TECHNIQUES FOR UTILIZING PATTERNS AND LOGICAL ENTITIES

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein are directed to utilizing patterns and logical entities to identify and maintain relationships between data assets. In some embodiments, a query comprising a logical entity qualifier, one or more pattern identifiers that indicate a pattern, and a data set identifier may be received. The pattern is executed against a data set corresponding to the data set identifier and one or more logical entities are generated based on this execution. A logical entity may be a label that represents a set of one or more data assets in a data set. Assets that share a label can share attributes that are described by the label. The label corresponding to each logical entity may be presented, where each label represents a different set of data assets which share a common trait. In some embodiments, the user may define a pattern by which commonality may be assessed.
