Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Advancements in computing devices and networking technology h ave given rise to a variety of innovations in data management and manipulation. For example, data integration systems can provide access to a variety of compute r applications to consolidate management of diverse data for performing various tasks. Indeed, modern data integration systems can provide access to application s, data, and a variety of other digital resources for users to collaborate acros s diverse physical locations and over a variety of computing devices. Despite th ese advances, however, existing data integration systems continue to suffer from a number of disadvantages, particularly in terms of flexibility, efficiency, an d accuracy.
