Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a data classification system and method based on metadata, belonging to the technical field of data classification. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, businesses and organizations have accumulated vast amounts of data, which has become a vital digital asset. To effectively manage and protect this data, implementing data classification and tiering management has become a key requirement. Data classification and tiering management can help businesses identify sensitive data, rationally allocate resources, and develop targeted data security strategies to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

[0003] Traditional data classification and grading methods often rely on manual or simple scripting tools for data inventory. This makes it difficult to fully capture the data and metadata within the database, resulting in incomplete asset inventories and an inaccurate reflection of the company's data assets. Manual data classification and grading is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to errors. Faced with massive amounts of data, manual classification and grading is far from sufficient to meet actual needs, making it difficult to update and adjust classification and grading results in a timely manner and unable to adapt to rapid data changes.

[0004] Prior art, such as Chinese patent application publication number CN114297283A, discloses a metadata-driven data security management method and system, including the following steps: designing metadata and a metamodel based on a common repository metamodel standard; connecting a profiler and adapter as independent applets to the main system used to manage metadata; using the profiler to profile and process database services, and using the adapter to retrieve and store metadata from various data sources; automatically identifying and associating metadata based on the metamodel and the retrieved metadata, thereby constructing a directory for extracting detailed information from the retrieved metadata; using name matching and content sampling matching combined with NLP algorithms for automatic benchmarking to classify and classify data assets and conduct asset inventory; and assessing the overall risk profile of assets based on dynamic changes in the directory and metadata of data assets. Decoupling the profiler and adapter from the main system as independent applets facilitates expansion and flexible deployment, but this decoupling approach can lead to a decrease in system integrity and increased coordination costs between different components. When classifying and grading data, name matching and content sampling matching are used in combination with NLP algorithms for automatic labeling. However, the matching rules are mainly based on limited dimensions such as field names, field annotations, and data content. Complex data content and semantic information may not be accurately identified and classified. Summary of the Invention
