Exporting metadata

Export data with relevant metadata tags from IBM Spectrum® Discover to Watson™ Knowledge Catalog .

About this task

The Watson Knowledge Catalog is a data catalog system that is not always able to scan relevant data sources and capture the relevant metadata from those files. IBM Spectrum Discover helps to bridge this critical gap by helping to export data to Watson Knowledge Catalog with all relevant metadata tags.

Procedure

  1. On the IBM Spectrum Discover Dashboard, search for the data to be exported by using a specific filter criteria.
  2. Click Export Data. The Export Data to Watson Knowledge Catalog window appears.
  3. Under Destination Catalog, select the catalog in Watson Knowledge Catalog where you want to export the data.
  4. Select the tags that you want to export from the list in Metadata Tags to Export.
  5. Click Submit.
  6. After completion of the process, the exported data is displayed in the Watson Knowledge Catalog with the tags that are imported from IBM Spectrum Discover.
    Now you have an alternative option to create a data management policy to export data to the Watson Knowledge Catalog by using the DATASET_EXPORT policy type.
    Note: Tags in IBM Spectrum Discover represent a name (for example, SizeRange) and a value (for example, small, large, or medium). In Watson Knowledge Catalog , the tags represent a value. The exported data maps both of these attributes and it creates a single label.
    For example, SizeRange:Small.
