The Clinia Data Catalog is a module designed to streamline your data management needs within the Clinia platform. This comprehensive tool empowers you to define and integrate various data sources into the system seamlessly. Moreover, it is the central hub for configuring data partitions, unlocking a wealth of possibilities for data access and search functionalities across a single or multiple data sources.

Data Source

Configuring data sources for your environment is how you tell the Data Fabric where your data comes from and what it looks like. You can configure one or many data sources so that data enters the system from multiple different streams.

Each data source is configured independently and contains information about its data schema and connector.

Schema

Defining the shape of the data for data sources is done using JSON Schema.

Connector

A connector synchronizes the data from an external data store inside the data source’s internal data store. There exist two types of connectors, push and pull.

• Pull connectors run on a schedule. They fetch data from an external data store to update the data source internal data store.
• Push connectors are notified of changes from an external data store in real time and propagate the updates to the data source's internal data store.

The only type of connector currently available is a push connector attached to an instance of a Clinia Registry.

Data Partition

A data partition is a view of the data from your workspace.

Data partitions can be attached to a single to a single source or to multiple data sources by connecting to the MDM.

The number of partitions you can configure for your system is completely independent from the number of configured sources. They are built using attribute-based access control, enabling the creation of views specific to every type of consumer of your application.

Data partitions can be configured with either our Standard Search or our Health Grade Search, depending on your use case.
