A method of processing a sequential federated query for distributed systems, comprising: receiving , at a processor, a sequential federated query; deconstructing , at the processor, the sequential federated query into query elements; identifying , at the processor, a first data source Transactional Unstructured Data Source (TUDS), a second data source Contextual Characteristic Data Source (CCDS), and a data organization parameter based on the query elements, wherein data stored in the first data source includes unstructured data and data structured according to several heterogeneous data structures; generating, at the processor, a first data query based on the data organization parameter; providing , by the processor, the first query to the first data source; generating , at the processor, a first result data set from the first data source based on a response to the first query received from the first data source; processing , at the processor, the first result data set and the data organization parameter to develop a second query; generating , at the processor, a second result data set from the second data source based on the developed second query and the data organization parameter; generating , at the processor, a final sequential federated query data set based on the second result data set and the data organization parameter; processing , at the processor, a formatted sequential federated query data set based on the processing of the final sequential federated query data set and the data organization parameter; and providing , at the processor, the formatted sequential federated query data set to a management system for action. receiving , at a processor, a sequential federated query; deconstructing , at the processor, the sequential federated query into query elements; identifying , at the processor, a first data source Transactional Unstructured Data Source (TUDS), a second data source Contextual Characteristic Data Source (CCDS), and a data organization parameter based on the query elements, wherein data stored in the first data source includes unstructured data and data structured according to several heterogeneous data structures; generating, at the processor, a first data query based on the data organization parameter; providing , by the processor, the first query to the first data source; generating , at the processor, a first result data set from the first data source based on a response to the first query received from the first data source; processing , at the processor, the first result data set and the data organization parameter to develop a second query; generating , at the processor, a second result data set from the second data source based on the developed second query and the data organization parameter; generating , at the processor, a final sequential federated query data set based on the second result data set and the data organization parameter; processing , at the processor, a formatted sequential federated query data set based on the processing of the final sequential federated query data set and the data organization parameter; and providing , at the processor, the formatted sequential federated query data set to a management system for action. <EOS>
