Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for generating at least one report from a plurality of data sources. The system and method include a data source specification to indicate the data to be retrieved from the data sources so that the report may be generated based upon the extracted data. A view specification indicates how the data is to be visually represented within the report. A report rendering engine causes the data to be retrieved from the data sources in accordance with the data source specification, and creates in accordance with the view specification a visual representation of the report based upon the retrieved data.
