Getting started with Palantir "Gotham" Integration & Governance

Palantir "Gotham" Integration & Governance is a Moraph-managed service that builds and runs the data pipelines feeding your Palantir Gotham deployment. Each source is mapped, checked for completeness and consistency, traced from origin to ingestion, and checked for classification and handling markings before it is loaded. Records that fail a check are held for your data stewards and trained classifiers to decide on, so analysts work from data whose origin and markings can be shown.

What it is for

Analysis is only as good as the data behind it. When feeds are loaded into an analytic platform without consistent checks, duplicates, missing fields, mismatched identifiers and stale records flow straight into the picture analysts rely on. Classification and handling markings may be missing or inconsistent between sources, which risks both over-restriction and spillage. And when a finding is questioned, it can be hard to show where each piece of data came from and what was done to it on the way in.

• Feeds arrive with duplicates, gaps and mismatched identifiers
• Markings are missing or inconsistent between sources
• The path from a source record to what an analyst sees is not documented
• Pipelines built one at a time are hard to maintain and audit

• Data owners and stewards responsible for the sources that feed it
