Abstract
Mechanisms to help a computing system respond to a request for information within a data model. After determining that there is insufficient information within the data model to respond to the request, the computing system identifies one or more additional data sources that are external to the data model and that contain information suitable to respond to the request. The computing system then automatically supplements the data model with at least one of such additional data sources. The computing system then responds to the request using the supplemented data model. In some embodiments, the supplementation is performed in advance of the request by analyzing the characteristics of the data model and/or by anticipating possible future requests. Thus, a data model grows automatically in response to particular usage of that data model to satisfy requests.
