This invention describes a system that keeps track of data as it changes and moves between different sources. It does this by applying specific conversion instructions to individual pieces of data, automatically assigning a new version number whenever these instructions are changed. This ensures that every version of the data is precisely linked to the exact instructions used to create it, allowing for detailed tracking of data transformations.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of complex data lakes and stringent data governance regulations like GDPR. The system's granular data lineage and automated version synchronization are now critical for compliance and managing modern data pipelines.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
