Abstract

A mechanism is provided for identifying a usage for data in a data structure. A set of configuration files associated with a set of services are analyzed to identify at least one class associate with the data in the data structure thereby forming a data structure-to-class mapping. Source code associated with the set of services is analyzed to identify a set of services used by at least one class in the data structure-to-class mapping thereby forming a service-to-class mapping. A set of specification files associated with the set of services are analyzed to identify a set of uses associated with at least one service in the service-to-class mapping thereby forming a use-to-service mapping. An identification of usage information of the data structure is generated using the data structure-to-class mapping, the service-to-class mapping, and the use-to-service mapping.
