Abstract
A system and method for assigning concepts to sets of values. Data is received, wherein the data is organized as a plurality of named fields and as two or more sets of values associated with the named fields, wherein each named field is assigned to a category. For each category, determine whether there is at least one identifier field for that category, wherein each identifier field is a named field that acts as an identifier for that category, and identify identifier fields, if any, for each category that have a unique value in the identifier field for that category for each set of values. Then select one of the categories as a concept representing the sets of values. In some embodiments, the data is organized as a table, wherein the named fields are columns and the sets of values are rows.
