Abstract

Methods for dynamic schema-based silicon IP analysis, qualification, data exchange, and integration are disclosed. Embodiments include determining a new resident schema associated with a function of a silicon IP design system that is different than a previous resident schema associated with a current view. Embodiments further include analyzing components of the new resident schema and parsing the current view and repository or IP database based on the new resident schema to extract pertinent data from the current view and the database and generating a new view by mapping the extracted data to the new resident schema where the new view includes viewable data associated with the function. Further embodiments may include presenting the generated new view to a user or storing the viewable data in a database. The new resident schema may be described in an XML or other appropriate schema language and notations.
