GENERATION OF OPTIMIZED LOGIC FROM A SCHEMA

A method includes accessing a schema that specifies relationships among datasets, computations on the datasets, or transformations of the datasets, selecting a dataset from among the datasets, and identifying, from the schema, other datasets that are related to the selected dataset. Attributes of the datasets are identified, and logical data representing the identified attributes and relationships among the attributes is generated. The logical data is provided to a development environment, which provides access to portions of the logical data representing the identified attributes. A specification that specifies at least one of the identified attributes in performing an operation is received from the development environment. Based on the specification and the relationships among the identified attributes represented by the logical data, a computer program is generated to perform the operation by accessing, from storage, at least one dataset having the at least one of the attributes specified in the specification.
