102: Build the Business Glossary

This section creates all the governance artifacts needed to establish a trusted, business ready, analytics foundation. It uses a set of CSV files to import and create the artifacts in the upcoming steps, so make sure you have downloaded and unzipped the zip file you were instructed to in the Download the Lab Files section above.

It is essential to establish the business glossary first before any data curation, or cataloging of data assets takes place. This is because governance artifacts, like data classes and business terms, can be automatically assigned to data assets during metadata enrichment and cataloging. If not, you would have to do all of those tasks manually, which defeats taking advantage of the automated and built-in data governance capabilities of Watson Knowledge Catalog.

Building a complete and meaningful business glossary can be very labor intensive and time consuming without automated processes in place. Fortunately, Watson Knowledge Catalog (WKC) provides governance artifact import capabilities to automate and expedite this process. You will use this feature to methodically create data governance artifacts using prebuilt CSV files to populate the business glossary with all the needed artifacts. There is a specific order that you must follow to create governance artifacts. This lab instructs you on that process (do not deviate from the order in which they are defined) to ensure all governance artifacts are defined in the proper sequence to establish proper relationships between them, and to avoid any errors and conflicts.

If at any point during these instructions you get a pop-up message from Watson Knowledge Catalog asking to guide or assist you, dismiss it and simply follow the steps in the instructions.

1. Create Categories

Categories act as folders or directories to organize governance artifacts and provide access controls to authorize who can author and manage those artifacts. Categories provide the logical structure for all governance artifacts, except data protection rules. You group governance artifacts in categories to make them easy to find and manage, and to control their visibility. Categories can be organized in a hierarchy based on their meaning and relationships to one another. A category can have subcategories, but a subcategory can have only one direct parent category.

In this section, you will import and create the 3 categories (one parent category and two sub-categories) that will provide the logical structure for the governance artifacts you will define in this lab.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select Governance > Categories from the menu.
  1. Using the Add category dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-categories.csv file from your download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select the Replace all values merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should succeed with 3 new categories.

  1. Select the Close button.

Note: If the new categories do not appear in the user interface after a successful import, refresh the page in your browser.

To view the new category and sub-categories:

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Categories menu.
  1. Select the Category explorer icon in the upper left corner to get a tree view.
  1. Expand the Person category to view all sub-categories.

You should see the [uncategorized] and Locations system categories and the 3 new categories you just imported and created with a parent category named: Person and two sub-categories underneath it named: Employee and Privacy.

2. Update Classifications

The default Classifications supplied by Watson Knowledge Catalog in the [uncategorized] category are excellent. They have well written descriptions, so there is no need to create new classifications, but you will update them. You will reassign them to the new Person > Privacy sub-category and augment them by adding tags and associating them to secondary categories they apply to: Person and Employee.

You can change the primary category of the classifications assigned to the [uncategorized] category, but you can not do it using the import method. You have to update each classification manually to change their primary category. If you attempt to change the primary category of an existing classification, by specifying a new primary category name in the import file, the import ignores the value and creates a new classification assigned to the new primary category you specify in the import file, and leaves the original classifications in the [uncategorized] category.

You could delete the existing classifications, and add them back under a different category, but you have to be very careful deleting classifications because they might be referenced by other governance artifacts and cataloged data assets. So, to maintain referential integrity, you will update them using the import method to add the tags and associate them to the secondary categories and then manually change their primary category from the [uncategorized] category to the new Person > Privacy sub-category. This will save time, educate you on the import method for classifications, how to change their primary category properly, and ensure the classifications can be used by the search engine when users search for information related to a Person, Employee or Privacy.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Classifications menu.
  1. Using the Add classification dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-classifications.csv file from your download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select the Replace only defined values merge option.

    Note: This option is the best choice when you want to update attributes for existing governance artifacts. It leaves the existing artifact in place and only updates values with new values you supply and leaves all other attributes unchanged.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should complete successfully with 4 classifications in draft mode.

Note: From this point forward, all governance artifacts have to be published. Categories and Data Protection Rules do not need to be published but all other governance artifacts you create or update will be in draft mode until you publish them.

