Taxonomy system for enterprise data management and analysis

摘要

The present invention provides taxonomy system for enterprise data management and analysis. Building a taxonomy is based on defining taxonomy themes to solve different aspects of enterprise data management. For each theme, a taxonomy is created by classifying data related to the theme. Taxonomy nodes include enterprise data management policies and data analysis methods to be applied to data stored at the nodes. The amount of data that companies need to access and manage today is complex and voluminous. Because of computational requirements and time constraints, it is very difficult to classify and process all data. In many cases, current solutions ignore a sizable amount of data and process a small subset of it. This leads to incomplete and inaccurate results as ignored data may contain valuable information. The present invention provides taxonomies that encompass all data. Voluminous data is processed first to eliminate irrelevant data that is not related to the theme of a taxonomy. This in effect reduces the amount of data used to create the taxonomy without impacting its accuracy.
