Governance in the SAP Data Intelligence
solution
Data governance with data catalog – Guiding principles
Integrated
metadata view
Ability to create a single, integrated
view of data, without physically
consolidating or persisting data, using
a federated metadata catalog, allowing
other apps to subscribe/consume
metadata and to automate/suggest
Democratized
metadata
Enterprise metadata maintained by the
whole data community and not
dependent on a centralized IT team to
maintain, increasing data literacy and
democratization
Public
Rich contents
Rich business contents associated in
the catalog items with business
glossary, business rules templates, and
graph snippets to process the data
Business
semantics
Availability of rich business semantics
with core data services views from
SAP S/4HANA, SAP S/4HANA Cloud,
and ABAP extractors from SAP ERP
Central Component (SAP ECC) in the
catalog for the catalog users
Active metadata
Metadata used to unify complex and
disparate data, process, analytics, the
Internet of Things (IoT), and AI/ML
orchestration across distributed
architectures, managing complexity to
better support key use cases
Federated
metadata mgmt
Federated metadata management with
multiple data catalog with hybrid
deployment, substantial reduction in
understanding metadata while gaining
faster insight into quality and
trustworthiness of data assets

Data catalog in an enterprise

A data catalog is an organized inventory of data

assets with a set of associated services to enable all
users to rapidly discover and trust the data they
require, when they require it, so they can generate
impactful business insights instantly and drive
digital business actions.

Major use cases

Data discovery and governance – Discover data available in the enterprise with a
simple search by all personas including business users, business analysts, data
scientists, and data engineers. Further retrieve insight including expert rating, data
preview, profile, lineage, and impact analysis information.

Data quality monitoring – Define business rules and scorecards, and apply the
business rules to continuously monitor data quality.

Data preparation and enrichment – Enhance data with self-service data preparation
capability for business users and business analysts.

Prepare

Jobs to be done:
§ Automate data discovery (crawls, profiles, organizes, Search
links, enriches all your metadata)
§ Gain a deeper understanding of the data sources
(location, attributes, quality, lineage, sensitivity, …)
§ Make more accessible to data (easily searchable, Govern
access
alongside its lineage, uses, and value to the
Unified
organization) Glossary, data
§ Enable centralized authorization and security for data label, and tag catalog
orchestration, data refinement, scheduling, and
monitoring
§ Empower collaboration across teams and departments Transform
§ Maintain critical controls over data standards, privacy,
and security
§ Collaboratively author, enhance, extend, and publish
metadata for discovery and reuse Crawl and

Data quality monitoring
Validation rules and functions to monitor the trend of data quality in various sources

Validation rules to monitor data quality trends and scorecards

Main use cases:

§ Define data quality (DQ) thresholds and monitor using
scorecards for key DQ KPI Machine
sensor
§ Reuse rules binding them to data from various sources
§ Parameterize for dynamic validation rules
CRM

Capabilities:
Database
§ Tied with the connectivity and discovery from metadata
explorer
§ Rules dashboards for metrics and monitoring
§ AND/OR condition builder for complex conditions
§ Pipeline operators that extend to streaming and IoT data as
well
Public 11
Data quality monitoring
Rule dashboards to visualize the quality of data

A custom dashboard shows the data quality information on scorecards

that you’re interested in.

Use case:
§ Create a dashboard with custom tiles showing the
results of the data sets, categories, and rule books that
matter to users.
Capabilities:
§ A wizard is used to set up a scorecard based on the
object. The result shows either a line graph, bar chart,
donut chart, or trend score.
§ It allows you to create groups to organize your
scorecards. For example, you could create a trend group
that contains all the trend scores from your data sets,
categories, and rule book.
