Modeling Method For Data Archival
Multiple source computer systems each store data and at least one of the source computer systems stores the data in a structure and format that is different from the structure and format in which at least one of the other source computer systems stores the data. Data is extracted from the source computer systems and the extracted data is stored in an archive data storage system in accordance with an industry specific model. The industry specific model includes at least one data object where each data object comprises metadata and a payload. The metadata is the same for each of the plurality of source computer systems and the payload is different for at least one of the plurality of source computer systems.
1 . A computer implemented method, comprising:
maintaining a plurality of source computer systems, each of the source computer systems storing data, wherein at least one of the plurality of source computer systems stores the data in a first structure and format and at least one other of the plurality of source computer systems stores the data in a second structure and format, wherein the first structure and format is different from the second structure and format;
extracting the data from the plurality of source computer systems; and
storing the extracted data in an archive data storage system in accordance with an industry specific model,
wherein the industry specific model comprises at least one data object, wherein each data object comprises metadata and a payload, wherein the metadata is the same for each of the plurality of source computer systems and the payload is different for at least one of the plurality of source computer systems.
2 . A computer system, comprising:
a plurality of source computer systems, each of the source computer systems storing data in a data storage repository, wherein at least one of the plurality of source computer systems stores the data in a first structure and format and at least one other of the plurality of source computer systems stores the data in a second structure and format, wherein the first structure and format is different from the second structure and format;
a computer processor configured to extract the data from the plurality of source computer systems; and
an archive data storage system configured to store the extracted data in accordance with an industry specific model,
wherein the industry specific model comprises at least one data object, wherein each data object comprises metadata and a payload, wherein the metadata is the same for each of the plurality of source computer systems and the payload is different for at least one of the plurality of source computer systems.
