Governance Settings

Often times, a business wants to ensure datasets are added to their data repositories with specific business contextual information to help data consumers easily identify the context of the data. To help facilitate these requirements, data lake administrators can create simple governance policies to require specific tags when datasets are registered with the data lake. For example, a business may require that every dataset registered with the data lake must have a Category tag to identify the classification of the data. Additionally, the business want users to optionally define the Source of the data when registering a dataset. The following shows how the governance settings for this scenario would be defined in the data lake.
