Definitions

• Some embodiments are directed to a data processing system, comprising: at least one computer hardware processor; at least one data store storing: a plurality of data objects and values of their attributes, the plurality of data objects including a first data object, the first data object having a plurality of attributes including a first attribute that can have any one of a plurality of values; and metadata specifying relationships among at least some of the plurality of data objects; and a workflow management system comprising: a workflow execution engine for managing execution of finite state machines (FSMs) including a first FSM associated with the first data object and for managing a first workflow for the first data object, wherein the workflow management system is configured to perform, using the at least one computer hardware processor, a method comprising: when a current workflow state of the first FSM is a first workflow state: determining a current value of the first attribute of the first data object by accessing the current value of the first attribute in the at least one data store; identifying, using the current value of the first attribute and the metadata specifying relationships among at least
• embodiments may not address any of them.
• embodiments of the technology described herein are not limited to addressing all or any of the above-discussed issues of conventional techniques for implementing workflows for data objects managed by a data processing system.
• the integration of the WMS 130 into data processing system 120 is what enables the WMS 130 to access up-to-date values of these data and use these values to authorize actors to perform various workflow tasks on a per data object level. Aspects of this example are described further herein including with reference to FIGs. 1D-1G.
• data layer 140 stores data objects 142.
• the data layer may store any data of data objects 142 including, but not limited to, values of attributes of data objects 142.
• the data layer 140 may comprise one or multiple data stores to store the data objects 142.
• Each data store may include one or multiple storage devices storing data in one or more formats of any suitable type.
• the storage device(s) part of a data store may store data using one or more database tables, spreadsheet files, flat text files, and/or files in any other suitable format (e.g., a native format of a mainframe).
• the data object 153 is associated with actor 158 (David) who is authorized to review (and approve or reject) any changes made to the data object 153. As shown in FIG. IF, the data object 152 is not yet associated with any actors authorized to edit the object (“authorized editor”) or review any such edits (“authorized reviewer”).
• the FSM specification may be in any suitable format (e.g., a table, a configuration file, a text file, a structured data file, an XML file, etc.), as aspects of the technology described herein are not limited in this respect.
• the current workflow state when the current workflow state is in the submitted state 660, the current workflow state transitions back to the review needed state 658, if the import is rejected (e.g., by one or more authorized reviewers). On the other hand, when the import is approved, the current workflow state transitions to the approved state 662, and the workflow completes.
• the data processing system may identify one or more actors authorized to perform a workflow task for a data object having one or more classification attributes based on the value(s) of the classification attribute(s). For example, the system may identify one or more actors to perform a workflow task for a data object using a value of the governance group classification attribute of the data object, a value of the sensitivity classification attribute of the data object, a value of the personally identifiable information (PII) classification attribute of the data object and/or the value of any other suitable classification attribute(s) of the data object, examples of which are provided herein.
• PII personally identifiable information
• processors may be implemented as integrated circuits, with one or more processors in an integrated circuit component, including commercially available integrated circuit components known in the art by names such as CPU chips, GPU chips, microprocessor, microcontroller, or co-processor.
• processors may be implemented in custom circuitry, such as an ASIC, or semicustom circuitry resulting from configuring a programmable logic device.
