A data catalog is a metadata management tool that centralizes meta datasets in one place. It facilitates access to a perimeter of metadata and allows the organization to manage its definition, use and quality.

You can connect the metadata in the catalog to the organization's business information, reference the regulations that apply to the metadata in the catalog and to which the organizations at stake are subject.

To define the scope of the metadata, Hopex Data Governance offers a data discovery tool. It allows you to connect to multiple data sources (SQL, No SQL, files, storage, etc.) and extract a scope of metadata. See Data Discovery.
