Generating Metadata for Agents

In Denzing, once an agent is created, the metadata generation process begins automatically. This process involves compiling and structuring essential information about the agent—such as its configuration, data sources, and behavioral context—so that it can operate effectively and respond accurately during user interactions.

In Denzing, metadata generation begins automatically once an agent is created. Metadata consists of two key components: Schema and Semantics. The process starts with schema generation, which defines the structure of the data—such as columns and data types in a CSV file or database table. After the schema is generated, it must be reviewed and saved to confirm its accuracy. Only then is the Semantics phase enabled, which involves understanding the meaning and relationships within the data. Since semantics rely on the schema, they cannot be generated until the schema is properly defined and saved.

Once the schema is finalized and verified, click the Save button to store the specific schema file. This step confirms the structure of the data—whether it's from a CSV file or a database table—and prepares it for semantic processing. After the schema is successfully saved, click on the Next button to initiate the generation of Semantics. Since semantics rely on the schema to understand the data's meaning and relationships, they cannot be generated until the schema is properly defined and saved.

Since Semantics in Denzing is generated using AI based on the structure of the data source—such as CSV files or database tables—it may include assumptions that don't fully align with the organization’s business definitions or processes. Therefore, it is essential for users to carefully validate the schema before saving it. This ensures that the schema accurately reflects the intended data structure and supports the agent’s functionality in line with business requirements. Only after the schema is reviewed and confirmed should users proceed to save it and move on to semantic generation.

After the schema and semantics have been successfully generated and validated, the final step is to publish the metadata. To do this, click the Publish button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This action confirms the attachment of the metadata to the agent, making it fully operational and ready for interaction within the Denzing platform.
