Complex data assembly identifier thesaurus

An article comprising one or more machine-readable storage media storing instructions configured to cause one or more machines to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a data processing system, a collection of mapping information that identifies a first object and a first collection of two or more keys used to identify the first object, each object including an object class name, a collection of attributes, and a collection of operations, each key referring to a corresponding object to the exclusion of all other objects;
• determining that none of the keys in the first collection are found in any mapping group of a mapping data store and that the first object is not related to any object found in any mapping group of the mapping data store, each mapping group comprising a second collection of two or more keys and containing mapping information that associates the corresponding kegs with two or more data objects;
• determining that a related object that is associated with a second collection of keys exists outside of any mapping group of the mapping data store, wherein the related object is related to the first object in that the related object includes same attributes as the first object and wherein none of the keys in the first collection are found in the second collection and none of the keys in the second collection are found in the first collection;
• and
• creating a new mapping group to include the related object and the first object,
• wherein creating the new mapping group comprises adding the related object in association with the keys in the second collection to the new mapping group.

A method implemented by one or more data processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one data processor from a data processing system, a collection of mapping information identifying a first object and a first collection of two or more keys used to identify the first object, each object including an object class name, a collection of attributes, and a collection of operations, each key referring to the first object to the exclusion of all other objects;
• determining, by at least one data processor, that a first key in the first collection is found in a first mapping group of a mapping data store, the first mapping group comprising a second collection of two or more keys and containing mapping information that associates the corresponding keys with two or more data objects;
• determining, by at least one data processor, that a second key in the first collection is found in a second mapping group of the mapping data store, the second mapping group comprising a third collection of two or more keys and containing mapping information that associates the corresponding keys with two or more data objects;
• and
• merging, by at least one data processor, the first mapping group and the second mapping group to reflect that objects from the first mapping group and the second mapping group are related such that the first key and the second key are mapped to the same object,
• wherein none of the associated data objects in the first mapping data store are found in the second mapping data store and none of the associated data objects in the second mapping data store are found in the first mapping data store.
