Interfaces for accessing and managing enhanced connection data for shared resources

摘要

Embodiments are directed to providing access to supplemental query data that is relevant to a data query. In one scenario, a computer system receives an input indicating that a data query is to be processed, where the input provides various search criteria. The computer system then generates the data query according to the search criteria in the received input. The computer system further sends the data query to a second computer system which is configured to process the data query and receives the results of the data query. The results indicate that additional data elements relevant to the search criteria have been identified. The computer system then displays an indication of various steps that are to be taken in order to access the identified additional data elements.

1. A computer system comprising the following:
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the computer system to provide access to supplemental query data that is relevant to a data query, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to perform at least the following:
generate a data query according to one or more search criteria received in a first input, the data query being associated with a user;send the data query to a second computer system, which is configured to process the data query;receive results of the data query from the second computer system, the results indicating:
one or more data elements that are stored at a first data source to which the user has access, and that are relevant to the one or more search criteria;an identity of a second data source to which the user currently lacks access that stores one or more additional data elements that are also relevant to the one or more search criteria; andone or more supplemental data elements for exposing other relevant data items or search queries, the one or more supplemental data elements including supplemental information relating to at least one of the one or more data elements that are stored at the first data source and the one or more additional data elements that are also relevant to the one or more search criteria, the supplemental information comprising at least one of lineage information, container information, or user-provided annotations, wherein the one or more supplemental data elements are provided by a metadata catalog; anddisplay at a user interface (i) a first indication of the one or more data elements that are accessible to the user, (ii) a second indication of the identity of the second data source to which the user currently lacks access, the second indication being associated with one or more steps that are to be taken in order for the user to authenticate to the second data source, wherein the one or more steps to be taken are displayed at the user interface along with the second indication of the identity of the second data source, and (iii) a third indication of the one or more supplemental data elements for exposing other relevant data items or search queries.
