Establishing governance rules over data assets
View Patent ↗Transform governance rules for a data asset to apply to a set of related data assets. Establishing a governance rule over a first data asset based on a second governance rule applied to either an upstream or a downstream data asset.
1. A computer program comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:
first instructions executable by a device to cause the device to display a plurality of data assets from a data asset storage as a data lineage graph;
second instructions executable by a device to cause the device to determine a first relationship between a first data asset in the plurality of data assets and a second data asset in the plurality of data assets is a direct-read relationship;
third instructions executable by a device to cause the device to determine a first governance rule applied to the first data asset, wherein the first governance rule relates to a lookup function;
fourth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to transform the first governance rule into a second governance rule based, at least in part, on the first relationship, wherein the second governance rule relates to a pivot function;
fifth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to apply the second governance rule to the second data asset;
sixth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to determine a second relationship between the second data asset and a third data asset in the plurality of data assets is an indirect-write relationship;
seventh instructions executable by a device to cause the device to transform the second governance rule into a third governance rule based, at least in part, on the second relationship, wherein the third governance rule relates to a merge and join function;
eighth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to apply the third governance rule to the third data asset;
ninth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to identify the first data asset, the second data asset, and the third data asset on the data lineage graph; and
tenth instructions executable by a device to cause the device to store the first governance rule, the second governance rule, and the third governance rule to a governance rule storage.
