本文說明如何重複使用 Knowledge Catalog (舊稱 Dataplex Universal Catalog) 資料品質規則,定義及管理標準化業務規則。
規則重複使用功能可讓您使用規則範本,在多個資料品質規則和掃描作業中,共用複雜或標準化的業務規則定義。本文也說明如何設定、建立及管理可重複使用的規則範本,以及如何將資料品質規則附加至目錄項目做為中繼資料層面。
用途
資料品質規則重複使用功能適用於下列情境:
- 標準化及分享規則定義:使用自訂規則範本儲存複雜或標準化的業務規則定義。使用範本化 SQL 運算式,可減少發布常見定義所需的時間和精力。舉例來說,中央資料治理團隊可以定義標準的「有效電子郵件」或「有效社會安全號碼 (SSN)」範本,供整個機構重複使用,確保一致性並減少管理重複規則的作業負擔。
- 導入以治理為導向的品質:在 BigQuery 資料表和組織詞彙詞彙項目上,使用 Knowledge Catalog 構面將資料規則宣告為中繼資料。方便搜尋及重複使用規則。舉例來說,將資料欄連結至術語表詞彙後,系統會自動沿用為該詞彙定義的驗證規則,透過語意中繼資料沿用功能,啟用自動化控管政策。
- 搜尋及探索可重複使用的規則:透過語意搜尋,尋找貴機構現有的規則。資料分析師和工程師可以藉此探索經過驗證的標準化規則集 (例如「基準財務常數」),並為新專案啟動資料品質,不必從頭編寫 SQL。
- 解決冷啟動問題:針對常用的評估項目 (例如空值檢查或範圍期望),運用系統規則範本。您可以使用這些內建範本,快速為常見情境設定資料品質監控,不必編寫自訂 SQL。
- 啟用關注點分離:讓中央控管團隊編寫經過驗證的規則範本,工程團隊則專注於將這些規則套用至資料資產,不必編寫或維護複雜的 SQL。明確劃分職責可提升組織的靈活度,並確保企業內一律採用資料品質標準。
事前準備
-
啟用 Dataplex API。
啟用 API 時所需的角色
如要啟用 API,您需要服務使用情形管理員 IAM 角色 (
roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin),其中包含serviceusage.services.enable權限。瞭解如何授予角色。
使用資料品質規則重複使用功能前,請先確認您已完成下列必要條件。
設定 Dataplex API 環境
如要使用本文中的 REST API 範例,請設定 gcurl 的別名,並設定 ${DATAPLEX_API} 環境變數。
設定
gcurl的別名。這會建立包含驗證權杖的捷徑,並為 API 要求設定 JSON 內容類型:alias gcurl='curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" -H "Content-Type: application/json"'設定
DATAPLEX_API變數:DATAPLEX_API="dataplex.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION"
更改下列內容:
PROJECT_ID:您的專案 ID。LOCATION:掃描或資源所在的位置 (例如us-central1)。
設定服務帳戶
如要使用可重複使用的規則執行資料品質掃描,就必須使用服務帳戶。 建立服務帳戶,並授予下列 Identity and Access Management 角色和權限:
- 您必須具備專案的
iam.serviceAccounts.actAs權限,才能代管服務帳戶 (通常是透過roles/iam.serviceAccountUser角色)。 - 將掃描專案的 Dataplex 服務代理程式 (
service-PROJECT_ID@gcp-sa-dataplex.iam.gserviceaccount.com) 的iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken權限授予服務帳戶 (例如使用roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator角色)。 - 服務帳戶必須具備下列權限:
bigquery.tables.getData(例如使用roles/bigquery.dataViewer)。- 掃描專案中的
bigquery.jobs.insert(例如使用roles/bigquery.jobUser)。 - 匯出資料集上的
roles/bigquery.dataEditor(如要匯出)。
必要角色和權限
請確認您具備下列 IAM 角色,可執行特定工作:
- 資料掃描管理:管理資料掃描資源所需的資料掃描角色。
- 規則範本管理:如要建立或更新規則範本,您必須具備管理規則範本項目群組或專案中項目的必要權限。具體來說,
roles/dataplex.catalogEditor或roles/dataplex.entryOwner會授予這些權限。 - 從規則參照規則範本:您必須對規則參照的規則範本項目群組或專案,擁有
dataplex.entries.get和dataplex.entries.getData權限。 - 將資料品質規則附加至 BigQuery 資料表:如要將資料品質規則附加為 Knowledge Catalog 中繼資料,您必須具備下列其中一項權限:
bigquery.tables.update或roles/bigquery.dataEditor,然後按一下表格中項目群組的dataplex.entryGroups.useDataRulesAspect@bigquery。@bigquery項目群組的roles/dataplex.catalogEditor權限。
- 將資料品質規則附加至組織詞彙字詞:如要將資料品質規則附加為 Knowledge Catalog 中繼資料,您必須具備下列其中一項:
dataplex.glossaryTerms.update,以及dataplex.entryGroups.useDataRulesAspect對@dataplex項目群組的存取權。@dataplex項目群組的roles/dataplex.catalogEditor權限。
- 使用項目規則建立資料品質掃描作業:您必須具備下列其中一項權限:
- 桌上擺放
bigquery.tables.get和bigquery.tables.getData。 dataplex.entries.get和dataplex.entries.getData位於表格位置的項目群組中。@bigquery
- 桌上擺放
規則範本的 SQL 查詢語法
為規則範本編寫 SQL 邏輯時,您必須提供會傳回無效資料列的陳述式。如果查詢傳回任何資料列,規則就會失敗。詳情請參閱「SqlAssertion」。
