Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented system for web data transformation sourcing, comprising: a search module defined to locate one or more web based sources defined to transform a set of original input data types into a set of ultimate output data types, wherein each original input data type in the set of original input data types is a respective structured piece of data that has semantic meaning, and wherein each ultimate output data type in the set of ultimate output data types is a respective structured piece of data that has semantic meaning, the search module defined to determine multiple transformation paths by which the set of original input data types is transformed into the set of ultimate output data types, the search module further defined to generate and digitally convey a transformation solution that when executed utilizes the one or more located web based sources to transform the set of original input data types into the set of ultimate output data types, wherein the search module is defined to generate a cost value for each of the multiple transformation paths, wherein each cost value is generated in accordance with a cost function.
