Manage your Data Inventory Effectively
With the data explosion taking place, Data Catalogs is becoming a core
component of modern data management. Data catalog treats data as
inventory and has a collection of metadata, data management and search
tools, that helps the data users to find the data that they need. It also
provides information to evaluate fitness data for intended uses. It focuses
on datasets (the inventory of available data) and connects those datasets
with rich information to inform people who work with data.
In the age of self-service analytics, it is often a challenge for the IT
organizations to provide all of the data needed by the ever-increasing
numbers of people who analyze data. In such a scenario, where there is a
huge volume of datasets coming from multiple data sources, a data
catalog helps the data users to search and find data quickly. They can see
all of the available datasets, evaluate and make informed choices for which
data to use, and perform data preparation and analysis efficiently and with
confidence.
