  • Patent number: 9916210
    Abstract: According to an aspect, data asset reconstruction includes receiving a data lineage for a data asset, where the data lineage identifies a data source connected to the data asset by an intermediate process. It is determined whether the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct a lost data asset. Based on determining that the intermediate process can be used to reconstruct the lost data asset, reconstructing the lost data asset with the intermediate process and the data source.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9256656
    Abstract: A computer implemented system for automatically determining a reliability score of a data report. The system includes a data structure indicative of data lineage that includes data assets flowing into a data report. The system further includes a processor configured to calculate trust scores for data assets based on characteristics of the data assets as well as a data report trust density score indicative of the reliability score of the report based on the calculated trust scores. The system further includes an output device configured to output the calculated data report trust density score.

  • Patent number: 8874435
    Abstract: A method for creating a glossary of terms, the method including identifying data labels in a computer-based document set, tracing any of the data labels to a computer-readable data source external to the computer-based document set, identifying as synonyms different data labels that are traceable to the same data source, and storing any of the data labels in a computer-readable data store.

  • Patent number: 8375011
    Abstract: Managing metadata in a metadata repository that includes parsing metadata to determine an identity of the metadata and individual items associated with the metadata. Converting the identity of the metadata and the individual items associated with the metadata into corresponding object structures. Storing the object structure representing the identity of the metadata into a first table of the metadata repository and storing the object structures that represent the individual items associated with the metadata into a second table of the metadata repository. Responsive to receiving a request to modify a row in the first table or a row in the second table, logically deleting the row being modified without actually deleting or modifying the row, and creating a new row within the first table or the second table having the modified row, in which the new row further includes a link to the logically deleted row.
