Zone-based database management systems and methods for data governance

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for moving data based on data governance policies, wherein a plurality of datasets from a plurality of sources are received and stored into a data catalog. Predefined zones are generated, each having predefined policies. At least one common characteristic is determined for a first dataset and a second dataset. The system receives a request from an authorized user to move the first and second datasets into a particular zone and moves the datasets accordingly. The system then displays, via a graphical user interface, a representation depicting the first and second datasets. The predefined zones include a transient zone, a raw zone, a trusted zone, and a refined zone. The plurality of datasets move through the zones through a data pipeline that performs a data quality check to ensure that the data is moved through the zones according to the predefined polices.
