receiving, with an associations rules engine and from a computing system, a request regarding information associated with a first data object;
retrieving, with the associations rules engine and from a data fabric, the first data object and a first relationship rule corresponding to the first data object, the data fabric containing a plurality of first data objects and a plurality of first relationship rules, each first relationship rule indicating a one-to-one relationship between a corresponding first data object and a corresponding second data object;
querying, with the associations rules engine, one or more data aggregation data services to determine whether the first data object is associated with one or more third data objects;
abstracting, with the associations rules engine, the first data object, the first relationship rule, and the one or more third data objects;
updating, with the associations rules engine, a catalog entry corresponding to the first data object with one or more associations among the first data object and each of the identified one or more third data objects; and
providing the computing system with access to the catalog entry corresponding to the first data object.
