Abstract
A computer system for matching format defining data structures with at least one data-containing structure of a group of potentially corresponding data-containing structures is disclosed. The system is made up of at least one processor, non-volatile storage, multiple data-containing structures and multiple format defining data structures. The processor will analyze attributes of at least some of the data-containing structures according to a set of validation rules to identify a set of potential candidate format defining data structures for potentially corresponding to the data-containing structures, analyze at least some of the multiple format defining data structures according to at least one of the validation rules to identify a set of candidate data-containing structures containing data elements having formats substantially corresponding to at least one of the format defining data structures, and rank the set based upon correspondence between one or more of data types or values.
