Abstract:

A system for providing application access to external data uses a data component that translates requests for data into. NET objects. The. NET objects are used to retrieve information from a variety of different data sources that contain data stored in a number of different formats. The data component retrieves the data from the data sources and creates a response. NET object that can be transmitted to a requestor. The data component uses a DST that defines the manner in which data is to be retrieved. To retrieve data from a new data source, it is only necessary to create a new DST. In such a manner, a requestor can retrieve data without the need to translate data into a particular format. Therefore, the. NET object may be available via a web service, thereby allowing access via a variety of different computing tools such as, for example, a personal computer, a telephone, and a PDA.

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention is a consolidated package for diverse platforms to interoperate and transfer data. It allows otherwise incompatible systems to communicate with each other, exchange information, and otherwise interact. An embodiment of the present invention translates requests for information into a predetermined format that can be transmitted from a first platform to a second platform. One embodiment may transfer the information in an XML format over the Internet using HTTP or HTTPS. The receiving computer translates the XML stream into a properly formatted request and finds the requested information. The requested information is translated into an XML stream and transmitted over the Internet using HTTPS. The information is then translated into a format that the requesting computer can use. The system and method described herein can be used to exchange data between two computing systems.
