Abstract
Embodiments of a data management interface (DMI) and associated methods are generally described. According to but one example embodiment, a method is introduced comprising importing content describing product inventory from one or more disparate data sources of such content, the content including one or more standard product descriptors that uniquely identify an individual instance of a product, selectively modifying the imported content based, at least in part, on content associated with the uniquely identified instance of the product obtained from an independent resource, and exporting the selectively modified content to any one or more of a number of media.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- importing content describing product inventory from any of a number of data management systems (DMS), the content including one or more standard product descriptors that uniquely identify an individual instance of a product;
- and
- selectively modifying the imported content based, at least in part, on content associated with the uniquely identified instance of the product obtained from an independent source of such product information to generate an enhanced representation of the imported content.
A storage medium comprising content which, when executed by an accessing machine, causes the machine to implement a data management interface (DMI) to import content describing product inventory from any of a number of data management systems (DMS), the content including one or more standard product descriptors that uniquely identify an individual instance of a product, and selectively modify the imported content based, at least in part, on content associated with the uniquely identified instance of the product obtained from an independent source of such product information to generate an enhanced representation of the imported content.
A data management interface (DMI) comprising:
- an import module, communicatively coupled with one or more disparate data management system(s) (DMS), to import content describing a product inventory from at least a subset of the data management systems (DMS), the content including one or more standard product descriptors that uniquely identify an individual instance of a product;
- and
- an edit module, responsive to the import module, to selectively modify the imported content based, at least in part, on content associated with the uniquely identified instance of the product obtained from an independent source of such product information to generate an enhanced representation of the imported content.
