TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance
The first data governance solution to use true knowledge graph technology based on W3C standard RDF graphs
An Agile, Connected, Knowledge-informed Data Governance Solution
TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance™ (TopBraid EDG™) is an enterprise knowledge graph for data governance – (actually a modular set of different types of graphs) expressing knowledge about the things needed for managing and governing your data
Using standards-based knowledge graph technologies, TopBraid EDG supports integrated data governance across numbers and types of data assets and governance needs – because connections are important.
With EDG, you can choose data governance packages to support a comprehensive and staged approach to data governance.
Best-Fit Data Governance
We recognize that in ramping up a data governance program, different organizations may have differing priorities and starting points. With TopBraid EDG, you can start incrementally.
For example, you may start using EDG for just business glossaries or just reference data or you may first focus on metadata management. After the initial start, you can always extend your scope to governing other assets when you are ready to do so.
To support this comprehensive but staged approach, TopBraid EDG provides focused packages, available as an initial configuration of EDG.
TopBraid EDG’s Modular Governance Packages
Each package can be used on its own or in any combination with the other packages toward your targeted scope of information governance
Further, several add-on modules are available to extend the use of TopBraid EDG even more.
