Assets cataloged in K
The following data and content object types are catalogued within K. Various objects within each source integrated with K will be allocated to an object type.
Examples:
A Power BI workspace is cataloged as a Workspace.
A Power BI app is cataloged as a Content App.
A Power BI data flow is cataloged as a Pipeline.
A Redshift External table is cataloged as a Table (Table type is External).
A Snowflake View is cataloged as a Table (Table type is View)
Data assets
Object Type | Description |
|---|---|
Database  | The database used to store and manage structured data assets |
Schema  | A logical grouping within a database that organizes related tables, views, and procedures. |
Table  | A data object within a schema that stores records in rows and columns. |
Column  | A single field or attribute within a table that defines a specific data element. |
Code  | A script or program that performs data processing, transformation, or analysis. |
Procedure | Stored routine that encapsulates a series of SQL statements or operations. |
Macro | Parameterized or reusable block of logic that simplifies repetitive operations. |
Analytical & Reporting Content asset
Object Type | Description |
|---|---|
Tool  | The application or platform used to create, process, or manage analytical & reporting content assets within the data ecosystem |
Workspace  | A logical container that groups related assets such as datasets, reports, and pipelines. |
Report  | A dashboard, report or document that presents data, charts or insights. Typically connected to one or more datasets. |
Sheet  | A page within a report |
Content App  | A logical container that groups assets used for data consumption (e.g. Reports). |
Pipeline  | A data processing flow that moves, transforms, or integrates data between datasets. |
ML Model  | A machine learning artifact that uses input data to make predictions or classifications based on historical patterns. |
Dataset  | A structured collection of data used for reporting, analysis, or modeling. It typically serves as the foundation for reports or ML models. |
Dataset Table  | A table within a dataset that organizes data into rows and columns, often representing a specific entity or subject area. |
Dataset Field  | An individual column or attribute within a dataset table that stores a specific data element (e.g., Customer Name, Order Date). |
File  | An asset stored in a filesystem or object store, often in formats such as CSV, JSON, or Parquet, used as input or output for analysis and processing |
