Data Profiling and automatic metadata tagging

[raghav_jinka]

Hi

In Metadata explorer what I observe is if I have a HANA table staged with personal data and I initiate profiling against the dataset, DI does not automatically tag with any possible metadata tagging even if the field name explicitly states it as date of birth field or name field. So I have to do tag them manually. I also understand from one of the expert sessions that this feature was shown by integrating with BigID tool. But looking to further understand its native capabilities:

1. Is there a way DI can be enabled to do better profiling and automatic tagging ?

2. Is there a way DI can communicate with metadata integrators to do automatic tagging ?

3. Are there any templates to use AI/ML in DI to profile the data and integrate with Metadata explorer ?

Thanks
Raghav

Hi Raghav - apologies for the delay in response. Yes, the BigID solution does work with SAP Data Intelligence - there is a metadata exchange integration. Additionally, the solution can be purchased through SAP as a Solution Extension or through BigID (and it is also an Endorsed App on the SAP Store). But to specifically answer your question, SAP DI is not a requirement. BigID can enrich the data within SAP DI and is complementary, but many customers run BigID on its own and/or integrate it with other solutions. Glad to answer more questions if and as needed. Best, Jon
