Kinaesis Clarity™ Metadata Visualisation BCBS 239 Case Study
Kinaesis.com
BCBS 239 mandates that a robust and effective enterprise wide risk management methodology is applied across global financial organisations. It requires institutions to improve their risk data quality and to understand the origin of their data.
Kinaesis observations
Regulations such as BCBS 239 are among many factors that are driving banks to create more and more metadata in the search for better lineage and quality metrics. The challenge is that metadata is “network-like”, temporal and has a number of differing perspectives. Therefore metadata is extremely difficult to present visually and consequently harder to use as a decision making tool. Attempts to visualise and exploit metadata can all too easily lead to lineage “hair balls” and a lack of accuracy and completeness.

Kinaesis Clarity™ Solution Kinaesis Clarity is a product that lets you see business meaningful, understandable and useful perspectives on data origins and quality.
Kinaesis Clarity complements existing metadata and MDM assets to provide a consistent, exploitable view of your data across the organisation. Figure 2: Kinaesis Clarity™: BCBS 239 Examples
Kinaesis Clarity™ Approach • Integration – Kinaesis consultants will map
metadata to a format in which it can be easily visualised, while remaining in sync with your metadata mastering systems.
• Visualisation – Kinaesis are used to looking at metadata and we realise that it can easily become a meaningless hairball of links and annotations. We can propose practical, useful visualisation concepts to deliver a clearer lineage picture. Leverage our domain experience to configure visualisation outputs.
• Bottom up analysis – Kinaesis have deep experience of risk from both a business and IT point of view. We can work with stakeholders, system owners and if necessary code to discover the “bottom up” details required in order to get value from your data architectures and practices.
