Request processing system using a combining engine

A method for fulfilling data requests, comprising:

• receiving, at an interface, a plurality of data elements, the plurality of data elements comprising at least:
• a first data element in response to a first sub-request, the first data element encapsulated in a first sub-wrapper;
• a second data element in response to a second sub-request, the second data element encapsulated in a second sub-wrapper;
• and
• a third data element in response to a third sub-request, the third data element encapsulated in a third sub-wrapper;
• upon determining that the first sub-wrapper and the second sub-wrapper are associated with a first identifier and that the third sub-wrapper is associated with a second identifier that is different from the first identifier, combining the encapsulated first data element and the encapsulated second data element;
• removing, by the processor, the first sub-wrapper from the first data element and the second sub-wrapper from the second data element;
• and
• sending, by the processor, the combined first data element and the second data element to a first requestor in response to a first request.

A method for grouping data elements, comprising:

• receiving, at an interface, a plurality of data elements from a plurality of data repositories, each data element encapsulated in a sub-wrapper associated with a component of an identifier;
• identifying, by a processor, a first subset of the plurality of data elements, each data element of the first subset encapsulated in a sub-wrapper associated with a component of a first identifier;
• combining, by the processor, the first subset of data elements based on the components of the first identifier;
• removing, by the processor, the sub-wrappers encapsulating the first subset of data elements;
• and
• sending, by the processor, the combined first subset of data elements to a first requestor.