  1. Click the Go to task button.

Familiarize yourself with the Task inbox. On the left are the open tasks that need to be published and the tasks you have already completed. You are always presented with the details of the task in the middle of the page. Notice that you are publishing 4 classifications with a means to view the details of each one.

  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish button again without entering a comment.
  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Classifications menu.

You should now see the 4 original classifications, which are still assigned to the [uncategorized] category, but with a Last Modified date of today (the day you are doing this lab).

You will now edit each classification and change the primary category to the Person > Privacy sub-category. During this process you will see the Person and Employee secondary categories and tags you just imported.

The instructions below will walk you through updating the Confidential classification using screen shots. There will not be any screen shots to update the remaining classifications. Follow the same process used to update the Confidential classification using the instructions provided for each classification listed.

  1. Click the Confidential classification. The first classification in the list.

Notice the Secondary categories that the classification was assigned to and the Tags that were added during the import process.

  5. Click the Select & replace button.

  6. Select the Publish button.

  7. Select the Publish button again without entering a comment.

  8. Select the Classifications breadcrumb link in the upper left corner to go back to the Classifications home page.

Update Sensitive Personal Information


  1. Select the Sensitive Personal Information classification from the list.

  2. Click the Edit button (looks like a pencil) in the Primary category section.

  3. Select the Person category.

  4. Select the Privacy sub-category.

  5. Click the Select & replace button.

  6. Select the Publish button.

  7. Select the Publish button again without entering a comment.

  8. Select the Classifications breadcrumb link in the upper left corner to go back to the Classifications home page.

All of the Classifications should now be displayed as residing in the Privacy category instead of the [uncategorized] category. If you hover over each one with your mouse, you will see that the category is actually the Person > Privacy sub-category.

3. Create Data Classes

Watson Knowledge Catalog supplies 165 data classes out of the box. You will add additional data classes to support the analytics project use case. Unlike Classifications and other governance artifacts, Watson Knowledge Catalog has a dependency on data classes residing in the [uncategorized] category and only looks for and uses data classes in that category, so you will add the new data classes to the [uncategorized] category to ensure they can be used during the metadata enrichment data profiling process.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Data classes menu.
  1. Using the Add data class dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-data-classes.csv file from your download location.

  2. Click Open.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select Replace all values merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should complete successfully with 14 new data classes in draft mode.

  1. Click the Go to task button.

You should see 14 new data classes to publish.

  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish button again without entering a comment.
  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Data classes menu.
  1. Using the Sort by: dropdown, select Last modified.

There should be 14 newly published data classes that are assigned to the [uncategorized] category with a Last modified date of today (the day you are doing this lab). The screen shot above displays the first 7 newly added data classes.

  1. Scroll down to see the remaining 7 data classes.

4. Create Business Terms

Business terms have references to data classes and classifications, and are referenced in governance and data protection rules, so they need to be imported after data classes and classifications but before importing or creating governance or data protection rules. Business terms can also be related to other business terms so they must be imported in a specific order. The business terms in the CSV import file you will use are in the correct order to establish these relationships.

You will import and create 150 business terms. Using the import process for such a large volume of governance artifacts is a prime example of the type of productivity automation that is provided by Watson Knowledge Catalog. This is a huge time saver that runs in minutes. Doing this manually would take a data steward hours or days.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Business terms menu.

The environment used to create this lab, shown in the screen shot above, does not have any business terms. Your environment might look different. If you have business terms, scroll down to the bottom of the business term page, and make note of the number of business terms you have defined, so you can verify that you have successfully created the 150 business terms this step imports.

  1. Using the Add business term dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-business-terms.csv file from the download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select Replace all values as the merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should complete successfully with 150 new business terms in draft mode.

  1. Click the Go to task button.

You should see 150 new business terms to publish.

  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish button again without entering a comment.
  1. Sometimes it takes more than one try to publish. If you are prompted to retry the publish process:

    a. Click the Retry publish button.

b. Click the Retry publish button again to confirm the publish retry.

Note: An error message box may appear. You can ignore it. This is a known issue when publishing governance artifacts.

c. Click the X on the error message box to close it.

d. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).

