A Pragmatic Approach to Building Collaborative, Open Governance for Your Data and AI Ecosystem

Face To Face

with Dan Wolfson, ACM DE , Mandy Chessell CBE FREng

AI/ML Linux

Your world is filled with an ever-changing landscape of tools that create and use metadata. Each tool is useful, but independent, unable to share and link what it knows to information from other tools. The result is a disconnected story throughout your data and AI operations, making it hard to know where data came from, how it can and should be processed; leading to uncertainty in the trustworthiness of your AI results.

Using open source software from the Linux Foundation, (including Egeria, Open Lineage, Unity Catalog) we will share a simple approach to incrementally link and govern these tools to create end-to-end lineage, provenance and information sharing along your tool chains.
