Abstract

The method and system according to the embodiments enable generalized program-to-program interoperability. The method and system use an automatic or substantially automatic conversion adapter to use a given exchange standard for bidirectional communication with a program. To enable the adapter to use the exchange standard, a search manager may learn the data communication structure and/or format of the program and may learn data semantic information from the program. An adapter generator may derive a conversion that converts the data communication structure and data semantics of the program into the exchange standard. The conversion may be used by the adapter to achieve interoperability by enabling bidirectional communication with any adapter and/or program that similarly uses the given exchange standard.

Description

Method and system for adapting programs for interoperability and adapters therefor Technology field The present invention generally relates to a method and system for adapting software programs for interoperability. Additionally, the present invention relates to an adapter that enables interoperability between different programs. Background of the Invention It is not acknowledged that the background technology disclosed in this item constitutes legally prior art. Currently, programs such as database programs utilize a wide variety of data models, interface languages, naming conventions, data semantics, schemas, and data representations. Consequently, the fundamental issue lies in sharing heterogeneous information across diverse resources. The diversity of data from different programs can create serious barriers that, while interoperability between these diverse programs is highly desirable, have not been achievable until now. While there have been many attempts to move toward heterogeneous databases, there remains a significant demand for design, engineering, and manufacturing applications to be able to efficiently and effectively access and import data easily. Efforts to develop a global query language have not satisfactorily addressed a large group of users who wish to view the world of external data as an extension of existing systems and their specialized representations. These users may not want to learn different global representations, and more importantly, their expensive design tools can only operate with a single specialized representation. Attempts are being made to resolve heterogeneity using database gateways, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interfaces, but these efforts are merely being made at a relatively superficial level. Therefore, there are serious flaws even at the beginning of the attempt to achieve universal program interoperability. In all these cases, programmers must still write application code to call various functions designed into the interfaces between programs in order to make them interoperable, resulting in unnecessary and undesirable costs and time delays. Data conversion and reformatting may be required on the source side of an application programming interface (API), the target side of the API, or often both. All of this is left to the programmer who must implement these interoperability features on a case-by-case basis, and consequently, the desired implementation is prohibitively expensive. Unfortunately, there is little to no existing software capable of building such converters, so each attempt generally starts from scratch. While some vendors provide import translators for several common formats, these converters generally fail to provide sufficient interoperability. Furthermore, if the target data usage anticipates non-relational data (e.g., linked, nested, or other formats), additional data transformation may be required. Generally, this can also entail enormous programming effort, along with unnecessary time-consuming requirements. Even within relational data modes, there are typically various ways to design relational tables—that is, there are usually two or more methods for normalizing data. Data transformation is generally required when an application needs data that differs from what the API provides. Consequently, organizations often need to write specialized converters for specific requirements, which can be costly and time-consuming. Other interoperability shortcomings frequently occur in modern large corporations. It is inevitable that various departments within an organization use different systems to generate, store, and retrieve their critical data. This diversity of data sources can arise from various factors, including a lack of coordination between departments within the company, differing rates of new technology adoption, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and the geographical separation of collaborating groups. However, only by combining information from these diverse systems can a company realize the full value of the data contained within them. Consequently, program interoperability is becoming increasingly complex in modern large corporations. For example, in the financial or healthcare industries, mergers are quite common. Companies formed through mergers inherit the original institutions or their data repositories. Many of these data repositories are, generally speaking, products from different manufacturers. Both the acquiring and target companies may possess one or more document management systems for storing text documents. Each may have applications that process critical information, such as data resources regarding loan risk for specific customers or customer purchasing patterns. Following a merger, the new company may require access to customer information from both sets of data repositories to analyze a new portfolio using existing and new applications, and generally to utilize
