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, from a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity in a first domain, a first instance of metadata of an information asset, the first instance of metadata having been generated by the first data-management system;
receiving, 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, a second instance of metadata of the information asset, the second instance of metadata having been generated by the second data-management system;
storing the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata in a global metadata repository that is separate and distinct from the first data-management system and the second data-management system such that the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata are associated with the information asset;
providing access to the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata stored in the global metadata repository to one or more of;
the first data-management system;
the second data-management system;
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 in a first domain; generating, at the first data-management system, a first instance of metadata of the information asset; storing the first instance of metadata in a global metadata repository that; stores a second instance of metadata of the information asset that was collected from a second data-management system that; generated the second instance of metadata; and manages the information assets of the entity in a second domain that is separate and distinct from the first domain; is separate and distinct from the first data-management system and the second data-management system. - 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, from a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity in a first domain, a first instance of metadata of an information asset, the first instance of metadata having been generated by the first data-management system; receives, 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, a second instance of metadata of the information asset, the second instance of metadata having been generated by the second data-management system; a storing module, stored in memory, that stores the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata in a global metadata repository that is separate and distinct from the first data-management system and the second data-management system such that the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata are associated with the information asset; a providing module, stored in memory, that provides access to the first instance of metadata and the second instance of metadata stored in the global metadata repository to one or more of; the first data-management system; the second data-management system; the entity; 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)
