Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for taking data input from, and writing data back to, multiple sources that are composed of multiple types of storage types and configurations. This data is revision controlled and presented to the user in a unified table format for ease of correlation. The received data also can be modified or otherwise changed and written back to the disparate sources from which the data was obtained.
Claims8
A method for editing a plurality of attributes of a plurality of assets in an editor, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of asset data corresponding to an asset from a plurality of data input/output (IO) sources, at least two received asset data of the plurality of asset data corresponding to the asset having different data formats;
- translating the received asset data having different data formats into a universal data format;
- entering the translated data into a table, the table having each row corresponding to descriptions of the asset and each columns corresponding to a particular characteristic of the asset in the row;
- receiving edits to the translated data in the table to create edited asset data;
- storing changes to the edited asset data into a database;
- re-translating the edited asset data back to a format corresponding to an IO source of the plurality of JO sources of the translated data;
- and
- transmitting the re-translated edited asset data to the IO source of the translated data.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for editing a plurality of attributes of a plurality of assets in an editor, the instructions when executed by a processor causes the processor to:
- receive a plurality of asset data corresponding to an asset from a plurality of data input/output (IO) sources, at least two received asset data of the plurality of asset data corresponding to the asset having different data formats;
- translate the received asset data having different data formats into a universal data format;
- enter the translated data into a table, the table having each row corresponding to descriptions of the asset and each columns corresponding to a particular characteristic of the asset in the row;
- receive edits to the translated data in the table to create edited asset data;
- store changes to the edited asset data into a database;
- re-translate the edited asset data back to a format corresponding to an IO source of the plurality of IO sources of the translated data;
- and
- transmit the re-translated edited asset data to the IO source of the translated data.
