Curation Concepts Overview
Curation is the process of validating and managing discovered metadata of a data source so that the metadata is fit for use and reporting.
You can curate the following inferred profile results:
- •Datatypes
- •Data domains
- •Primary keys
- •Foreign keys
You curate inferred profile results to make the metadata about columns, data domains, and data object relationships in the databases and schemas accurate. You can then find the most relevant metadata when you use discovery search to search for information across multiple repositories. You can also find the most relevant metadata when you view the foreign key relationship diagram in the enterprise discovery results.
You can curate specific metadata inferences that a profile generates as part of the profile run. For example, you can approve or reject the inferred datatypes in the column profile results and data domain discovery results. You can also approve or reject the inferred primary keys and foreign keys in enterprise discovery results.
