Governing rulesets

Creating or promoting a ruleset to the Data Catalog enables organizations to:

• Govern and manage rules centrally within a shared library.
• Add business context to rules by assigning attributes such as:
  • Data quality dimensions
  • Severity levels
  • Process impact
• Assign ownership to rules to drive accountability and stewardship.
• Collaborate effectively through comments and notifications for rule-related discussions.
• Link rules to other Catalog objects, enabling aggregated dashboards and insights across:
  • Business processes
  • Business units
  • Data domains

Benefits

• Enhanced visibility of rule performance.
• Centralized monitoring of data quality initiatives.
