  • Patent number: 11263224
    Abstract: Text including at least a first term can be presented on a display. An enterprise glossary can be queried to identify at least a first curation parameter assigned to the first term. A first score can be determined for the first term based, at least in part, on the first curation parameter assigned to the first term. The first score can be assigned to a first data value. The first data value can be presented on the display.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10776740
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor that can generate a first lineage graph based on a first set of monitored assets and processes used to produce a data asset. The processor can detect a data quality issue at the data asset. The processor can also generate a second lineage graph including a second set of monitored assets and processes that produced the data asset with the data quality issue. The processor can further compare the second lineage graph with the first lineage graph to detect a potential root cause of the data quality issue. The processor can also further modify an asset or process corresponding to the potential root cause of the data quality issue.

  • Patent number: 9886489
    Abstract: Text including at least a first term can be presented on a display. An enterprise glossary is queried to identify other terms that match the first term. Data assets to which each of the other terms are linked and which include data values for the other terms can be identified. A first score indicating a level of relevance of the respective data asset to an enterprise is assigned to each of the data assets. A frequency distribution of the data values in the data assets is determined. Based at least on the first scores indicating the level of relevance of the respective data assets to the enterprise and the frequency distribution of the data values in the data assets, second scores are assigned to each of the data values. A plurality the data values which are assigned highest of the second scores are presented on the display.

  • Publication number: 20170371711
    Abstract: Optimizing operational costs in a computing environment includes identifying high-cost jobs that are executed to generate one or more reports in the computing environment, identifying one or more reports the generation of which is dependent on the execution of the high-cost jobs, and culling at least a first job from among the high-cost jobs, in response to determining that a benefit achieved from the reports that depend on the first job does not justify costs associated with generating the reports.
