Which statement best describes the purpose of Data Connection in Ontology management?

• A. Connecting and managing data sources that feed into the Ontology structure.
• B. Storing object metadata.
• C. Enforcing data retention policies.
• D. Performing data masking.

Answer: (A)

Data Connection is about linking the actual data sources to the Ontology and managing how they feed into its structure. It serves as the bridge between the ontology’s vocabulary and the real data, handling where data lives, how to access it, and how it maps to ontology terms. This enables ingestion, provenance, and governance so you can trace ontology concepts back to their sources and schemas, keeping the ontology accurate and current. The other tasks—storing object metadata, enforcing retention policies, or masking data—are separate concerns handled by other features or tools, not by establishing the data sources that feed the ontology.
