Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are generally related to data processing, and more specifically to processing data retrieved from a database. A GUI screen displaying query results may provide for the selection of a data standard to be applied to the query results. An analysis routine may identify specific results that comport with a selected data standard and visually identify the specific query results that comport with the selected data standard.
Claims20
A method for displaying query results, comprising:
- receiving a selection of a data standard to be applied to a first set of query results, displayed in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen, the data standard being selected from at least two different data standards, wherein the data standard defines a desired quality of data with respect to at least one field included in the first set of query results;
- in response to receiving the selection of the data standard, determining, by an analysis routine, a second set of query results, the second set of query results being in accordance with the selected data standard, and wherein the second set of query results is a subset of the first set of query results;
- and
- identifying the second set of results of the query in the GUI screen.
A computer readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation, comprising:
- receiving a selection of a data standard to be applied to a first set of query results, displayed in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen, the data standard being selected from at least two different data standards, wherein the data standard defines a desired quality of data with respect to at least one field included in the first set of query results;
- in response to receiving the selection of the data standard, determining, by an analysis routine, a second set of query results, the second set of query results being in accordance with the selected data standard, and wherein the second set of query results is a subset of the first set of query results;
- and
- identifying the second set of results of the query in the GUI screen.
A system comprising at least a memory and a processor and further comprising:
- a data abstraction model providing a definition for each of a plurality of logical fields and a data standard definition for each of the logical fields, wherein the data standard definitions include at least two different data standard definitions defined on the basis of respective criteria;
- a run time component for generating, from an abstract query referencing at least one of the logical fields, a query consistent with a particular physical representation of data;
- and
- an analysis routine for determining a set of results of the query that are consistent with a selected data standard and identifying the respective set of results in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displaying query results.
