Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor coupled to at least one memory, the at least one processor, when executing program code, is configured to:
analyze one or more data sources, wherein each of the one or more data sources comprise a set of metadata and usage information associated with the set of metadata;
determine at least one of data definitions and data classifications for the one or more sets of metadata across the one or more data sources; and
store the at least one of data definitions and data classifications for the one or more sets of metadata in a repository;
wherein determining the data definitions for the one or more sets of metadata across the one or more data sources is based in part on a number of matching characters in a first string associated with at least a portion of the set of metadata and a second string associated with a standardized set of metadata;
wherein determining the data classifications for the one or more sets of metadata across the one or more data sources is based in part on the use of one or more machine learning algorithms; and
wherein the one or more machine learning algorithms comprise one or more decision tree-based algorithms.
