OVERVIEW

Optimize how you catalog and use data

  • Spend less time looking for data and more time analyzing it. Data Catalog is a cloud-based enterprise metadata catalog that makes data asset discovery straightforward. It’s a fully managed service that lets analysts, data scientists, and data developers register, enrich, discover, understand, and consume data sources.

  • Find the data you need and use it in the tools you choose. Your data stays where you want it, and Data Catalog helps you discover and work with it where you want, with an intuitive user experience.

  • Increase broad adoption and continuous value creation across your data ecosystem. Data Catalog helps you get tips, tricks, and unwritten rules into an experience where everyone can contribute and derive value. When you discover a data source, you can understand its usage and intent, provide your informed insights into the catalog, and enable a virtuous cycle of use.
