standardized contact data object and the profile are made available.

3 more elements

A system, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory that stores computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
obtain a data object including a set of fields to be ingested to a profile of a set of profiles maintained by a computing resource service provider, the data object indicating a data object type of a plurality of data object types supported by the computing resource service provider;
generate a standardized data object based on the data object type indicated in the data object using an object mapping associated with the data object type, wherein the object mapping comprises a hierarchy of one or more keys of a set of keys to use in identifying a first profile of the set of profiles to which to associate the standardized data object, the hierarchy comprising two or more ordered groupings of the one or more keys to identify the first profile;
select a key of the set of keys based on the hierarchy indicated in the object mapping associated with the data object;
obtain a result of a search of the key within an index;
and
in response to the result indicating the profile includes the key, updating the profile to associate the standardized data object with the profile.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

obtain a first data object, to be associated with a profile, from a first source;
convert the first data object to an instance of a first standardized format data object based on a first object mapping of the first standardized format data object, the first object mapping selected from a plurality of object mappings based on the first source;
generate a first key that identifies the instance of the first standardized format data object and associate the first key with the profile;
obtain a second data object, to be associated with the profile, from a second source;
convert the second data object to an instance of a second standardized format data object based on a second object mapping of the second standardized format data object, the second object mapping selected from the plurality of object mappings based on the second source;
and
generate a second key that identifies the instance of the second standardized format data object and associate the second key with the profile, such that responsive to a request to access one of the instances of the first standardized format data object or the instance of the second standardized format data object, the profile is made available.
