Abstract
The subject matter of this disclosure relates to a software platform that ingests data from a variety of data sources, processes the data, and makes the data available for search. In addition, a data portal is described through which users can quickly find information and improve metadata to take advantage of the enterprise's data assets. Various aspects of disclosed software platforms include technologies for obtaining metadata without touching underlying data assets, technologies for using table or database lineage as a factor in determining document relevance, processes for receiving data pushed from data sources, and processes for exposing what a user needs to do to access particular data assets.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, from a data source, metadata describing underlying data assets, wherein the metadata is obtained without accessing the underlying data assets;
- storing the metadata in association with a search service;
- and
- making data stored in association with the search service available over a data portal.
A method comprising:
- receiving a query from a device;
- searching, based in part on the query, data associated with a search service to obtain search results, wherein at least one search result of the obtained search results is associated with database data asset comprising a database table or database report;
- determining relevance of the database data asset to the query based, in part, on a lineage of the database data asset;
- and
- providing the search results to the device in response to the query based, in part, on the determined relevance.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a process comprising:
- obtaining, from a data source, metadata describing underlying data, wherein the metadata is obtained without accessing the underlying data;
- storing the metadata in association with a search service;
- and
- making data stored in association with the search service available over a data portal.
