System and method for management of data in distributed systems
A global data manager for managing data includes persistent storage and a data manager. The persistent storage stores a data template repository. The data manager obtains an internal request for a data type; identifies internal data of the data type; makes a determination, without being requested by a user that made the internal request, that external data of the data type exists; in response to the determination: polls data stores to obtain the external data of the data type; translates the external data of the data type, using the data template repository, into a format compatible with the internal data of the data type to obtain translated external data of the data type; and displays an external data enhanced interface based on: the internal data of the data type, and the translated external data of the data type.
1. A global data manager for managing data, comprising:
persistent storage for storing a data template repository; and
a data manager programmed to:
obtain an internal request for a data type;
identify internal data of the data type;
make a determination, without being requested by a user that made the internal request, that external data of the data type exists;
in response to the determination:
poll data stores to obtain the external data of the data type;
translate the external data of the data type, using the data template repository, into a format compatible with the internal data of the data type to obtain translated external data of the data type; and
display an external data enhanced interface based on:
the internal data of the data type, and
the translated external data of the data type,
wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface comprises:
generating a first graphical element based on the internal data of the data type using a graphical element generation method that is incompatible with the external data of the data type.
2. The global data manager of claim 1 , wherein the global data manager is further programmed to:
generate an auto-updating cache based on the translated external data of the data type.
3. The global data manager of claim 1 , wherein the external data is stored in a data store of the data stores separate from the global data manager.
4. The global data manager of claim 3 , wherein the external data is stored in a format that is incompatible with the internal data.
5. The global data manager of claim 1 , wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface further comprises:
prior to generating a second graphical element based on the translated external data:
displaying a resource cost associated with the external data; and
obtaining authorization to expend the resource cost from a user.
6. The global data manager of claim 5 , wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface further comprises:
generating an external advertisement enhancement element to obtain input from the user regarding the internal data;
making a second determination, based on the obtained input from the user, that external advertisement of the internal data is authorized; and
in response to the second determination:
translating the internal data of the data type using the data template repository into a second format compatible with the external data of the data type to obtain translated internal data of the data type; and
orchestrating external advertisement of the translated internal data using a data store of the data stores that is separate from the global data manager.
7. A method for managing data, comprising:
obtaining, by a global data manager, an internal request for a data type;
identifying internal data of the data type;
making a determination, without being requested by a user that made the internal request, that external data of the data type exists;
in response to the determination:
polling data stores to obtain the external data of the data type,
translating the external data of the data type, using a data template repository, into a format that is compatible with the internal data of the data type to obtain translated external data of the data type; and
displaying an external data enhanced interface based on:
the internal data of the data type, and
the translated external data of the data type,
wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface comprises:
generating a first graphical element based on the internal data of the data type using a graphical element generation method that is incompatible with the external data of the data type.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
generating an auto-updating cache based on the translated external data of the data type.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the external data is stored in a data store of the data stores separate from the global data manager.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the external data is stored in a format that is incompatible with the internal data.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface further comprises:
prior to generating a second graphical element based on the translated external data:
displaying a resource cost associated with the external data; and
obtaining authorization to expend the resource cost from a user.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface further comprises:
generating an external advertisement enhancement element to obtain input from the user regarding the internal data;
making a second determination, based on the obtained input from the user, that external advertisement of the internal data is authorized; and
in response to the second determination:
translating the internal data of the data type using the data template repository into a second format compatible with the external data of the data type to obtain translated internal data of the data type; and
orchestrating external advertisement of the translated internal data using a data store of the data stores that is separate from the global data manager.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a global data manager, an internal request for a data type;
identifying internal data of the data type;
making a determination, without being requested by a user that made the internal request, that external data of the data type exists;
in response to the determination:
polling data stores to obtain the external data of the data type,
translating the external data of the data type, using a data template repository, into a format that is compatible with the internal data of the data type to obtain translated external data of the data type; and
displaying an external data enhanced interface based on:
the internal data of the data type, and
the translated external data of the data type,
wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface comprises:
generating a first graphical element based on the internal data of the data type using a graphical element generation method that is incompatible with the external data of the data type.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , method further comprises:
generating an auto-updating cache based on the translated external data.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the external data is stored in a data store of the data stores separate from the global data manager.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the external data is stored in a format that is incompatible with the internal data.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein displaying the external data enhanced interface further comprises:
prior to generating a second graphical element based on the translated external data:
displaying a resource cost associated with the external data; and
obtaining authorization to expend the resource cost from a user.
