Tools like Fivetran provide the physical pipelines, and Collibra provides the rulebook. ArcXA provides the "brain" that maps the meaning of the data across those pipelines, ensuring that the contextual relationships inherent in your RDBMS are not lost during transition.
- deep context
- semantic relationships
- traceability
.
ArcXA adds value in several ways: ArcXA leverages a Knowledge Graph Neural Network (KGNN) foundation and modeling relational databases (RDBMS) via a triple store (Subject-Predicate-Object).__________________________________________________________________________
1. Automated Schema Mapping & "Mapping Intelligence"
ArcXA Supplements - RDBMS migrations, mapping foreign keys, tables, and schemas across different database types is a manual, labor-intensive process prone to human error.
The ArcXA Value: By turning the relational database schema into a graph of semantic triples, ArcXA abstracts data out of rigid tables. It treats data elements as entities and relationships. It uses model-assisted semantic matching to automatically infer and suggest mappings between disparate systems, significantly accelerating schema alignment without requiring engineers to manually map thousands of columns.
2. Dynamic, Multi-Dimensional Data Lineage
Traditional ETL tools show lineage as a static flowchart (e.g., Table A moved to Table B via Pipeline C).
ArcXA Value: Because ArcXA stores metadata natively in a graph/triple-store shard (
arcxa-shard), it provides graph-native lineage across rows, columns, and workflows.If a value changes during migration, ArcXA doesn't just show where it moved; it shows exactly why it changed, which business ontology terms were applied, and what policies were active at that exact millisecond.
3. Preservation of Business Logic (Ontology-Awareness)
When moving data through a pipeline like Fivetran, data loses its contextual "meaning" until it is re-cataloged at the destination.
ArcXA Value: ArcXA aligns source-native fields directly with an overarching enterprise ontology (a formal model of your business concepts) using R2RML (Relational-to-RDF Mapping Language).
Instead of migrating raw data, you are migrating governed, semantically enriched datasets. This means the destination data is immediately AI-ready and contextualized.
4. "Systems-of-Systems" Validation & Contracts
Large enterprise environments involve multiple interdependent applications moving data at the same time.
ArcXA Value: ArcXA acts as a semantic control plane over the entire migration landscape. It models external systems, data interfaces, and data contracts.
As your pipelines execute, ArcXA applies policy-driven validation history and analytics to ensure that data flowing out of Informatica or Fivetran complies with governance standards before it lands in a downstream target.
