  • Patent number: 8983914
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for evaluating a trust value for a report are disclosed herein. The method includes obtaining one or more reports by the computer, where the reports are formed of one or more fields of data. An end-to-end lineage for the data is determined to trace the data back to the data source system from which the data had originated initially. Further, the method includes validating each of the multiple data source systems including intermediate tables, and determining a data quality score for each of the multiple data source systems. A trust value for the report is calculated based on the data quality scores for the one or more data source systems and intermediate tables, and rendered along with the report.

The method includes obtaining (110) one or more reports 270 by the computer 260, where the reports 270 are formed of one or more fields of data. An end-to-end lineage for the data is determined to trace the data back to the data source system 210, 211, and/or 212 from which the data had originated initially. Further, the method includes validating each of the multiple data source systems 210, 211, and 212 including intermediate tables, and determining (130) a data quality score for each of the multiple data source systems 210, 211, and 212. A trust value for the report 270 is calculated (140) based on the data quality scores for the one or more data source systems 210, 211, and 212 and intermediate tables, and rendered along with the report.
