Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a governance graph representing data set interconnection. The data set interconnections may be based on common fields, sources, databases, applications, or patterns of usage. For example, the interconnections may be direct connections, where one data set is directly downstream from another data set. Alternatively, the interconnections may be indirect connections based patterns showing the data sets are commonly used together. For example, given data sets “A”, “B”, and “C”, if “B” is directly connected to “A” because it is downstream from “A”, and a particular group of users commonly use “B” and “C” together, “A” may be indirectly related to “C” based on the pattern of usage. In this example, the governance graph is configured to indicate the connection between “A” and “B” is stronger than the connection between “A” and “C”, whilst still showing said connection.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer system for creating user-specific representations of associations between data assets, the computer system comprising:

at least one processor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
and
a memory device storing executable code that, when executed, causes the processor to:
determine that a first user has accessed, via a first user device, a user profile associated with an entity;
receive a plurality of data assets from a plurality of sources, each of the plurality of data assets having one or more characteristics;
store the plurality of data assets into a data catalog;
compare the one or more data asset characteristics to determine one or more data assets having common characteristics, wherein the one or more common characteristics indicate a connection between the one or more data assets;
in response to determining one or more data assets having common characteristics, generate a governance graph depicting the one or more connections between the one or more data assets;
display, via a graphical user interface associated with the first user device, the governance graph depicting the one or more connections;
determine that a second user has accessed, via a second user device, an executive-level profile associated with the entity;
generate an executive-level governance graph depicting one or more factors associated the plurality of data assets;
and
display, via a graphical user interface associated with the second user device, the executive-level governance graph depicting the one or more factors associated with the plurality of data assets.

A computer-implemented method for creating user-specific representations of associations between data assets, the method comprising the steps of:

determining that a first user has accessed, via a first user device, a user profile associated with an entity;
receiving a plurality of data assets from a plurality of sources, the data assets having one or more characteristics;
storing the plurality of data assets into a data catalog;
determining one or more data asset characteristics for each of the plurality of data assets;
comparing the one or more data asset characteristics to determine one or more data assets having common characteristics, wherein the one or more common characteristics indicate a connection between the one or more data assets;
in response to determining one or more data assets having common characteristics, generating a governance graph depicting the one or more connections between the between the one or more data assets;
displaying, via a graphical user interface associated with the first user device, the governance graph depicting the one or more connections;
determining that a second user has accessed, via a second user device, an executive-level profile associated with the entity;
generating an executive-level governance graph depicting one or more factors associated the plurality of data assets;
and
displaying, via a graphical user interface associated with the second user device, the executive-level governance graph depicting the one or more factors associated with the plurality of data assets.
