FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to data confidence fabrics. More particularly, at least some embodiments of the invention relate to systems, hardware, software, computer-readable media, and methods for the implementation of data confidence fabrics and associated functionality in enterprise contexts.

BACKGROUND

A Data Confidence Fabric (DCF) annotates and scores data that flows within it. A DCF enables an application or user to measure data trustworthiness and thus acquire a level of confidence as it is processed by analytic frameworks and managed by data governance tools. While DCFs have sometimes been employed in edge contexts, a need remains for DCF functionality in enterprise contexts. However, and by way of example, usage patterns and transit of data in an enterprise are typically different than in an edge context. For these reasons, at least, implementation of DCFs in an enterprise setting is neither straightforward or trivial.
