Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage medium configured with data and with instructions that when executed by at least one processor causes the processor(s) to perform a process for managing structured datasets, the process comprising the computational steps of: obtaining in a user work context a structured dataset of interest which has at least one typed attribute, each typed attribute comprising a column name and an associated data type; casting the structured dataset into a samplex having at least one typed attribute in common with the structured dataset, the samplex also defined by at least the following characteristics: the samplex is a computational derivation of the structured dataset, the samplex does not compromise confidentiality of values in cells of the structured dataset, the samplex includes a computational adjustment which reflects at least one local condition, historic productivity being a local condition, enterprise policy also being a local condition; identifying at least one matching dataset or dataset service based at least partially on the samplex; and performing at least one of the following modifications based at least partially on the matching dataset:
