Technical Data Fabric architecture

A Data Fabric platform is infused with intelligent metadata that acts as a parallel universe, tracing and understanding the flow of data across its various stages, tools, systems, and processes. You can think about it as the kids’ game “copy me,” where one copies everything another says or does. In the case of metadata, it works in a similar manner except that it also derives insights and knowledge as the metadata is collected. It learns from its navigation and proposes improved approaches to data management. Active metadata is at the center of the Data Fabric universe. It focuses on enabling data that is fit for purpose, secure, and delivered with speed while increasing efficiency. Active metadata captures, from creation to end of life, all data details such as facts, decisions, relationships, and policies, to then take action by influencing its strategic and efficient direction.