撰寫規則範本 SQL 時,請遵守下列原則:
- 省略 SQL 陳述式結尾的分號。
- 使用
${param(name)}參照輸入參數,例如${param(min_value)}。 - 使用
$${...}to escape a literal${...}and prevent it from being replaced as a parameter. - Parameter variables are case-sensitive.
System-supported parameters
You can use the following system-supported parameters in your rule template SQL:
${project()}: The project ID of the resource being scanned.${dataset()}: The BigQuery dataset ID of the resource being scanned, formatted asPROJECT_ID.DATASET_ID.${table()}: The BigQuery table ID of the resource being scanned, formatted asPROJECT_ID.DATASET_ID.TABLE_ID.${column()}: The column the rule is evaluated on. An error occurs during rule evaluation if the rule is attached to the table level but references${column()}.${data()}: A reference to the data source table and all of its precondition filters like row filters, sampling percentages, and incremental filters defined in the scan specification. For more information, see Data reference parameter.
Example 1: Validate column values are between two values
The following example validates that all values in a column are between a minimum and maximum value:
SELECT *
FROM ${data()}
WHERE
NOT ((${column()}>=${param(min_value)} AND ${column()}<=${param(max_value)}) IS TRUE)
Note the following:
- Using
NOT(condition) IS TRUEreturns invalid rows, including rows withNULLvalues in the column. - Using
${data()}limits the scope of rows evaluated to the source table and its filters, such as row filters, sampling percentages, and incremental filters. - Using
${column()}lets you reference the column that the rule using this template is evaluated on.
Example 2: Foreign key validation
The following example verifies that each value in a column exists in a primary key column of another table:
SELECT t.*
FROM ${data()} AS t
LEFT JOIN `${param(reference_table)}` AS s
ON t.${column()} = s.`${param(reference_column)}`
WHERE s.`${param(reference_column)}` IS NULL
Input parameters for this template are as follows:
reference_table: The name of the reference table containing the primary keys. Use the formatPROJECT_ID.DATASET_ID.TABLE_ID.reference_column: The name of the primary key column in the reference table.
System rule templates
Knowledge Catalog provides system rule templates that can be used in any
region. Knowledge Catalog manages these templates in the
dataplex-templates project under the rule-library entry group. An example of
a full resource name is
projects/dataplex-templates/locations/global/entryGroups/rule-library/entries/non_null_expectation.
To view the list of all the available system rule templates, see System rule templates list.
To find the available list of system rule templates, select one of the following options:
Console
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Data profiling & quality page.
Click Rule libraries > System.
