Let's add context to your Data Catalog!

Data products have been a great addition to modern enterprise architecture as they give the ability to manage data and see from the technical perspective what data is available and where it resides. This is often managed with a data catalog tool. 

However, what makes a data product valuable, is that it's not just a technical implementation, but there's a business context behind it, that needs to be captured and well understood, in order to lead to a valuable business outcome. Data catalogs can be augmented with business-centric information that gives a fuller picture of your data product landscape.

In this webinar we are going to walk you through the business-centric approach and how to capture your contextual metadata to bring a full picture to your data catalog. This knowledge usually resides in your business processes and capabilities and of course the people, such as business analysts, product managers, and domain experts.

We'll introduce a simple data modeling approach to capture and maintain this valuable information. And show from an architectural perspective how to link the business context with your data catalog.
