Infoset assets

Each asset of the type Infoset represents an IBM® StoredIQ® user infoset. For each user infoset, you can decide whether it is to be published to the governance catalog.

System infosets cannot be selected for publishing. However, they might be added to the governance catalog as inferred objects for reflecting the ancestry of an infoset. The same applies to user infosets that are not marked for publishing but serve as input for infosets that are selected for synchronization. You can edit an inferred asset's details like any other's.

In the IBM StoredIQ Data Workbench user interface, the value Yes (Inferred) for any Publish to Catalog entry indicates such objects.

If you require system infosets to be synchronized as regular objects, contact your IBM representative.

The following table lists the information available in the asset catalog after an IBM StoredIQ object is published to the governance catalog.

Property or section	Notes
Context	A link to the details of the instance with which the asset is associated.
Long description	This information originates in IBM StoredIQ. Therefore, ensure that the object's description there is as detailed as possible to maximize the value for a governance user.
Assigned to terms	Any terms that might be assigned automatically during the synchronization from IBM StoredIQ and their respective category hierarchies. The term assignment is based on infoset or classification contribution. In addition, you can directly assign terms to the asset, which are then made available in IBM StoredIQ as asset attributes. If a term that is inherited from a data class is removed from an asset in the governance catalog, this term is not automatically reassigned. If such a term is removed from the related data class, it is also removed from the asset.
Include for governance	One of the following values: Regular All infosets and their associated objects in this infoset's ancestry are synchronized to the governance catalog per configuration. Inferred Partial To be referenced in the information about the operations that were used to create the infoset, the direct ancestor infosets must be present in the governance catalog. For this purpose, these infosets are synchronized to the governance catalog even if they are not configured for being published. These infosets have the type Inferred Partial. For infosets of this type, no references to the originating operations are created. If the infoset is included in the synchronization later, any missing information is added to the asset in the catalog and its type is changed to Regular.
Type	The infoset type as created in IBM StoredIQ: System or User
Composition	The composition of the data that is contained within an infoset: MixedLevel, if the infoset contains top-level and child-level objects, or TopLevel.
Total objects	The number of data objects in the infoset.
Size	The size of the infoset.
Creator	The person who originally created the infoset.
Created	The date and time the infoset was created.
Data classification	Classification contribution. A list of the data classes that contribute to the infoset. The information includes the number and the overall size of the objects that matched each data class and whether all or part of the objects in the infoset matched. For details, see Classification of infoset assets.
Tool ID	The infoset's internal ID in IBM StoredIQ.
URL	The URL to the infoset's ancestry in the IBM StoredIQ Data Workbench.
Volumes	Volume contribution. A list of the volumes on which the data in the infoset can be found. The information includes the number of objects and the size of the data that each volume adds to the infoset. This information is available only for volumes that are synchronized.
Originating operation	A link to the details of the operation that was used to create the infoset, such as the filter that was used or the infosets to which the operation was applied.
Applied operations	A list of all operations that were applied to the infoset to create other infosets, with the respective links to the operation details.

In the governance catalog, you can add the following information:

A short description of up to 255 characters
Labels
Stewards
Information about rules usage
An alias (business name)

This information is not made available in IBM StoredIQ.

In addition, you can apply custom attributes to the asset. This information and any assigned terms are made available as asset attributes in IBM StoredIQ.

You can access the catalog information from the infoset details in the IBM StoredIQ Data Workbench user interface:

The Infoset in Catalog field provides a link for accessing the volume asset in the governance catalog. When you follow this link, you must sign in to Information Governance Catalog or IBM Cloud Private for Data, which requires an account with appropriate security roles.
The Asset Attributes field provides a link for viewing synchronized terms and custom attributes in IBM StoredIQ if any were assigned to the asset in the governance catalog.
