What is a Data Catalog? Everything You Need to Know in 90 Seconds

What is a Data Catalog? And how does a data catalog benefit your organization?

A data catalog is a centralized system that collects and organizes metadata about an organization's data assets such as tables, columns, pipelines, and dashboards.

A Data Catalog helps organizations to keep track of their data assets, enables discovery and reuse of data, improves data quality, and supports metadata use cases such as data lineage and business glossaries.

Besides, data Catalogs have come a long way.

Watch as Austin Kronz, Director of Data Strategy at Atlan explains the evolution of Data Catalogs through generations into modern data catalogs, or active metadata platforms - they’ve come from just collecting and siloing data to making it more discoverable and enabling you in utilising it in other parts of your data and analytics ecoystem.
