Structured data correlation from internal and external knowledge bases

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for generating a database of business cases correlated datasets includes receiving a text string indicating a business case topic. The processor isolates a plurality of data types in the dataset that are associated with the business case topic, and correlates the business case topic with the data types. The processor then determines data type links that associate the business case topic with the correlated data types. The processor evaluates each of the one or more data type links for a correlation to the business case topic, and assigns a confidence level value for the correlation. The processor next assigns a business value score for the correlated data type links based on the confidence level value and generates a business case database. The business case database is generated using the plurality of data types, the confidence level for each data type link and the business value scores.
