Abstract

Techniques and architectures for data modeling and management. Data modeling services are provided to agents within multiple different operating environments of a computing environment having at least one database stored on one or more physical memory devices communicatively coupled with one or more hardware processors the one or physical memory devices. Building and versioning of data modeling projects is coordinated and data utilized for the data modeling projects with the one or more hardware processors.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a computing environment having at least one database stored on one or more physical memory devices;
one or more hardware processors communicatively coupled with the one or physical memory devices, the one or more hardware processors to provide data modeling services to agents within multiple different operating environments, the modeling services comprising at least coordinating building and versioning of data modeling projects and data utilized for the data modeling projects;
wherein the multiple different operating environments function with a system that provides multitenant environment that stores data for multiple client entities each identified by a tenant identifier (ID) having one of one or more users associated with the tenant ID, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the multitenant database is a hosted database provided by an entity separate from the client entities, and provides on-demand database service to the client entities;
wherein tenant data is managed with namespace objects having a single namespace identifier for multiple cloud environments having different cloud identifiers.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein data to be used for training is stored externally to the computing environment.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the data modeling projects provides at least a suggested classification with associated degree of confidence.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the modeling services function on data acquired from disparate heterogeneous cloud sources.

5. A method for data modeling and management, the method comprising:
providing data modeling services to agents within multiple different operating environments of a computing environment having at least one database stored on one or more physical memory devices communicatively coupled with one or more hardware processors the one or physical memory devices; and
coordinating building and versioning of data modeling projects and data utilized for the data modeling projects with the one or more hardware processors;
wherein the multiple different operating environments function within a system that provides multitenant environment that stores data for multiple client entities each identified by a tenant identifier (ID) having one of one or more users associated with the tenant ID, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the multitenant database is a hosted database provided by an entity separate from the client entities, and provides on-demand database service to the client entities;
wherein tenant data is managed with namespace objects having a single namespace identifier for multiple cloud environments having different cloud identifiers.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein data to be used for training is stored externally to the computing environment.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein at least one of the data modeling projects provides at least a suggested classification with associated degree of confidence.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein the modeling services function on data acquired from disparate heterogeneous cloud sources.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for data modeling and management, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to;
provide data modeling services to agents within multiple different operating environments of a computing environment having at least one database stored on one or more physical memory devices communicatively coupled with one or more hardware processors the one or physical memory devices; and
coordinate building and versioning of data modeling projects and data utilized for the data modeling projects with the one or more hardware processors;
wherein the multiple different operating environments function within a system that provides multitenant environment that stores data for multiple client entities each identified by a tenant identifier (ID) having one of one or more users associated with the tenant ID, wherein users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity, and wherein the multitenant database is a hosted database provided by an entity separate from the client entities, and provides on-demand database service to the client entities;
wherein tenant data is managed with namespace objects having a single namespace identifier for multiple cloud environments having different cloud identifiers.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 wherein data to be used for training is stored externally to the computing environment.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 wherein at least one of the data modeling projects provides at least a suggested classification with associated degree of confidence.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 wherein the modeling services function on data acquired from disparate heterogeneous cloud sources.
