Data Lineage Scoring and Filtering Mechanism

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing scoring criteria that evaluate data assets based on multiple attributes (business relevance, data quality, usage frequency, etc.). This transforms the raw comprehensive data lineage information into a scored and prioritized representation, allowing users to focus on high-value assets while maintaining access to complete information when needed.

The patent implements local quality by applying different scoring weights and criteria to different types of data assets based on their specific characteristics. Each data asset is evaluated according to its own relevance to business objectives, data quality metrics, and usage patterns, rather than applying a uniform filtering approach to all assets.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating scores for all data assets in the lineage path before presenting information to users. The scoring function evaluates business relevance, data quality, and other criteria in advance, so that when users query data lineage, they immediately receive prioritized results rather than having to filter through comprehensive information manually.

The patent transforms the presentation of data lineage information by introducing scoring parameters that rank assets according to their importance. This parameter change allows the system to maintain complete lineage information internally while presenting a time-efficient, prioritized view to users based on configurable scoring criteria.

The patent implements local quality by tailoring the presentation of data lineage information to specific user needs and contexts. Different users or user groups can configure scoring criteria that reflect their particular objectives, such as focusing on data quality for compliance users or on usage frequency for operational users, making the information more useful for their specific purposes.

The patent applies dynamics by making the data lineage presentation adaptive and configurable. Users can modify scoring criteria and weights based on their evolving needs, and the system dynamically adjusts which assets are highlighted or filtered in the results, rather than providing a static comprehensive view that may not align with current user objectives.
