Programmatic data discovery platforms for computing applications

摘要

Systems, methods and techniques for discovering, managing and/or representing data are described. In particular, systems and methods for acquiring, representing, and disseminating data independently of, for example, the nature of the data sources or the data storage infrastructure, are described. Such discovery, management and/or representation may be enabled by various manners of integration into pre-existing network architecture, enabled via system(s) or method(s) implemented remotely from pre-existing network architecture, and/or enabled via programmatic integration into existing computing applications such as Web applications.
