DERIVING AND AUGMENTING ACCESS CONTROL FOR DATA LAKES

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, access to a data set in a data lake can be specified using several approaches, based on the metadata and information attached. The metadata may be replicated from the original data source of the underlying data, and additional metadata may be modeled and stored to construct linkage information between data types. This linkage information may be used to automatically grant access to users to additional objects that are linked to objects that the user has explicit access to.
