Implementation of a software framework/data ark system

Abstract

A software framework architecture that allows for the migration of data from legacy systems to a DataArk database. The DataArk database acts as a central storage component for disparate data sets. Data is extracted from the legacy systems, transformed into a text format and then mapped into the DataArk database. Users are then able to access the DataArk database as they would access the legacy systems, looking up individual patient accounting detail, clinical detail, employee records, etc. Users are also able to edit and manage the data in the DataArk database. The legacy systems are then decommissioned. Further, the DataArk database is configured for use by establishing user access, permitted functions and permitted views. A system administrator establishes user profiles that specify which functions and screens a user may access. Once users are logged-in the system, users may perform searches on the data to which they have been given access.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
