Patent ID: 8850057

Claim:
A system, comprising: a plurality of entities each comprising a database and each conforming to a different information standard; a plurality of content-based routers, wherein each of the content based routers is assigned to at least one of the entities; a first canonical standard; and a metric for validating data for compliance with the first canonical standard; wherein: the content-based routers are connected to form a network; communications within the network between the content-based routers comply with the first canonical standard; each of the plurality of entities communicates with the network via the corresponding content-based router and provides the corresponding content-based router with a translation key, the translation key configured to map information between a first form compliant with the first canonical standard and a second form compliant with an information standard of the corresponding entity; each of the content-based routers is configured to transform information that is in the second form from the corresponding one of the entities into the first form based on the translation key and validate the transformed information in accordance with the metric, wherein, responsive to a failure of a validation of the transformed information in accordance with the metric, the content-based router is configured to inform the corresponding entity that the translation key is inaccurate; and each of the content-based routers is configured to transform information that is in the first form into the second form based on the translation key of the corresponding entity to which the content-based router is assigned.
