Ingest metadata of data sources and integrations
Ingest your data models, data schemas, integration schemas, and any applicable industry standards. Cataloging them is the first step in being able to integrate them into your data architecture, for access across multiple technologies and platforms, regardless of your approach to technology architecture.
Build your semantic model
Select relevant data from the Data Catalog library as building blocks for the Enterprise Semantic Model to establish a common understanding of data by defining consistent and clear definitions for all stakeholders to understand and utilize. This is where you start to harmonize data across your data architecture.
Use metadata to design and transform
Create metadata tags and classifications to reflect rules outlined in policies and in regulatory requirements by identifying key components such as compliance needs, data sensitivity, access control and others to guide data handling. Establish metadata values such as internal, public, or confidential for data classification.
Integrate with and generate consuming systems
Build Automation is most effective when the design artifacts are connected to the generated code creating a clear line of sight from the source of the data, through the movement, transformation, storage and finally the usage of data.
