Systems and methods for interest-driven data sharing in interest-driven business intelligence systems

Abstract:

Systems and methods for interest-driven data sharing in interest-driven business intelligence systems in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In one embodiment, an interest-driven data sharing server system includes a processor, a memory configured to store an interest-driven data sharing application, raw data storage, metadata storage configured to store data description metadata describing the raw data, and report storage configured to store previously generated reports, wherein the interest-driven data sharing application configures the processor to receive a report specification, locate at least one previously generated report stored in the report storage, identify raw data stored in the raw data storage using the data description metadata and at least one of the reporting data requirements, calculate redundant data metadata using the located previously generated reports and the identified raw data, determine modified reporting data requirements, retrieve updated source data, and generate reporting data based on the updated source data.
