Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for performing semantic matching in a data fabric. Knowledge graphs are populated with metadata enriched with master data. Based on such knowledge graphs with the metadata enriched with the master data, a trained multi-layer graph neural network generates embeddings. Furthermore, behavioral metadata from data stewards are monitored and collected. Such behavioral metadata may be used to enrich metadata, which are populated in knowledge graphs which are inputted into the multi-layer graph neural network to generate embeddings. Upon generating the embeddings discussed above, semantic matching of the data assets in the data fabric using the embeddings is performed. In this manner, semantic matching of the data assets in the data fabric is more effectively performed by utilizing master data and behavioral metadata.
