Abstract

A system may store a plurality of first records comprising a first variable in a first data storage format. The system may also store a plurality of second records comprising a second variable in a second data storage format. The first data storage format may have a different data structure than the second data storage format. The system may then generate a catalog including a first location of the first variable and a second location of the second variable. The first location identifies the first data storage format, which is where the first variable is stored. The second location identifies the second data storage format, which is where the second variable is stored. The system may then receive a request to access at least one of the first variable or the second variable and access the first variable and/or the second variable in response to the request.
