Method for providing weighted relations between configuration data elements and metadata elements, involves calculating match score describing degree of conformity of metadata elements to compute weighed relation of elements

摘要

The method involves providing configuration data elements (1KE) and metadata element (1ME) having common relation (1R). A configuration data element (2KE) and metadata element (2ME) having common relation (2R), are provided. A match score describing degree of conformity of metadata elements is calculated. The weighted relation (3R) between the configuration data element (1KE) and metadata element (2ME) is computed using match score. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) device for providing weighted relations between configuration data elements and metadata elements; (2) data memory for storing program for providing weighted relations between configuration data elements and metadata elements; and (3) computer program product for providing weighted relations between configuration data elements and metadata elements.
