Description

Related Applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/210,951, entitled “DATA GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS,” filed on 15 June 2021, and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/295,693, entitled “DATA GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS,” filed on 31 December 2021, each of these provisional applications is incorporated herein by reference in whole. This aspect of the disclosure relates to data governance technologies for data managed by data processing systems. In particular, this aspect of the disclosure provides technologies for efficiently verifying that data assets managed by data processing systems conform to one or more data governance policies. Modern data processing systems manage vast amounts of data (e.g., millions, billions, or trillions of data records) and control how this data can be accessed (e.g., created, updated, read, or deleted). The data managed by a data processing system can be of any appropriate type. For example, data managed by a data processing system may include transactions, documents, tables, files, or any other appropriate type of data. Another example is that data managed by a data processing system may include "metadata," which is data containing information about other data (e.g., stored within the same data processing system and/or other data processing systems). For example, a data processing system may store metadata about credit card transaction data stored in a table in a credit card company's database. Non-limiting examples of such metadata include information indicating the size of the table in memory, when the table was created, when it was last updated, the number of rows and/or columns in the table, where the table is stored, and who has permission to read, update, delete, or perform any other appropriate action on the data table.
