Processing data records using capabilities and handles

A system comprising:

• a data pipeline to process data records and to generate and transmit each of a plurality of communication files containing data from respective data records;
• a processing device coupled to the data pipeline, wherein the processing device is to:
• execute a first extractor to operate on a first record containing a first field of text classified with a body capability, the first extractor to extract a predetermined type of information from the first field of text, wherein a capability comprises a prospective treatment of the first field of text that is independent of a data type of the first field of text;
• and
• combine the predetermined type of information with additional data, related to the predetermined type of information, into a data file as an output of the data pipeline.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device in relation to databases of a data pipeline, cause the processing device to:

• execute a first extractor to operate on a data record containing a first field of text classified with a first capability, the first extractor to extract a first predetermined type of information from the first field of text, wherein a capability comprises a prospective treatment of the first field of text that is independent of a data type of the first field of text;
• insert the first predetermined type of information into an enriched data file;
• execute a second extractor to operate on the enriched data file, the second extractor to extract a second predetermined type of information from a second field of text of the enriched data file, wherein the second field of text is classified with a second capability;
• and
• combine the first predetermined type of information with the second predetermined type of information into a second enriched data file as an output of the data pipeline.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device in relation to databases of a data pipeline, cause the processing device to:

• access, with execution in relation to a data pipeline, first data of a first data type within a first data record;
• identify a first field data within the first data;
• detect a first handle associated with the first field data;
• in view of a type of the first handle, perform a lookup, within an external database stored in a computer memory of the data pipeline, to determine second data corresponding to the first field data;
• and
• combine the first field data with the second data into a data file as an output of the data pipeline.
