The disclosed computer-implemented method for utilizing information-asset metadata aggregated from multiple disparate data-management systems may include (1) receiving a request for information about one or more information assets of an entity whose metadata satisfies a metadata-search criterion, (2) identifying a global metadata repository that stores metadata of the information assets, (3) querying the global metadata repository for information about one or more of the information assets whose metadata satisfies the metadata-search criterion, (4) receiving, from the global metadata repository, information about at least one information asset whose metadata satisfies the metadata-search criterion, and (5) responding to the request using the information about the information asset. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for utilizing information-asset metadata aggregated from multiple disparate data-management systems

The disclosed computer-implemented method for automated aggregation of information-source metadata may include (1) receiving metadata of an information asset, the metadata of the information asset having been generated by a data-management system, (2) determining that the metadata of the information asset includes metadata of an information source that contains the information asset, (3) extracting the metadata of the information source from the metadata of the information asset, (4) storing the metadata of the information source in an information-source metadata repository such that the metadata of the information source is associated with the information source, and (5) providing access to the metadata of the information source stored in the information-source metadata repository to (a) the data-management system, (b) an additional data-management system, and/or (c) the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for automated aggregation of information-source metadata

The disclosed computer-implemented method for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems may include (1) receiving a first instance of metadata of an information asset from a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity in a first domain, (2) receiving a second instance of metadata of the information asset from a second data-management system that manages the information assets of the entity in a second domain that is separate and distinct from the first domain, (3) storing the first and second instances of metadata in a global metadata repository that is separate and distinct from the first and second data-management systems, and (4) providing access to the first and second instances of metadata stored in the global metadata repository to the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and/or the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
