Intelligent data to AI governance

Centrally discover, manage, monitor, and govern your data and AI assets across your data platform, providing access to trusted data and powering analytics and AI at scale.

Features

Unified governance in BigQuery

Unified governance, powered by Dataplex, is integrated into the data to AI life cycle so you can effortlessly discover, understand, govern, and use your data assets and AI models. BigQuery unified governance simplifies governance with data-to-AI lineage, data profiles, and data quality.

Gen AI-powered insights and semantic search

Leverage LLMs to connect, understand, and discover hidden relationships within BigQuery. The relationships are used to deliver automated metadata curation, cross-table query recommendations, glossary term recommendations, and more. Jumpstart your analytics with a curated list of questions that you can ask of your data using data insights. Discover data using natural language queries with universal semantic search, eliminating the need to remember search syntax and qualifiers.

Data to AI governance with Vertex AI and BigQuery

BigQuery integrates natively with Vertex AI, allowing you to instantly discover AI models, datasets, features, and related data artifacts you need in a single search experience, spanning projects and regions while adhering to IAM permissions. Use BigQuery governance, powered by Dataplex, to enrich AI artifacts with critical business metadata for informed decision-making, such as ownership, key attributes, and relevant context.

Simplified data discovery with BigQuery Universal Catalog

Automate data discovery, classification, and metadata enrichment of multimodal data stored in Google Cloud with the BigQuery universal catalog, a unified, AI-powered data catalog that brings together business, technical, and runtime metadata. Easily search, find, and understand your data with a built-in universal semantic search. Enrich metadata with relevant business context using the built-in business glossary. 

End-to-end data lineage

Automatically process lineage for Google Cloud data sources and and extend lineage to third-party data sources. Easily understand where your data comes from and the transformations it goes through with end-to-end data lineage

Automated data quality

Use automatically captured data lineage and built-in data profiling to better understand your data, trace dependencies, and effectively troubleshoot data issues. Automate data quality across distributed data and enable access to data you can trust.


How It Works

Manage, monitor, and govern data and AI artifacts across data lakes, warehouses, and databases. Help users intelligently establish data profiles, assess data quality, determine data lineage, classify data, organize data into domains, and manage and govern the data life cycle.

Build a data mesh

Use governance capabilities to build a data mesh

A data mesh is a strategy where data ownership is decentralized and handled by domain data owners, where distributed datasets across locations can improve data accessibility and operational efficiency. BigQuery governance powered by Dataplex helps logically organize your data and related artifacts into a data domain so you can unify distributed data and organize it based on the business context.
