Abstract

A computer-implemented method of providing access to information stored in diverse formats comprises receiving from an application a semantic request having a request name that semantically identifies a type of information sought by the request, converting the received semantic request to a generic request having corresponding request parameters, transmitting the converted request to a data access system, receiving data from the data access system corresponding to the converted request, and providing the data to the application.
