Abstract
A data set manager is configured to interact with data processing elements of an information processing system. The data set manager comprises a metadata capture module configured to access or otherwise obtain metadata characterizing data sets associated with the data processing elements, a reasoning module configured to perform one or more reasoning operations on the metadata, and an action recommendation module configured to identify one or more recommended actions for the data processing elements based at least in part on results of the reasoning operations. The metadata characterizes properties of the data sets and relationships among the data sets, and may be defined in accordance with at least one of a specified ontology and a specified class. The data set manager and associated data processing elements may be implemented, by way of example, in cloud infrastructure of a cloud service provider, or on another type of processing platform.
