CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple text format used to store tabular data. Each line represents a row, and each value is typically separated by a comma or semicolon (only semicolons are accepted in Dawiso). CSV files are widely supported and often used for data exchange, especially when direct system integration is not available.

Dawiso allows you to retrieve metadata not only through direct integrations with connected systems, but also from structured files like JSON and XML. This ensures you can document and manage key metadata even from sources that don’t support direct integration, making your governance coverage more complete and flexible.

Tip

This provider is only compatible with private connections that use Dawiso Integration Runtime (DIR) for data ingestion. Make sure DIR has access to the files on your network or local file system.

Prepare for ingestion

Before ingesting your data into Dawiso, ensure the following requirements are met:

  1. Dawiso Integration Runtime (DIR) is installed and running.
  2. The file must be in .csv format and follow the naming convention: {packageKey}_{queryKey}.csv.
  3. DIR must have access to the files on your local file system or network.

Dawiso uses the semicolon (;) as the default delimiter for CSV files.
