SAS Information Catalog (Quality Knowledge Base)

ID sasinformationcatalog

catalogs

SAS Information Catalog, part of SAS Viya, assigns semantic types to columns of the tables and files it discovers, using the SAS Quality Knowledge Base (QKB). The QKB Field Content identification analysis looks at the values of a column and returns an identity: global identities such as email, URL, IBAN, payment card number, network address and geographical point, language identities for person names and organizations, and locale identities such as phone, postal code, address, city and the government identifiers of each locale. Column name analysis is a lighter alternative. The supported types list the identities that the QKB documentation describes for all locales, plus the government identifiers, bank account, organization and vehicle registration identities that the Field Content pages of QKB 33 list for the Danish, German, Canadian English, British, US, Belgian Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish locales.
