Data and Information Inventory and Attributes

Integrations carry Data and Information types as their Payload. The Integrations Inventory and Attributes is published and available. The Integration Payload attribute on every integration record names the data or information type being transmitted — when the Data and Information Inventory is mature, those names are matched to Semantic IDs, and the Related Integrations relationship attribute in this inventory is derived automatically.

The relationship is bidirectional and mutually enriching: the Integrations Inventory is the primary discovery source for Data and Information types that are already in motion through the enterprise but not yet formally governed. Every distinct Payload value in the Integrations Inventory is a candidate Noun Instance for this inventory. Conversely, when a data type’s Sensitivity Classification is updated in this inventory, the Related Integrations attribute immediately surfaces every integration that carries that type and therefore inherits the updated sensitivity governance requirements.

This relationship also produces the enterprise’s data flow lineage at the type level: for any Data and Information type, the complete set of integrations that carry it is queryable from this inventory. This lineage is essential for cross-border compliance analysis, breach impact assessment, and data quality propagation tracing.
