Governance artifacts

You create a governance framework to govern and enrich your data by implementing governance artifacts in collaborative workspaces called categories. Some types of governance artifacts act as metadata to enrich data assets. Other types of governance artifacts control access to data assets or to other artifacts.

watsonx.data intelligence

You use governance artifacts for these purposes:

• Enrichment: Artifacts can add knowledge and meaning to assets.
• Control access: Artifacts can control who sees what data or which artifacts.
• Identification: Artifacts can act as criteria to identify assets or data for other artifacts.
• Quality: Artifacts can be used to monitor data quality.

You can use categories and governance artifacts from any or all of these sources:

• Predefined governance artifacts that are provided with IBM watsonx.data intelligence
• Custom governance artifacts that your governance team creates

The following table briefly describes categories and each type of governance artifact and indicates whether any of the items are predefined or available in Knowledge Accelerators.