  1. Select Governance > Business terms.
  1. Scroll down to the bottom of the business term page.

You should see 150 accessible (Published) business terms. Note: If you already had business terms published in your environment, your number will be different. Refer back to the number you were instructed to make a note of, and add 150 to that number to verify your total accessible business terms.

  1. Click the Return to Top button to get back to the top of the page.

Note: You will see the Return to Top button on pages that have large amounts of artifacts as a quick means to return to the top of the page without having to scroll.

5. Create Reference Data

Reference data sets provide logical groupings of code values (reference data values), such as department codes and gender codes. These codes are sets of allowed values that are associated with data fields and can be assigned to business terms. Which is why they need to be created after business terms are created.

You create reference data sets so that enterprise standards can be accessed centrally by users or by consuming applications through APIs. Reference data sets can also be used to provide the matching pattern for data classes, allowing data fields to be automatically classified through data profiling and discovery. These data classes can then be used in data quality analysis to evaluate the quality and consistency of the values in data columns. Which is why you create data classes before you create reference data.

In this section, you will create the Reference data sets for the Department and Position reference data sets with their corresponding data values. The reference data import process does not provide the means to supply the reference data values, or a CSV file that contains the reference data values, but you will be able to load the data values using the CSV files supplied after they are imported.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Reference data menu.

Import and Create Reference Data Sets


In this step, you will import and create the reference data sets with information about them: Name, Description, Tags, and Related business terms.

Notice that Watson Knowledge Catalog has predefined two reference data sets that reside in the Locations category. These reference data sets provide the physical location and sovereign location that you select when you are designing data location rules to move data from one location to another. Data location rules are in the experimental stage so you will not be using these reference data sets in this lab.

  1. Using the Add reference data set dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-reference-data.csv file from the download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select Replace all values as the merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should complete successfully with 2 new reference data drafts.

  1. Click the Go to task button.

You should see 2 reference data sets to publish.

  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish button again without entering a comment.

Sometimes it takes more than one try to publish. If you are prompted to retry the publish process:

a. Click the Retry publish button.

b. Click the Retry publish button again to confirm the publish retry.

Note: An error message box may appear. You can ignore it. This is a known issue when publishing governance artifacts.

c. Click the X on the error message box to close it.

d. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).

  1. Select Governance > Reference data.

You should see the 2 newly created reference data sets: Department Lookup and Position Lookup that are assigned to the Employee category.

Upload Department Lookup Data Values


You will now load the data values for the Department Lookup reference data set using the governance-reference-department.csv files supplied in the lab zip file.

  1. Click the Department Lookup reference data set in the list.
  1. Click the reference data Task dropdown (looks like three horizontal dots ...).

  2. Select Upload file from the list of tasks.

  1. Click the Browse for a file here or browse for a file to upload link.
  1. Select the governance-reference-department.csv file from the download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Reload artifact button to see the published version.

You should now be viewing the Published version.

  1. Select the Overview tab.

Notice the related business term and the tag that was added during the import process.

6. Create Governance Rules

Unlike data protection rules, governance rules are descriptive only rules and can't be enforced. A governance rule is a description of the criteria used to determine whether information assets are compliant with business objectives and provide the business definition of the required behavior or actions to be taken to implement a given governance policy or subject area such as information quality, retention, privacy, or regulatory compliance.

In this section, you will import and create 4 data governance rules related to information privacy and regulatory compliance to document the business requirements and actions that need to be taken to protect personal and sensitive information.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Rules menu.
  1. Using the Add rule dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-rules.csv file from the download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select the Replace all values merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

The import should complete successfully with 4 new Governance rule drafts.

  1. Click the Go to task button.
  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish again without entering a comment.
  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Rules menu.

You should see 4 published Governance rules with names that start with All.

7. Create Data Protection Rules

Data protection rules dynamically control access to data in governed catalogs, and under some conditions, in projects and Data virtualization. Data protection rules are automatically enforced when a catalog member attempts to view or act on a data asset in a governed catalog to prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensitive data. However, if the user who is trying to access the asset is the owner of the asset (by default, the user who created the asset), then access is always granted.

