CONTENT ENRICHER

Background

• target system usually requires more information that source system can provide
• Example below
  • Scheduling system: source
  • Accounting system: target
  • Customer Care: dataSource (contains additional information that scheduling does not have)

Pattern

Benefits

• No modification to CC / Scheduling system (might not be able to in the first place)
• Loose coupling between source and target
  • Albeit tight coupling between enricher and dataSource
  • But this is ok because of the inherent nature of the data
