Zone-based database management systems and methods for data governance

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating dataset zones, wherein a plurality of datasets from a plurality of sources are received and stored into a data catalog. The method further includes: (1) generating a first zone comprising a transient zone and configured for storing the sourced data from the plurality of datasets; (2) generating a second zone comprising a raw zone and configured for storing raw data generated from the sourced data after it has been ingested and organized; (3) generating a third zone comprising a trusted zone and configured for storing standardized data generated from the raw data after it has been ingested and organized according to one or more data governance policies; and (4) generating a fourth zone comprising a refined zone and configured for storing business-specific data generated from the standardized data.
