System for metadata management

A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving user input selecting a first node in a first graph that includes nodes;
• receiving a first data lineage of a first object associated with the first node, the first object having a type, the first data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more datasets or transforms;
• receiving user input selecting a second node from second graph that includes nodes;
• receiving a second data lineage of a second object associated with the second node, the second object having the same type as the first object, the second data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more other datasets or transforms;
• performing a comparison of the first node and the first data lineage to the second node and the second data lineage;
• and
• generating a report based on the comparison.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• receiving user input selecting a first node in a first graph that includes nodes;
• receiving a first data lineage of a first object associated with the first node, the first object having a type, the first data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more datasets or transforms;
• receiving user input selecting a second node from second graph that includes nodes;
• receiving a second data lineage of a second object associated with the second node, the second object having the same type as the first object, the second data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more other datasets or transforms;
• performing a comparison of the first node and the first data lineage to the second node and the second data lineage;
• and
• generating a report based on the comparison.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• means for receiving user input selecting a first node in a first graph that includes nodes;
• means for receiving a first data lineage of a first object associated with the first node, the first object having a type, the first data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more datasets or transforms;
• means for receiving user input selecting a second node from second graph that includes nodes;
• means for receiving a second data lineage of a second object associated with the second node, the second object having the same type as the first object, the second data lineage describing relationships between the first object and one or more other datasets or transforms;
• means for performing a comparison of the first node and the first data lineage to the second node and the second data lineage;
• and
• means for generating a report based on the comparison.
