The data center monitoring and management operation includes: receiving workload provisioning information associated with a data center asset, the workload provisioning information comprising a set of data elements; identifying an anomalous data element from the set of workload provisioning elements; remediating the anomalous data element to provide a remediated anomalous data element; and, provisioning a component of information technology infrastructure using the workload provisioning information and the remediated anomalous data element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising: receiving workload provisioning information associated with a data center asset, the workload provisioning information comprising a set of data elements; identifying an anomalous data element from the set of workload provisioning elements; remediating the anomalous data element to provide a remediated anomalous data element; and, provisioning a component of information technology infrastructure using the workload provisioning information and the remediated anomalous data element; and wherein the workload provisioning information is contained within a property bag, the property back containing a collection of workload provisioning information for use in performance of a workload provisioning operation; elements contained within the property bag are modeled as a weighted graph; the weighted graph is used when identifying the anomalous data element; the weighted graph is processed to generate an associated adjacency matrix, the adjacency matrix providing an indication of relatedness of the elements contained within the property bag; the adjacency matrix is transformed into a transition probability matrix; and the transition probability matrix is used to determine an Eigenvector of the weighted graph. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the workload provisioning information comprises a data contract, the data contract defining a structure, format and rules for exchange of data between counterparties. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the set of data elements within the workload provisioning information elements are represented as respective nodes within the weighted graph; and similarities between individual nodes of the weighted graph are represented as weighted edges. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the Eigenvector of the weighted graph represents a center of the weighted graph. ### Claim 5 A system comprising: a processor;
