XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a structured, text-based format used to store and transport data in a way that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It uses custom tags to define elements and their relationships, making it widely used for data exchange between systems.

Dawiso allows you to retrieve metadata not only through direct integrations with connected systems, but also from structured files like CSV and JSON. 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 .xml format and follow the naming convention: {packageKey}_{queryKey}.xml.
  3. DIR must have access to the files on your local file system or network.
