Abstract
Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for facilitating utilization of data. A computer implemented method for facilitating utilization of data includes receiving data, wherein the received data is in a first representation. The received data is converted from the first representation to a common representation that is mapped to the first representation using an external configuration file. The common representation of the data is output to facilitate utilization of the data.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for facilitating utilization of data, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving data, wherein the received data is in a first representation;
- converting the received data from the first representation to a common representation that is mapped to the first representation using an external configuration file;
- and
- outputting the common representation of the data to facilitate utilization of the data.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer usable program code configured for facilitating utilization of data, the computer program product comprising:
- computer usable program code configured for receiving data, wherein the received data is in a first representation;
- computer usable program code configured for converting the received data from the first representation to a common representation that is mapped to the first representation using an external conversion file;
- and
- computer usable program code configured for outputting the common representation of the data to facilitate utilization of the data.
A system, in a data processing system, for facilitating utilization of data, the system comprising:
- an input for receiving data, wherein the received data is in a first representation;
- a conversion mechanism for converting the received data from the first representation to a common representation that is mapped to the first representation, wherein the conversion mechanism comprises an external configuration file;
- and
- an output for outputting the common representation of the data to facilitate utilization of the data.
