Data class groups for policies
This information describes the legacy behavior for governance artifacts. See Moving to the new version of governance artifacts.
Data class groups are provided by IBM to categorize the data classes so that you can select a group instead of having to select individual data classes from a long list.
Some Watson Knowledge Catalog plans have limits on the number of classifiers that you can create.
Data class groups are predefined by IBM and listed in the rule builder:
- You can choose a data class group from the list shown when defining rules.
- If the first term is the system term Data Class, you can choose the second term from this data class group list.
- You can view the inferred data classes when you profile data assets on the Profile page of an asset in the catalog.
The data classes have been categorized into the following groups:
- Connectivity Data