To see the list of available system rule templates, click rule-library.
When creating a new rule, you can select the system rule templates in the Choose rule types menu.
REST
To find the available list of system rule templates, use the
entries.list method:
gcurl "https://dataplex.googleapis.com/v1/projects/dataplex-templates/locations/global/entryGroups/rule-library/entries"
Known differences between system rule templates and built-in rules
The following table describes the differences between system rule templates and built-in rules:
| Feature | System rule templates | Built-in rules |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Reusable templates in the catalog | Built-in in the API |
| Referencing | Can be referenced by catalog entries and scans | Can only be used in scans |
The following list describes additional differences in how metrics are calculated for system rule templates:
- Assertion Row Count metric: This metric is populated for all template reference rules, not just SQL assertion rules.
- Statistic Range Expectation rule template: Rule metrics from evaluation
of rules referencing this template wouldn't contain the
nullCountmetric. Because it is an aggregate rule, theignore nullcapability isn't supported, and rule success is determined by the aggregate statistic being within the defined range. Uniqueness Expectation rule template: This template calculates
passedCountdifferently than the built-inUniquenessExpectationrule. The rule template returns all rows for which duplicate values or null rows exist, which can result in fewer passing rows if duplicates are present.For example, if a column contains the values
(a, a, b, b, c, d, e):- Built-in uniqueness rule: Returns 5 passing rows:
(a, b, c, d, e). - Uniqueness rule template: Returns 4 failing rows:
(a, a, b, b). The number of passing rows is 3 (7 total rows minus 4 failed rows):(c, d, e).
- Built-in uniqueness rule: Returns 5 passing rows:

REST
To attach rules to a term using the API, patch the
@dataplexentry for the glossary term: gcurl -X PATCH "https://${DATAPLEX_API}/entryGroups/@dataplex/entries/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/glossaries/GLOSSARY_ID/terms/TERM_ID?updateMask=aspects&aspect_keys=projects/dataplex-types/locations/global/aspectTypes/data-rules" \ --data @- << EOF { "aspects": { "dataplex-types.global.data-rules": { "aspectType": "projects/dataplex-types/locations/global/aspectTypes/data-rules", "data": { "rules": [ { "templateReference": "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/entryGroups/ENTRY_GROUP_ID/entries/TEMPLATE_ID", "column": "COLUMN_NAME", "values": { "PARAMETER_NAME": { "value" : "PARAMETER_VALUE" } } } ] } } } } EOFReplace the following:
PROJECT_ID: your project ID.LOCATION: the location for your rule template and aspect.GLOSSARY_ID: the ID of the business glossary.TERM_ID: the ID of the glossary term.ENTRY_GROUP_ID: the ID of the entry group that stores your rule template.TEMPLATE_ID: the ID of the rule template.COLUMN_NAME: the column to apply the rule to.PARAMETER_NAME: the name of an input parameter for the rule template.PARAMETER_VALUE: the value for the input parameter.Terraform
To attach rules to a business glossary term, use the
google_dataplex_entryresource: resource "google_dataplex_entry" "glossary_term_rules" { project = "PROJECT_ID" location = "LOCATION" entry_id = "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/glossaries/GLOSSARY_ID/terms/TERM_ID" entry_group_id = "@dataplex" aspects { aspect_key = "dataplex-types.global.data-rules" aspect { data = jsonencode({ rules = [ { name = "RULE_NAME" dimension = "VALIDITY" templateReference = "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/entryGroups/ENTRY_GROUP_ID/entries/TEMPLATE_ID" values = { "PARAMETER_NAME" = { value = "PARAMETER_VALUE" } } } ] }) } } }Replace the following:
PROJECT_ID: your project ID.LOCATION: the location for your rule template and aspect.GLOSSARY_ID: the ID of the business glossary.TERM_ID: the ID of the glossary term.ENTRY_GROUP_ID: the ID of the entry group that stores your rule template.TEMPLATE_ID: the ID of the rule template.PARAMETER_NAME: the name of an input parameter for the rule template.PARAMETER_VALUE: the value for the input parameter.RULE_NAME: a unique name for the rule.Import rules from another table
You can import data quality rules from an existing BigQuery table entry to your current table.
