3.5.1: Pedigree and Security Metadata

Associate Data Pedigree and Security Metadata

Other Information:

The Resource Descriptors elements of the DDMS (see Figure 7) allow identification of the author, publisher, and sources contributing to the data, allowing users and applications to assess the derivation of the data (i.e., data pedigree). This metadata allows users and applications to select data from known sources. Reliable and quality sources will become more widely used, enhancing overall data quality throughout the Enterprise as more data sources become visible. The Security Descriptors elements of the DDMS (see Figure 7) allow security and privacy markings consistent with established standards where applicable. For information assurance (IA) and security, GES will provide auditing tools that can track access, by individual user, of each data asset. GES may also provide access control to data assets based on security markings in the metadata.
