Asset types

An asset type defines the semantics of an asset, as a kind of template. Via its assignment, it defines which attribute types, relation types and statuses the asset can have. It also determines which articulation rules, data quality rules and validation rules are applied, and the domain types in which it can be created.

Some asset types can only be created in a specific Collibra application and in a specific domain type. For example, you can only create assets of the Validation Rule type in a domain of the Validation Rule Domain type. You can see the required domain type in the assignment of the asset type.
