US Patent 11748395 Developing object ontologies and data usage models using machine learning

An enterprise ontology, an application data usage model, and/or cross-application data dependencies may be developed using artificial intelligence. Using pattern recognition and/or information extraction techniques, the artificial intelligence may analyze application source code to identify common DDL or SQL statements to formulate an ontology and/or a usage model for the application. A plurality of application ontologies and/or data usage models may be used to build a semantic hub. The semantic hub may be analyzed to identify data redundancies, data use frequency, potential data quality challenges, and/or data dependencies between applications to produce a data abstraction model that allows legacy applications to communicate with one or more data stores.
