US Patent 11789898 Data archival system and method

An apparatus may be configured to determine an industry object model based on an industry of a data set of an enterprise; generate an archive package for an archive time point by, for each data source, determining archival data of the data source to be archived and transforming the archival data of the data source into a set of data source objects based on the industry object model, and storing, in the archive package, the data source objects for each data source; identify a subset of the data source objects to be purged based on a purge time point; and remove the subset of the data source objects from the archive package. An apparatus may also be configured to generate and store a set of global objects that are represented in the data set, and to associate the set of data source objects with the set of global objects.
