Abstract

A system and method for mapping a plurality of data base fields from an arbitrary ODBC-compliant data base to a plurality of attributes in a knowledge base having a known data attribute format is provided. The system includes a data base selection interface displayed on a display associated with a system user. The data base selection interface is configured to allow a system user to select the data base to map to the knowledge base having a known data attribute format. The system also includes a data attribute mapping interface, which is also displayed on the system user display. The data attribute mapping interface is configured to display a plurality of data attributes included in the knowledge base and to allow the system user to select at least one data attribute to map to at least one data field in the arbitrary data base to be converted. Also included is an edit field mapping interface, which is also displayed on the system user display. The edit field mapping interface allows at least one selected data attribute to be displayed and allows the system user to select a data base field to map to each displayed data attribute. Finally, the system includes a data map memory for st…
