Designing Data Governance
The job of the Data Governance layer in a Data Fabric architecture is to govern, protect, secure, and enable the discovery and understanding of data. A Data Governance layer in a Data Fabric builds a connected data ecosystem with metadata, embedding Data Quality, Data Lineage, Data Security, Protection and Privacy, and Master Data Management (MDM) into every phase of the life cycle of data. It is driven by an active metadata-infused framework that enables enforcement and automation.
In this chapter, we’ll review the design of the Data Governance layer in a Data Fabric architecture. We’ll discuss its metadata-driven and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) patterns. Finally, we’ll step through how the Data Governance layer is applied to the data life cycle.
In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:
- Data Governance architecture
- Metadata as a service
- The Data Governance layer
- Data Fabric’s governance...
