Systems and methods for managing data assets in an enterprise computing environment are provided. Data assets associated with a plurality of source systems operating within the enterprise computing environment may be registered with an asset repository hub. The asset repository hub receives a registration request from a source system for a particular data asset and determines whether the data asset is unique within the enterprise computing environment. If the data asset is unique, then the data asset is stored at the asset repository hub and a unique enterprise identifier is associated with the data asset. In determining whether the asset is unique, the asset repository hub may cleanse the data asset against a set of business rules; generate a plurality of match codes that describe the content of the data asset; and cluster the generated match codes against clusters of previously generated match codes. Also provided herein is a mechanism for searching and locating data assets stored within the enterprise computing environment by submitting queries to the asset repository hub.

A computer-implemented system and method for customizing rules used in data integrity validation operations. A data integrity validation application uses the data integrity validation rules to perform the data integrity validation operations. The data integrity validation rules are stored in a knowledge base which is separate from and external to the data integrity validation application. The separately stored and externally located knowledge base allows customization of the data integrity validation rules without requiring recompilation of the data integrity validation application.

In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for identifying potential duplicate entries in a database. Matchcodes are generated for a plurality of records, wherein a matchcode for a record may be generated by: receiving a character string from the record; determining whether the character string includes a non-essential character substring; if the non-essential character substring is missing from the character string, then generating the matchcode from the character string and adding a wildcard character to the matchcode in place of the missing non-essential character substring. The matchcodes for the plurality of records may be compared to identify matching pairs of matchcodes, wherein for the purpose of identifying a matching pair of matchcodes, two characters are considered the same if they are equal or if one or both are wildcard characters.
