US 2008/0082601 A1 · RESOURCE STANDARDIZATION IN AN OFF-PREMISE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

A computing paradigm where information can be aggregated from multiple services/programs within a ‘cloud-based’ environment is provided. Thus, the system can provide a uniform interface that can combine computational tasks across the multiple services/programs. Thus, the innovation takes advantage of the computing device being a ‘thin client’ which affords greater user comfort to a user without sacrificing data processing capabilities. Accordingly, the mechanisms are disclosed that standardize and/or normalize data across the resources within the cloud.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system that facilitates data management, comprising:

an interface component that receives a request for data;
and
a data aggregation component that retrieves data from an ‘off-premise’ resource and normalizes the data as a function of target format.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
