Abstract
Data standards are defined for data according to various criteria. A data standard may be selected for an abstract query, wherein the data standard identifies a quality of data. A query may be generated based on the abstract query and the selected data standard, wherein the query is configured to retrieve results of the abstract query that are in accordance with the selected data standard.
Claims20
A method for retrieving results from a database, comprising:
- selecting a data standard to be applied to a query, wherein the data standard identifies a quality of data, the data standard being selected from at least two different data standards;
- generating the query based on the selected data standard, wherein the query is configured to retrieve results that are in accordance with the selected data standard;
- and
- executing the query.
A computer readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation, comprising:
- receiving a data standard selection to be applied to a query, wherein the data standard identifies a quality of data, the data standard being selected from at least two different data standards;
- generating the query based on the selected data standard, wherein the query is configured to retrieve results that are in accordance with the selected data standard;
- and
- executing the query.
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;
- and
- 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, wherein the query is configured to retrieve results that are consistent with the data standard definition corresponding to the at least one logical field referenced by the abstract query.
