It basically consists of an intelligent automation layer that looks at all data, performs quality checks, enriches data about this data (which we call <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/simplified\/metadata\">metadata<\/a><\/u>) and links it together. <\/p>\n<p>This linking of all data is done in a so-called &#8216;knowledge graph&#8217; where all mutual relationships are recorded in a powerful way and new insights &#038; data are created. This is also called <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/simplified\/active-metadata\">activation of metadata <\/a><\/u>called metadata activation. This makes it possible to quickly identify deviations in data quality. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/simplified\/data-kwaliteit\">data quality <\/a><\/u>detection.  <\/p>\n<p>Then everything comes together in an AI-powered model that further drives the data management process and makes suggestions to e.g. increase data quality or to classify certain data as (privacy) sensitive. The latter they call a &#8220;recommendation engine. Your employees are thus supported in their <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beeminds.nl\/en\/data-management\">data management activities<\/a><\/u>.  <\/p>\n<p>The goal of a data fabric is to create a highly automated &#038; flexible data environment within which data analysts and data scientists have easy access to the right data they need to gain insights and make informed decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>Data Fabric is the #1 Data &#038; Analytics trend of 2022 according to Gartner<\/h3>\n<p>Data Fabric is an emerging term recently ranked by Gartner as the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/steveandriole\/2021\/11\/01\/gartners-2022-top-strategic-technology-trends--old-problems-old-trends--new-names\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#1 data &#038; analytics trend <\/a><\/u> trend.
