Dataset ranking based on composite score

A system comprising:

• a graph controller configured to process a plurality of datasets;
• an interface controller configured to generate a response comprising a plurality of dataset identifiers;
• a modeling application executing on one or more servers and configured for:
• identifying metadata for a plurality of datasets;
• generating a graph structure comprising a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges, each node of the plurality of nodes representing a respective dataset of a plurality of datasets, the plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes according to a data lineage determined from metadata of the plurality of datasets;
• generating a composite score for each node of the plurality of nodes of the graph to generate a plurality of composite scores;
• and
• processing the plurality of composite scores for the plurality of nodes of the graph to generate a dataset rank for each dataset, wherein processing the plurality of composite scores comprises:
• setting a respective dataset rank based on the composite score for each node of the plurality of nodes;
• recursively updating the respective dataset rank of each dataset based on the dataset ranks for of linked datasets, the linked datasets corresponding to a subset of the plurality of nodes that is directly connected to a node corresponding to the dataset;
• sorting the plurality of datasets according to the respective dataset rank;
• and
• a server application executing on one or more servers and configured for:
• presenting the plurality of datasets, sorted according to the respective dataset rank of each dataset.

A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code stored thereon that, when executed by a computer processor of a computing system, causes the computing system to perform the operations of:

• identifying metadata for a plurality of datasets;
• generating a graph structure in storage, the graph structure comprising a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges, each node of the plurality of nodes representing a respective dataset of a plurality of datasets, the plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes according to a data lineage determined from metadata of the plurality of datasets;
• generating a composite score for each node of the plurality of nodes of the graph to generate a plurality of composite scores;
• processing the plurality of composite scores for the plurality of nodes of the graph structure to generate a respective dataset rank for each dataset, wherein processing the plurality of composite scores comprises:
• setting a respective dataset rank based on the composite score for each node of the plurality of nodes;
• recursively updating the respective dataset rank of each dataset based on the dataset ranks for of linked datasets, the linked datasets corresponding to a subset of the plurality of nodes that is directly connected to a node corresponding to the dataset;
• sorting the plurality of datasets according to the respective dataset rank;
• and
• presenting, in an interface, the plurality of datasets sorted according to the respective dataset rank of each dataset.
