The intelligent application management system 430 of FIG. 4 may identify, search, and/or analyze one or more data sources such as, for example, data sources 510, 520, and 530. In one aspect, data source 510 may be and/or include structured data, data source 520 may be and/or include unstructured data, and data source 530 may be and/or include semi-structured data.

The intelligent application management system 430 of FIG. 4 may perform a searching operation (e.g., similar to a search engine to peruse the data sources 510, 520, and 530 for potential matches and receive a score for those data sources having a degree of relatedness and/or degree of importance. Each of the data sources 510, 520, and 530 may have and use the degree of relatedness and/or the degree of importance for ranking and be used for assigning a weighted value for the ranking operation. The higher the degree of relatedness or degree of importance assigned to each of the data sources 510, 520, and 530 based on the relationship to a data file, record, or software component, the higher the ranking may be for each of the data sources 510, 520, and 530. For example, the greater or increased number of times a data source is used, referenced, modified, adjusted, updated and/or labeled as important or relevant in relation to the software application, the ranking operation may assign a higher weighted value and/or confidence score to increase the ranking.
