Abstract
Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for generating a data structure are provided. A database stores a historic version of taxonomy data and a new version of taxonomy data. A processor, operatively connected to the database, accesses the database and analyzes the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data. The processor determines what changes have been made in connection with a particular reference data based on analyzing the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data; creates, based on determining, an association between the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data corresponding to said particular reference data; generates consistent metadata from said association; and generates a data structure that illustrates history of evolution of taxonomy in connection with said particular reference data based on the metadata.
