Systems and methods for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the computing device that hosts a global metadata repository, first information-asset metadata and second information-asset metadata, wherein;
the first information-asset metadata was received from and generated by a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity;
the second information-asset metadata was received from and generated by a second data-management system that manages information assets of the entity;
the first data-management system and the second data-management system are different types of data-management systems that manage the information assets of the entity in different fields of data management; and
the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and the global metadata repository are separate and distinct systems that are capable of independent operation;
determining, at the computing device, that the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata belong to a single information asset;
storing, at the computing device, the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata in the global metadata repository such that the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata are associated with the single information asset; and
providing, from the computing device, access to the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata stored in the global metadata repository to one or more of;
the first data-management system;
the second data-management system; and
the entity.

Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems may include (1) receiving a first instance of metadata of an information asset from a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity in a first domain, (2) receiving a second instance of metadata of the information asset from a second data-management system that manages the information assets of the entity in a second domain that is separate and distinct from the first domain, (3) storing the first and second instances of metadata in a global metadata repository that is separate and distinct from the first and second data-management systems, and (4) providing access to the first and second instances of metadata stored in the global metadata repository to the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and/or the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

10. A computer-implemented method for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
identifying, at a first data-management system, an information asset, wherein; the first data-management system manages information assets of an entity; a second data-management system manages information assets of the entity; the first data-management system and the second data-management system are different types of data-management systems that manage the information assets of the entity in different fields of data management; and the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and a global metadata repository are separate and distinct systems that are capable of independent operation; generating, at the first data-management system, first information-asset metadata of the single information asset; determining that the first information-asset metadata and second information-asset metadata belong to the information asset, wherein; the second information-asset metadata is stored in the global metadata repository; and the second information-asset metadata was generated by and collected from the second data-management system; storing the first information-asset metadata in the global metadata repository such that the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata are associated with the information asset. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems, the system comprising:
-
a receiving module, stored in memory, that receives, at a computing device that hosts a global metadata repository, first information-asset metadata and second information-asset metadata, wherein; the first information-asset metadata was received from and generated by a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity; and the second information-asset metadata was received from and generated by second data-management system that manages information assets of the entity; the first data-management system and the second data-management system are different types of data-management systems that manage the information assets of the entity in different fields of data management; and the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and the global metadata repository are separate and distinct systems that are capable of independent operation; a storing module, stored in memory, that; determines, at the computing device, that the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata belong to a single information asset; and stores, at the computing device, the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata in the global metadata repository such that the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata are associated with the single information asset; a providing module, stored in memory, that provides, from the computing device, access to the first information-asset metadata and the second information-asset metadata stored in the global metadata repository to one or more of; the first data-management system; the second data-management system; and the entity; and at least one processor that executes the receiving module, the storing module, and the providing module. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
