Abstract
In an example implementation, correlative patterns in structured data and in unstructured data are determined, where the determining includes finding a first pattern in the structured data and a second pattern in the unstructured data, and determining a degree of similarity between the first and second patterns. The structured data and unstructured data are processed according to the determined correlative patterns.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a system having a processor, correlative patterns in structured data in a first data collection and in unstructured data in a second data collection, wherein the determining comprises finding a first pattern in the structured data and a second pattern in the unstructured data, and determining a degree of similarity between the first and second patterns;
- and
- processing, in response to a request for data, the structured data and unstructured data according to the determined correlative patterns.
An article comprising at least one machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a system to:
- receive a request for data;
- in response to the request, identify data items of structured data responsive to the request;
- determine correlative patterns in the identified data items of the structured data and in data items of unstructured data, where the determining comprises finding patterns in the identified data items of the structured data and determining degrees of similarity between the patterns and patterns of data items of the unstructured data;
- and
- retrieve data items from the unstructured data items responsive to the request based on the determined correlative patterns.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor to:
- determine correlative patterns in structured data in a first data collection and in unstructured data having text and rich media in a second data collection, wherein the determining comprises finding a first pattern in the structured data and a second pattern in the unstructured data, and determining a degree of similarity between the first and second patterns;
- and
- process, in response to a request for data, the structured data and unstructured data according to the correlating.
