Adapting data for changes to data attributes

Abstract:

A method for adapting data for changes in attributes associated with the data (e.g., data related to an enterprise) may include techniques for modifying attributes associated with data corresponding to a change in those attributes based on a change in a product (e.g., an application, a computer system, a computer program product, or a service). The data adaptation techniques may include determine attributes that have changed based on adaptation information that indicates changes in attributes associated with data accessed by the product. The adaptation may indicate conditions for those changes, such as a condition that indicates a change to an attribute corresponding to a change from one version of a product to another version of the product. Upon determining that a condition for a change to an attribute has occurred, the attribute may be modified based on the change.
