What’s new?

Introducing Connected Catalog and Data Map

The Connected Catalog seamlessly integrates your physical lineage with business glossaries, data dictionaries, and systems catalog through one intuitive interface. This allows you to easily explore specific technical assets using familiar descriptors and definitions.

The Data Map provides a visual representation of your catalog, enabling you to navigate from a high-level overview of your business lineage to the fine-grained lineage of technical assets. Together, these features empower technical teams to establish and deliver metadata domains, enabling the business to explore, analyze, attest, and derive insights.

Connected Catalog

Catalog capabilities unify data sources, significantly reducing the time to attain crucial business insights.

  • Technical architects can publish data domains that connect physical data flows with their supporting glossaries, dictionaries and policies in one interface. 
  • In minutes, explore data assets, entities, properties, regulatory obligations, and other business or technical context throughout your entire data ecosystem. 
  • Dive deeper into hierarchies to view available assets and their descriptions. 
  • Access user-friendly and newly refreshed business glossary and data dictionary views. 
  • In a few clicks, jump from catalog entries to domain-scale visualizations. 

New capabilities for Solidatus users

FVGIF1 Data Domain Entity Trace
  • Browse data domains through your chosen lens: technical metadata, systems architecture, or regulatory obligations. 
  • Search data domains for glossary terms or physical assets, quickly revealing the connections between them. 
  • Transition seamlessly from a catalog entry to its lineage view with the integration of Data Maps.

Data Maps

Consolidate your entire enterprise of data flows into a map that your business teams can interpret, explore, and analyze. 

  • Data architects can present enterprise-wide data flows in a way that is easy for business users to understand, explore, and performs well at scale. 
  • Business users can visually browse entire systems or focus on where specific data elements originate. For more context on an asset, they can open its sidebar to review its properties and relationships to glossary terms or key policy obligations. 
  • Navigate from a ‘Map of the World’ to the trace of an entity in just a few clicks – all in a business context that is easily understood.  
  • Users can click “Trace” in the sidebar to eliminate unnecessary details and view the lineage specifically for columns or tables.