Console
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Knowledge Catalog Search page.
Select the table you want to manage rules for.
Click Data quality > Rules management.
Click Create rules.
In the Create rules window, do the following:
- In the Choose create option menu, select Import rules from another table.
- In Table, click Browse. Search for and select the source table containing the rules that you want to copy.
- Select the rules. You can also edit the rules.
Click Save.
The Rules management tab displays the new rules.
REST
To import rules, you must fetch the
data-rulesaspect from the source entry and apply it to the target entry.
Get the
data-rulesaspect from the source entry: gcurl "https://dataplex.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/entryGroups/ENTRY_GROUP_ID/entries/SOURCE_ENTRY_ID?view=FULL"Extract the
ruleslist from thedataplex-types.global.data-rulesaspect.Attach the rules to a target entry.
Replace the following:
PROJECT_ID: your project ID.LOCATION: the location of the source entry.ENTRY_GROUP_ID: the ID of the entry group for the source entry.SOURCE_ENTRY_ID: the ID of the source entry.View data quality rules for BigQuery table
You can view all rules applicable to a table, including rules attached directly and rules inherited from linked glossary terms.
Console
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Knowledge Catalog Search page.
Search for and select the table.
Click Data quality > Rules management to view all rules.
Create a data quality scan using rules from catalog
You can selectively run rules declared on catalog entries in a scan.
Console
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Data profiling & quality page.
Follow the steps to create a data quality scan, but update the following:
- In the Define scan window, do the following:
- In the Credential type menu, select Service account, and then enter a service account. A service account is mandatory for using rule templates.
- For Rule type, select Create with entry based rule.
- In the Data quality rules section, rules applicable to the table entry are displayed, including rules inherited from linked glossary terms. To filter the rules, do the following:
- In the Filter items field, filter items to selectively run rules.
- Click Apply. Filtered rules are displayed.
- Proceed with the remaining scan configuration.
- Click Create to only create the scan, or click Run scan to create and immediately run the scan.
Subsequent runs evaluate rules attached to the entry or inherited from glossary terms as observed at the time of execution.
REST
To run rules from catalog entries, set
enableCatalogBasedRulestotrue. You can also specify a filter.To create the scan, use the following code:
gcurl -X POST "https://${DATAPLEX_API}/dataScans?data_scan_id=DATASCAN_ID" \ --data @- << EOF { "type": "DATA_QUALITY", "data": { "resource": "//bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/datasets/DATASET_ID/tables/TABLE_ID" }, "executionIdentity": { "serviceAccount": { "email": "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL" } }, "executionSpec": { "trigger": { "onDemand": {} } }, "dataQualitySpec": { "enableCatalogBasedRules": true, "filter": "FILTER_CONDITION" } } EOFReplace the following:
PROJECT_ID: your project ID.LOCATION: the location for your data scan.DATASCAN_ID: the ID of the data quality scan.DATASET_ID: the BigQuery dataset ID.TABLE_ID: the BigQuery table ID.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL: the email ID of the service account to run the scan.FILTER_CONDITION: an AIP-160 filter string to selectively run rules (for example,attributes.environment = \"prod\").Terraform
To run rules from catalog entries, use the
google_dataplex_datascanresource: resource "google_dataplex_datascan" "scan" { data_scan_id = "DATASCAN_ID" location = "LOCATION" project = "PROJECT_ID" data { resource = "//bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/datasets/DATASET_ID/tables/TABLE_ID" } execution_spec { service_account = "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL" trigger { on_demand {} } } data_quality_spec { enable_catalog_based_rules = true filter = "FILTER_CONDITION" } }Replace the following:

Using Knowledge Catalog rule reusability involves the following pricing elements:
- BigQuery charges: BigQuery charges for the job that runs in the scan project. For more information, see BigQuery pricing.
- Knowledge Catalog data quality scan: There's no charge for processing since BigQuery charges for the job.
- Metadata storage:
data-rulesaspect anddata-quality-rule-templateaspect storage is charged as metadata storage. For more information, see Knowledge Catalog pricing.What's next
