Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A method for managing data usage, the method comprising:
monitoring, by data monitoring circuitry, electronic usage of a governed data set in a computing environment, wherein the governed data set comprises a governed business element, and wherein the governed business element comprises a business element and at least one metadata attribute configured to govern electronic usage of the business element;
identifying, by the data monitoring circuitry via a data compliance bot, transmission of an electronic usage request from a user device, wherein the electronic usage request comprises a request for a user of the user device to electronically use the business element in the computing environment, wherein electronic use of the business element includes application of analytics to at least a portion of the business element to generate values in the computing environment;
identifying, by the data monitoring circuitry, a metadata attribute of the at least one metadata attribute based on the business element, wherein the metadata attribute governs usage of the business element to calculate values in different computing environments;
monitoring the governed data set entering or exiting the computing environment for detecting any of a plurality of instances of non-compliant or potential non-compliant use of the governed data set by analysis of use pattern of the business element, wherein an instance of noncompliant or potential non-compliant use of the governed data set comprises generation, by the user, of an average value based on the business element;
disallowing an attempt by the user to generate the average value based on the business element;
generating a new metadata attribute based on the analysis and identification of sensitive data within the business element;
linking the business element and the new metadata attribute together; and
in response to identification of the transmission of the electronic usage request and identification of the at least one metadata attribute including the metadata attribute and the new metadata attribute, determining, by data compliance circuitry in communication with the data monitoring circuitry, whether electronic use of the business element is allowed.
