US Patent 9704130 Standard based mapping of industry vertical model to legacy environments

A standard based mapping of industry vertical models to legacy environments to suggest points of enterprise application integration. A representation of a first domain comprising industry model instance data is generated in a standard-based format from an enterprise industry model. A representation in the standard-based format of a second domain comprising legacy data is generated from the legacy environment. A set of inference rules is applied against the representation of enterprise industry model instance data and the representation of legacy data. One or more candidate legacy assets in the representation of legacy data capable of implementing an aspect of the enterprise industry model are identified. The identified one or candidate legacy assets for implementing the aspect of the enterprise industry model are then recommended to a user.
