DISCUSSION
Wayne Delia (over 2 years ago)
I am aware of a commercially available product from i2 Corporation. Part of their Demand Fulfillment application includes a very similar component, coincidentally named "Operational Data Store." Their product, Informatica, provides data mappings to retrieve data from one or more sources, combining all data into their ODS database, which is used as a central repository staging area as a basis to rebuild Demand Fulfillment engines into core memory on other computer workstations.

I'm having a real problem with this one in terms of obviousness. I have been a database developer for about ten years and I'm stretching to see any sense of inventiveness. For most of the claims, I have written code that performs these functions; these are not new techniques.
Unfortunately, I'm also struggling with how to nail down the demonstration that the claims are common. It may be that the way the claims are worded is overly broad. For example, transforming data between formats of two data structures can be done in many different ways in a database, including using an externally linked view, an XML fetch, a procedural language call or aliasing columns in a SQL statement. Does the patent intend to claim to cover these techniques?
The other part that I'm getting myself tangled about is that the claims seem to represent the problem and not the solution. The problem is that there are two separate data structures and data needs to move between then. There is an enablement requirement to patents, which I believe this fails. I submit that my ten years of experience make me at least somewhat skilled in the art, yet I cannot tell you how to duplicate the solution.Elizabeth Haring (over 2 years ago)
After reading this application, the querying methods described between the staging area and the operational area sound similar to methods used in Data Warehousing Applications, for example,
Integrated system and method of data warehousing and delivery
US Patent Issued on July 14, 2020
United States Patent 5781911.
There are many methods implemented to try to improve the efficiency of queries within these applications, but I would have to research as to wether there is a similar process alPEER TO PATENT ACTIVITY
