INTERFACES FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED CONNECTION DATA FOR SHARED RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising the following:
- one or more processors;
one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a method for generating and displaying a user interface that allows data managers to provide supplemental metadata for data sources, the method comprising the following;
an act of generating a user interface (UI) that shows an indication of one or more data elements to which a metadata catalog is linked, the metadata catalog including references to one or more different data sources that store data elements;
an act of receiving at the UI an input indicating that metadata for at least one of the data sources is to be modified, the modification including at least one of the following;
providing additional metadata for a specified data source, providing documentation for a specified data source and providing an entry point for an access request workflow;
an act of performing the received data source metadata modification according to the received input; and
upon determining that the metadata has been modified, an act of displaying the updated metadata for the data sources in the UI.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein are directed to generating and displaying a user interface that allows data managers to provide supplemental metadata for data sources. In one scenario, a computer system generates a UI that shows an indication of data elements to which a metadata catalog is linked. The metadata catalog includes references to different data sources that store data elements. The UI receives an input indicating that metadata for at least one of the data sources is to be modified. The modification includes providing additional metadata for a specified data source, providing documentation for a specified data source and/or providing an entry point for an access request workflow. The computer system performs the received data source metadata modification according to the received input and, upon determining that the metadata has been modified, displays the updated metadata for the data sources in the UI.

12. At a computer system including at least one processor, a computer-implemented method for generating and displaying a user interface that allows data managers to provide supplemental metadata for data sources, the method comprising:
-
an act of generating a user interface (UI) that shows an indication of one or more data elements to which a metadata catalog is linked, the metadata catalog including references to one or more different data sources that store data elements; an act of receiving at the UI an input indicating that metadata for at least one of the data sources is to be modified, the modification including at least one of the following;
providing additional metadata for a specified data source, providing documentation for a specified data source and providing an entry point for an access request workflow;an act of performing the received data source metadata modification according to the received input; and upon determining that the metadata has been modified, an act of displaying the updated metadata for the data sources in the UI. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product for implementing a method for generating and displaying a user interface that allows data managers to provide supplemental metadata for data sources, the computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the computing system, cause the computing system to perform the method, the method comprising:
-
an act of generating a user interface (UI) that shows an indication of one or more data elements to which a metadata catalog is linked, the metadata catalog including references to one or more different data sources that store data elements; an act of receiving at the UI an input indicating that metadata for at least one of the data sources is to be modified, the modification including at least one of the following;
providing additional metadata for a specified data source, providing documentation for a specified data source and providing an entry point for an access request workflow;an act of performing the received data source metadata modification according to the received input; and upon determining that the metadata has been modified, an act of displaying the updated metadata for the data sources in the UI. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
