A computing network data layer architecture or system includes an open data layer module comprising a translation layer. Translation flags are within the translation layer and each flag is associated with a database language of an underlying database that can be coupled architecture or system. The open data layer module is disposed at the lowermost layer of the architecture directly above the underlying backend database. The open data layer module allows for a system to replace or modify its backend databases without affecting the higher level visualization framework or user interface such that a user of the system is unaware which database is utilized or after one database has been replaced or swapped for another even though the databases may be disparate hand have different database language requirements.
