Abstract
A system and method for classifying structured data by automatically suggesting classification labels. The system comprises a taxonomy configured to provide one or more normalized labels and a classification tool configured to automatically classify data across an enterprise system using the one or more normalized labels. The method comprises extracting metadata from one or more relational databases; suggesting classifications based on the metadata; and converting one or more names to normalized labels across an enterprise system based on the suggested classifications.
Claims21
