1. A communication network operation center network equipment inventory data platform, comprising: at least one processor; a non-transitory memory; a data store; a plurality of data collection logic modules stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, accesses raw data about network equipment items collected by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) element management systems (EMSs) and stores the raw data about network equipment items in the non-transitory memory; a marshalling application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, calculates a checksum on portions of the raw data about network equipment items and compares the checksum to a checksum stored in the data store associated with a corresponding portion of normalized data previously stored in the data store, when the checksums match updates the date stamp associated with the corresponding portion of normalized data previously stored in the data store, converts the raw data about network equipment items stored in the non-transitory memory, excluding the portion of raw data associated with a matching checksum, into a plurality of data structures, wherein converting the raw data comprises grooming the raw data to remove data content errors, detecting compressed raw data, and uncompressing the compressed raw data; a normalization application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, transcodes the data converted by the marshalling application from a plurality of OEM formats to a common format and stores the transcoded data in the data store as an inventory database; a network topology analysis application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, analyzes the converted data about network equipment items to determine physical parent-child relationships and logical parent-child relationships among the network equipment items and stores physical and logical topology relationship information in a network topology database; and a network operations center (NOC) management application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, presents a network management view of network equipment based on the inventory database and presents a network management view of network equipment based on the network topology database.
