The Governance Action Framework (GAF) is responsible for managing automated governance actions and related activity.  It provides frameworks and functions to enable enforcement engines, workflows, billing and monitoring tools to use metadata to control the data landscape through metadata.  Examples of the capabilities of the GAF include:

• Audit logs
• Exception management
• Functions to support access control

Most governance actions execute in external engines that are working with data and related assets.  The GAF offer embeddable functions and APIs to simplify the implementation of these functions and support metadata-driven operation, whilst being resilient and performant. 

Governance actions themselves produce audit log records and exceptions.  The Governance Action Framework supports the development of stewardship services to analyze audit log records and processes exceptions.  These stewardship services are built using the Open Metadata and Governance Stewardship Toolkit and they run in the Open Metadata and Governance Stewardship Server.
