Benefits of a data catalog

The primary benefit of a data catalog is that it acts as a single source of reference for all one’s data needs in an organization. OvalEdge catalogs the entire data of various databases, file systems & visualization software. It creates a knowledge base of data by human curation and various data, machine learning and code parsing algorithms.

1. Data democratization

• Provide access to data to everyone
• Communication/collaboration on data

2. Knowledge base of entire data portfolio

• Profiling algorithms to quickly answer most common questions
• Documentation on Data.

3. Combined toolsets

• Query tools
• Documentation tools
• Governance tools

4. Algorithms to organize data

• Machine Learning algorithms to tag data automatically
• Relationship algorithms to find relationships
• Code parsing algorithms to understand relationships and lineage
• SQL query logs parsing to understand relationships and lineage
