A
metadata-driven enterprise
data architecture system for
automated data collection,
processing, and reporting, consisting of: a centralized
metadata control repository configured to store canonical enterprise data models and business semantic definitions, source-destination mapping rules and transformation logic,
data quality thresholds and matching parameters, governance policies and compliance controls, data
provenance relationships and audit tracking rules, security and
access control configurations, planning instructions and reporting specifications; an execution and
orchestration engine that is operationally connected to the
metadata control repository and configured to dynamically interpret metadata definitions, automatically implements
data ingestion pipelines to extract data from legacy systems, cloud platforms, application interfaces, files, and streaming sources, performs transformation operations such as normalization, enrichment, deduplication, aggregation, and format
harmonization to align the ingested data with the canonical enterprise
data model, applies metadata-driven
data quality validation,
exception handling, and reconciliation processes to ensure accuracy and consistency, and enforces metadata-defined security policies, including role-based
access control,
encryption, and
data masking.Automatic capture of
complete data provenance and audit records across all
processing stages and creation of standardized operational, analytical, and regulatory reports based on metadata-defined reporting structures and
business metrics; where changes to metadata definitions automatically modify the collection,
processing, governance, security, and reporting behavior without requiring manual redesign of data pipelines or application code.
