Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: This feature will enable organizations to define metadata validation rules based on compliance or guideline requirements and extract detailed reports for discrepancies. This will facilitate better data governance and streamlined updates to metadata across the organization.
Use-case: Organizations often face challenges ensuring metadata adheres to evolving compliance regulations or organizational guidelines. Manual validation processes are time-intensive and error-prone, leading to non-compliance risks and inconsistencies in metadata quality. This feature addresses the need for automated validation and actionable reporting.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
  • Metadata validation is performed manually or using scripts, leading to inefficiencies.
  • There is no unified interface or reporting mechanism to validate metadata against dynamically defined compliance rules.
  • Discrepancies or outdated metadata are identified late, causing delays in remediation and compliance violations.
Improved/Expected Behavior:
  • Provide an intuitive interface for users to define validation rules for metadata (e.g., required fields, formatting, values adhering to controlled vocabularies).
  • Automate metadata validation against these rules and generate detailed discrepancy reports.
  • Offer configurable outputs (e.g., exportable reports in CSV/Excel formats) for review and remediation.
  • Integrate with workflows for updating and re-validating metadata.
  • Include support for recurring or scheduled validation processes.
  • Ensure compatibility with diverse metadata structures and schemas.
