Data supply chain

A computer-implemented data supply chain method, comprising:

• facilitating discovery and cataloging of data;
• facilitating automated data contract negotiation associated with the data;
• preparing and authenticating the data based on the data contract, wherein responsive to authenticating the data, the hardware processor is further configured to automatically provide access to at least a micro-service for data access;
• monitoring data usage of the data at least at a level of the micro-service;
• performing automatic data contract settlement;
• responsive to automatically determining expiry of the data contract, performing data disposal;
• and
• performing automatic data forensics including at least invalidating a machine learning model that used the data that is revoked, checking compliance with data contract terms and regulatory requirements, and logging usage of the data by services and micro-services by date, time and geography, the automatic data forensics further including identifying machine learning models that were built on the data,
• wherein information associated with discovering, facilitating, preparing, monitoring, performing automatic data contract settlement, performing data disposal and performing automatic data forensics are recorded.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:

• facilitate discovery and cataloging data;
• facilitate automated data contract negotiation associated with the data;
• prepare and authenticate the data based on the data contract, wherein responsive to authenticating the data, the hardware processor is further configured to automatically provide access to at least a micro-service for data access;
• monitor data usage of the data at least at a level of the micro-service;
• perform automatic data contract settlement;
• responsive to automatically determining expiry of the data contract, perform data disposal;
• and
• perform automatic data forensics including at least invalidating a machine learning model that used the data that is revoked, checking compliance with data contract terms and regulatory requirements, and logging usage of the data by services and micro-services by date, time and geography, the automatic data forensics further including identifying machine learning models that were built on the data,
• wherein the hardware processor is configured to record, information associated with discovering, facilitating, preparing, monitoring, performing automatic data contract settlement, performing data disposal and performing automatic data forensics.
