Well, your example is fairly generic, so I'll be guessing what you really want
to do.
I think you started on the right track with the factory. If I understand you
right, that one provides an adapter for the way the data is stored. You could
continue by storing the data type in the adapter, or whatever it returns, and
then processing it into some sort of facade processing class that will
internally decide what processing is required for what data and hide this
from the "main" script body.
