Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > Dataplex Asset

A Dataplex Asset in Google Cloud is a data resource, such as a Cloud Storage bucket or BigQuery dataset, that is registered within a Dataplex lake. It represents the physical storage location of data and is managed through Dataplex to provide governance, security, and metadata management. Assets allow organizations to organize and control access to data across different storage systems while maintaining consistent policies and visibility.
