US Patent 11874690 Hierarchical data ingestion in a universal schema

This disclosure describes techniques for creating a universal schema with default fields that support sensor formats of different devices. In one example, the universal schema supports substantial equivalents between data fields in different sensor formats. Further, a sensor format may be configured to support inheritance and aggregation of sensor formats in prior devices. Accordingly, the mapping of sensor formats that supports inheritance and aggregation in the universal schema may provide several advantages such as capturing a mapping of substantive equivalents between the fields in different sensor formats.
