Patent US 11,704,331

Dynamic generation of data catalogs may be implemented for accessing data sets in different storage locations. Data sets may be accessed in order to extract portions of data. Structure recognition techniques may be applied to the extracted data in order to determine structural information for the data sets. The structural information may then be stored as part of a data catalog for the data sets. Requests to access the data catalog from different clients may be received and the requested structural data supplied so that the clients may access different data sets utilizing the supplied structural data. Data catalogs may be updated as changes to data sets are made.
