On Monday, Hodgson showcased TopQuadrant’s TopBraid EDG and Addressing the Data Governance Needs of Dynamic Enterprises.
Presentation Summary:
Data governance is increasingly diverse in its scope. Are your tools up to the job? Do they provide flexibility to seamlessly modify and extend what governance has to address and the types of assets being governed?
In this short presentation we showcase TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance (EDG). As a modular, extendable solution, it provides a model-driven approach to integrated governance over multiple types of assets, including business glossaries, reference data, crosswalks, ontologies, taxonomies, data, policy and lineage models and other business, technical and operational metadata. Governance of “linked assets” enables capabilities that make data “meaningful”. We will show how TopBraid EDG delivers:
- Governed specification of Data Elements
- Visibility into how data is produced and consumed in support of business capabilities
- Comprehensive traceability from glossaries to data elements to their usage
- Highly customizable and extendable standards-based information models
- Automated notification of changes to RACI roles
- Extensive reporting and querying capabilities through generated REST services
- Agile responsiveness to new governance requirements such as regulatory compliance
Using standards-based graph technologies, TopBraid EDG supports governance across the ever-growing numbers and types of assets and governance requirements. Ralph Hodgson is a co-founder and CTO at TopQuadrant, where he combines his expertise in semantic technologies with over 25 years of experience in business application development and deployment, consulting, software development and strategic planning.
