Data transformation system and method

Abstract

A method of transforming data including receiving data in a first language specific form, converting the data in the first language specific form to a language agnostic form, storing the data in the language agnostic form, converting the data in the language agnostic form to at least one second language specific form and exporting, on demand, the data in at least one of the at least one second language specific form.

         88 . A method of transforming data comprising:
 receiving unstructured product data describing attributes of an article, said unstructured product data comprising attribute values, which are assignable to a multiplicity of structured product attributes;   automatically converting said unstructured product data to structured product data in a form suitable for export to a specific electronic commerce platform, said structured product data comprising, for each attribute of said article, an attribute value associated with said attribute and at least one of a language specific attribute name of said attribute and a language agnostic attribute ID associated with said attribute; and   exporting said structured product data to the specific electronic commerce platform in said form suitable for export.   
     
     
         89 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said language agnostic attribute ID is specific to said electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         90 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said unstructured product data and said structured product data are in the same language. 
     
     
         91 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said unstructured product data and said structured product data are in the different languages. 
     
     
         92 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said automatically converting comprises automatically converting measurements to units of measure applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         93 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said automatically converting comprises automatically converting prices to a currency applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         94 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said automatically converting comprises utilizing a pricing policy applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         95 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said automatically converting said unstructured product data to structured product data in a form suitable for export comprises:
 analyzing said unstructured product data; and 
 extracting, from said unstructured product data, unstructured product-specific attribute values, which are assignable to corresponding ones of said multiplicity of structured product attributes. 
 
     
     
         96 . The method according to  claim 95  and wherein said automatically converting said unstructured product data to structured product data in a form suitable for export also comprises, subsequent to said extracting, assigning each of said unstructured product-specific attribute values to a corresponding one of said structured product attributes as at least one of a value and a value ID. 
     
     
         97 . The method according to  claim 88  and wherein said receiving said unstructured product data comprises automatically retrieving said unstructured product data from an electronic commerce platform different from said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         98 . A system for transforming data comprising:
 a data receptacle, receiving unstructured product data describing attributes of an article, said unstructured product data comprising attribute values, which are assignable to a multiplicity of structured product attributes;   a data transformer, automatically converting said unstructured product data to structured product data in a form suitable for export to a specific electronic commerce platform, said structured product data comprising, for each attribute of said article, an attribute value associated with said attribute and at least one of a language specific attribute name of said attribute and a language-agnostic attribute ID associated with said attribute; and   a marketplace listing exporter, exporting said structured product data to said specific electronic commerce platform in said form suitable for export.   
     
     
         99 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said language agnostic attribute ID is specific to said electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         100 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said unstructured product data and said structured product data are in the same language. 
     
     
         101 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said unstructured product data and said structured product data are in the different languages. 
     
     
         102 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said data transformer automatically converts measurements to units of measure applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         103 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said data transformer automatically converts prices to a currency applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         104 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said data transformer utilizes a pricing policy applicable to said specific electronic commerce platform. 
     
     
         105 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said data transformer analyzes said unstructured product data and extracts, from said unstructured product data, unstructured product-specific attribute values, which are assignable to corresponding ones of said multiplicity of structured product attributes. 
     
     
         106 . The method according to  claim 105  and wherein said data transformer assigns each of said unstructured product-specific attribute values to a corresponding one of said structured product attributes as at least one of a value and a value ID. 
     
     
         107 . The system according to  claim 98  and wherein said data receptacle automatically retrieves said unstructured product data from an electronic commerce platform different from said specific electronic commerce platform.