You will create 3 data protection rules that are enforced based on the data class assigned to columns of data assets. The rules will dynamically mask data values for data assets residing in governed catalogs, projects (if the data asset was added from a governed catalog), and virtualized data (if the data protection option is enabled) for the following sensitive information:

  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • US Social Security Number

You will use the Obfuscate masking method, using some of the advanced data privacy options, to mask data classified as an Email Address or a US Social Security Number. This will introduce you to the new advanced data privacy capabilities, and demonstrate how the obfuscation masking method maintains the original format of the data, and consistently replaces the original value with fictional values, every time it encounters the same value, to maintain referential integrity. The 3rd rule will use the Redaction method to protect data classified as a Phone Number.

Note: Even though this lab has you specify advanced data privacy options for two of the data protection rules you create, the Lite service plan of Watson Knowledge Catalog does not support the use of these advanced options. The instructions that are provided will give you the knowledge on how to use them, but they will be ignored when the data is masked. The obfuscation method will mask the data using the standard means for data classified as an Email Address or a US Social Security Numbers without using the advanced options that are specified.

Create the Protect Email Addresses Rule


In this step, you will create a data protection rule to mask data classified as an Email Address. You will use the Obfuscate masking method, using some of the advanced data privacy options that are specific to an email address.

  1. Using the Add rule dropdown, select New rule.
  1. Select Data protection rule.
  1. Select the Next button.
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Name field:
Protect Email Addresses
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Business definition field:
Protect all email addresses using the data privacy advanced masking method.

Specify the rule Criteria for Condition 1 as follows:

  1. Using the If statement dropdown on the left, select Data class.

  2. Using the If statement dropdown on the right, select contains any.

  3. Copy the text below and paste it into the Data class field:

Email Address
  1. Select Email Address from the data class list that appears. It should be the first entry in the list.

Specify the rule Action as follows:

  1. Using the then statement Action dropdown on the left, select mask columns.

  2. Using the then statement in columns containing dropdown on the right, select Data class.

  3. The Email Address data class will automatically be filled in for you.

  4. Select Obfuscate as the masking method in the Select masking method section.

  5. Scroll down to see the Advanced masking options but Do not Click Create!.

Specify the rule Advanced masking options as follows:

  1. Select the checkbox next to Enable advanced masking options.

  2. Using the Obfuscate method dropdown, select Preserve format.

  3. Select Generate user name for the Username format option.

  4. Select Original for the Domain name option.

  5. Select Irreversible masking for the Reversibility option.

  6. Select Repeatable for the Consistency option.

  7. Select Input validation for the Input Validation option.

  8. Select the On position to turn on the Auto refresh preview.

  9. Click the Create button.

You should see a Successfully created! message and see the new rule created.

  1. Select the Rules breadcrumb in the upper left corner to return to Rules main page.

Create the Protect Phone Numbers Rule


In this step, you will create a data protection rule to mask data classified as a Phone Number using the Redaction masking method. Masking phone numbers is challenging because you have to take into consideration whether they are United States or international phone numbers. If you are confident, and sure of their format, you can create an obfuscation data protection rule to preserve their format and replace the original value with a fictional value. If not, which is the case for this lab, the redaction method is the better choice because the format does not matter. The redaction masking method just replaces the existing values with a set of characters you designate.

Note: The Obfuscate masking method is unique to a single attribute type because it is dependent on the specific format of the content, so you have to create a separate rule for every attribute type. The Redaction and Substitute masking methods can mask data for multiple attribute types using the same rule, so you could create one master redaction rule and redact one to many attribute types using the same rule.

  1. Using the Add rule dropdown, select New rule.
  1. Select Data protection rule.
  1. Select the Next button.
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Name field:
Protect Phone Numbers
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Business definition field:
Protect all phone numbers using the redaction data privacy masking method.

Specify the rule Criteria for Condition 1 as follows:

  1. Using the If statement dropdown on the left, select Data class.

  2. Using the If statement dropdown on the right, select contains any.

  3. Copy the text below and paste it into the Data class field:

Phone Number

Select Phone Number from the data class list that appears. It should be the first entry in the list.

