  • Data discovery and analysis tool
    Patent number: 10120923
    Abstract: Resources for data lineage discovery, data lineage analysis, role-based security, notification. The resources may include or involve machine readable memory that is configured to store a technical data element (“TDE”); a receiver that is configured to receive a query for data lineage information corresponding to a business element identifier; and a processor configured to: register a logical association between the business element identifier and the TDE; and formulate the data lineage information of the TDE associated with the business element identifier. The receiver may be configured to receive a criterion that is required to access one or more technical data elements (“TDEs”) associated with the business element identifier. The receiver may be configured to receive an election to receive a notification of a change of data lineage. The processor may be configured to toggle between a first data lineage graph and a second data lineage graph.
