Abstract: A method of refactoring or normalising databases to convert soft type information, e.g. tuples of or columns of XML data into hard type information, comprising: profiling the soft type data to generate an attribute list with mapping suggestions to a hardened database structure; generating a data model definition and extract, transform, and load logic for transforming the soft type data based on the attribute list and mapping suggestions; executing the data model definition to create a new or modified database structure; moving data from an existing database structure to the new or modified database structure; and regenerating a services interface for access to the data.
