Abstract

Claims (36)

1. A computer-system for providing a backlog of architectural design information for storage in a graph database, comprising:

a storage device that stores instructions; and

one or more processors that execute the instructions to:

report the architectural design information corresponding to the graph database;

receive an architectural dataset from the graph database;

decompose the architectural dataset to form one or more data domains, the one or more data domains comprising a plurality of nodes, and the one or more data domains including a business data domain and a technology data domain;

analyze, using a data analysis algorithm including a tangible similarity algorithm and a tangible centrality algorithm, relationships between the plurality of nodes of the business data domain and the technology data domain of the graph database, identifying application rationalization opportunities, to generate architectural design information; and

distribute the architectural design information associated with the data domains to report insights related to the architectural design information via a data visualization software, the data visualization software configured to provide insight into how technological information and business information are integrated during a period of time.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the architectural design information includes application rationalizations related to a value stream, capability, or a function.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the architectural design information includes segregating an application for distributing commodities.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the architectural design information includes cyclical phases of a commodity.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage for identifying data distribution.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage including one or more data hops.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein nodes are represented as entities within the graph database.

8. A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for providing a backlog of architectural design information for storage in a graph database, the operations comprising:

report the architectural design information corresponding to the graph database;

receive an architectural dataset from the graph database;

decompose the architectural dataset to form one or more data domains, the one or more data domains comprising a plurality of nodes, and the one or more data domains including a business data domain and a technology data domain;

analyze, using a data analysis algorithm including a tangible similarity algorithm and a tangible centrality algorithm, relationships between the plurality of nodes of the business data domain and the technology data domain of the graph database, identifying application rationalization opportunities, to generate architectural design information; and

distribute the architectural design information associated with the data domains to report insights related to the architectural design information via a data visualization software, the data visualization software configured to provide insight into how technological information and business information are integrated during a period of time.

9. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the architectural design information includes application rationalizations related to a value stream, capability, or a function.

10. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the architectural design information includes segregating an application for distributing commodities.

11. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the architectural design information includes cyclical phases of a commodity.

12. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage for identifying data distribution.

13. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage including one or more data hops.

14. A computer-implemented method for reporting architectural design information for storage in a graph database, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:

reporting the architectural design information corresponding to the graph database;

receiving an architectural dataset from the graph database;

decomposing the architectural dataset to form one or more data domains, the one or more data domains comprising a plurality of nodes, and the one or more data domains including a business data domain and a technology data domain;

analyzing, using a data analysis algorithm including a tangible similarity algorithm and a tangible centrality algorithm, relationships between the plurality of nodes of the business data domain and the technology data domain of the graph database, identifying application rationalization opportunities, to generate architectural design information; and

distributing the architectural design information associated with the data domains to report insights related to the architectural design information via a data visualization software, the data visualization software configured to provide insight into how technological information and business information are integrated during a period of time.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the architectural design information includes application rationalizations related to a value stream, capability, or a function.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the architectural design information includes segregating an application for distributing commodities.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the architectural design information includes cyclical phases of a commodity.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage for identifying data distribution.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the architectural design information includes data lineage including one or more data hops.
