Data Catalog

The Dataedo Catalog centralizes documentation of data assets. The Catalog provides a structured repository where users can annotate data objects with aliases, descriptions, and custom attributes to establish a consistent understanding across teams.

The catalog features data lineage tracking, allowing your colleagues to trace data movement across systems. It also includes Entity Relationship Diagrams for visualizing database structures, as well as Glossaries for standardizing terminology. On top of that, the Report Catalog allows you to generate custom reports on your data assets. Finally, Badges help you to highlight important or sensitive data assets.
