Frequently Asked Questions
What is an enterprise data catalog?
A data catalog is an organised inventory of an organisation's data assets, with metadata, business context, lineage and search, so people and systems can find, understand and trust data.
How do data catalogs support DataOps?
They supply the metadata, lineage and ownership information that pipelines, quality checks and governance workflows depend on, and increasingly feed that context to AI applications.
What is active metadata?
Active metadata is metadata that is continuously collected and used to drive actions, such as alerts, access policies and recommendations, rather than sitting passively in a document.
Which products were renamed?
Google Data Catalog is now part of Knowledge Catalog (formerly Dataplex), Azure Purview is Microsoft Purview, IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is part of IBM watsonx.data intelligence, and Talend Data Catalog is offered by Qlik.
