Systems and methods for creating and managing a data integration workspace

Systems and methods are provided for creating and managing a data integration workspace. The workspace may comprise one or more views of data (or datasets) stored in or accessible by the system. Models may be generated and updated based on the plurality of datasets and presented via a graphical user interface. Feedback received via a graphical user interface presenting a model may be used to annotate an underlying dataset associated with the model. Responsive to a modification of the underlying dataset or the rules for using the underlying dataset to generate the model, other related datasets and/or models may be automatically updated accordingly. Templates associated with one or more types of users may be defined. Each template may comprise one or more specific models related to a specific type of user.
