Semantic Data Catalog

“Existing metadata management tools are increasingly incapable of fulfilling comprehensive metadata needs in the enterprise.”

Traditional data catalogs were intended to consolidate metadata, but often organizations have many of them, creating metadata silos. And while these catalogs improve data’s findability, they do very little else.
A semantic data catalog, by contrast, uses knowledge graphs to unite data with a catalog of catalogs – across any application, domain, business unit or geography. Because the knowledge graph is rich with meaning, the metadata is more easily searchable. The metadata is also inherently interoperable, it can be reused dynamically by any application or AI, and to automate business processes.

With TopBraid EDG, you can create a semantic data catalog or add semantic superpowers to existing catalog(s):

Harmonize metadata across an entire organization with a “glossary of glossaries.”

Build the metadata with rich meaning and interoperability, creating new dynamic applications, such as automated policy enforcement, AI and LLMs and more.

Unite metadata with a “catalog of catalogs,” across any domain, application or geography.
