This publication describes an architecture method for dynamic no-code curation of custom data models from standard data models. This solution includes methods for business applications to seamlessly interact with structured data in standard or pre-defined data models, AND structured/unstructured data in user defined or volatile data models. The proposed solution includes methods to build a metadata layer and a unifying set of application programming interfaces (APIs) such that users can define their own data models or extend standard data models without changing processing logic or application code. The novel system uses commercially available relational database and NoSQL database technologies, commercially available cognitive classification routines, and commercially available API technology.