Specify the rule Action as follows:

  1. Using the then statement Action dropdown on the left, select mask columns.

  2. Using the then statement in columns containing dropdown on the right, select Data class.

  3. The Phone Number data class will automatically be filled in for you.

  4. Select Redaction as the masking method in the Select masking method section.

  5. Scroll down to see the Advanced masking options but Do not Click Create.

Notice that there are no Advanced masking options available when using the Redaction masking method for the Phone Number data class. This is not one of the advanced data privacy supported data classes.

  1. Click the Create button.

You should see a Successfully created! message and see the new rule created.

  1. Select the Rules breadcrumb in the upper left corner to return to Rules main page.

Create the Protect US Social Security Numbers Rule


In this step, you will create a data protection rule to mask data classified as a US Social Security Number. You will use the Obfuscate masking method, using some of the advanced data privacy options that are specific to a United States social security number.

  1. Using the Add rule dropdown, select New rule.
  1. Select Data protection rule.
  1. Select the Next button.
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Name field:
Protect US Social Security Numbers
  1. Copy the text below and paste it into the Business definition field:
Protect all US social security numbers using the data privacy advanced masking method.

Specify the rule Criteria for Condition 1 as follows:

  1. Using the If statement dropdown on the left, select Data class.

  2. Using the If statement dropdown on the right, select contains any.

  3. Copy the text below and paste it into the Data class field:

US Social Security Number

Select US Social Security Number from the data class list that appears. It should be the first entry in the list.

Specify the rule Action as follows:

  1. Using the then statement Action dropdown on the left, select mask columns.

  2. Using the then statement in columns containing dropdown on the right, select Data class.

  3. The US Social Security Number data class will automatically be filled in for you.

  4. Select Obfuscate as the masking method in the Select masking method section.

  5. Scroll down to see the Advanced masking options but Do not Click Create!.

Specify the rule Advanced masking options as follows:

  1. Select the checkbox next to Enable advanced masking options.

  2. Using the Obfuscate method dropdown, select Preserve format.

  3. Select Irreversible masking for the Reversibility option.

  4. Select Repeatable for the Consistency option.

  5. Select No validation for the Input Validation option.

  6. Select the On position to turn on the Auto refresh preview.

  7. Click the Create button.

You should see a Successfully created! message and see the new rule created.

  1. Select the Rules breadcrumb in the upper left corner to return to Rules main page.

You should now see the 3 new data protection rules with a total of 7 rules: 4 governance rules and 3 data protection rules. You have adhered to the governance rules defined by the business to protect all National Identifiers, Email Addresses and Phone Numbers.

8. Create Policies

The policies are created last because they have data protection and governance rules assigned to them. Therefore, the rules have to be created first before the policy so the rules can be assigned to policies. This lab and use case only has one policy but you will still continue to use the import process and then assign the rules to the policy.

  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Policies menu.

Note: Your environment may look different than the screen shot above. This environment does not have any policies defined.

  1. Using the Add policy dropdown, select Import from file.
  1. Click the Add file button.
  1. Select the governance-policies.csv file from the download location.

  2. Click the Open button.

  1. Click the Next button.
  1. Select the Replace all values merge option.

  2. Click the Import button.

  1. Click the Go to task button.
  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish again without entering a comment.
  1. Select the Navigation menu (the 4 stacked horizontal lines in the upper left corner).
  1. Select the Governance > Policies menu.

You should see 1 published policy named Protection of Sensitive Personal Information.

Assign Data Protection Rules to the Policy


In this step, you will assign all of the data protection rules you just created to the policy so they are cross-referenced in the business glossary, and so everyone in the organization understands the data protection rules that are enforcing the requirements of the governance policy.

  1. Click the Protection of Sensitive Personal Information policy.
  1. Scroll down to the Data protection rules section.

  2. Click the Add data protection rules button.

  1. Select the checkbox next to the Protect Email Addresses rule.

  2. Select the checkbox next to the Protect Phone Numbers rule.

  3. Select the checkbox next to the Protect US Social Security Numbers rule.

  4. Click the Add button.

  1. Click the Publish button.
  1. Click the Publish again without entering a comment.
  1. Scroll down to the Data protection rules section.

All of the data protection rules you just created are now assigned to the policy.
