  • It enables the association between data, actions, and outcomes, leading to more efficient processes.

Technical vs. Business Data Catalogs

  • Business data catalogs focus on providing business context, such as:
    • Business glossaries and taxonomies
    • Metadata forms for documenting data assets
    • Domains for organizing data by business units
