Abstract
Disclosed is a method including receiving a rule having at least one rule case for producing an output value based on one or more input values, generating a transform for receiving data from an input dataset and transforming the data based on the rule including producing a first series of values for at least one output variable in an output dataset, at least one value in the first series of values including a second series of values, and providing an output field corresponding to the at least one output variable in the output dataset for storing the second series of values.
Claims20
A method, including:
- receiving a rule having at least one rule case for producing an output value based on one or more input values,
- generating a transform for receiving data from an input dataset and transforming the data based on the rule including producing a first series of values for at least one output variable in an output dataset, at least one value in the first series of values including a second series of values, and
- providing an output field corresponding to the at least one output variable in the output dataset for storing the second series of values.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a computer program for updating a component in a graph-based computation having data processing components connected by linking elements representing data flows, the computer program including instructions for causing a computer to:
- receive a rule having at least one rule case for producing an output value based on one or more input values,
- generate a transform for receiving data from an input dataset and transforming the data based on the rule including producing a first series of values for at least one output variable in an output dataset, at least one value in the first series of values including a second series of values, and
- provide an output field corresponding to the at least one output variable in the output dataset for storing the second series of values.
