Abstract
A system and method for analyzing data identifies a first set of analysis results based on a first set of data and an analysis strategy. A second set of data, which is a modification of the first set of data, is analyzed using the analysis strategy to generate a second set of analysis results. The second set of analysis results are arranged in a hierarchical format. The first set of analysis results are compared with the second set of analysis results to identify differences in the two analysis results.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a first set of analysis results based on a first set of data and an analysis strategy;
- identifying a second set of data to analyze, wherein the second set of data is a modification of the first set of data;
- analyzing the second set of data using the analysis strategy to generate a second set of analysis results, wherein the second set of analysis results are arranged in a hierarchical format;
- and
- comparing the first set of analysis results with the second set of analysis results to identify differences in the two analysis results.

A method comprising:
- identifying a set of analysis results based on a bill of materials and an analysis strategy;
- identifying a second set of data to analyze, wherein the second set of data is a modification of the first set of data;
- applying the analysis strategy to the second set of data;
- merging the set of analysis results with the results of applying the analysis strategy to the second set of data;
- and
- publishing the merged analysis results.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- an analysis parameter module configured to store at least one analysis task;
- and
- an analysis module coupled to the analysis parameter module, the analysis module being configured to identify a first set of analysis results based on a first set of data and an analysis strategy, the analysis module further configured to identify a second set of data to analyze, wherein the second set of data is a modification of the first set of data, the analysis module further configured to analyze the second set of data using the analysis strategy to generate a set of analysis results, the analysis module further configured to compare the first set of analysis results with the second set of analysis results to identify differences in the two analysis results.
