What's the difference between a data dictionary and data glossary? While they sound similar, these metadata repositories serve different purposes for organizations. In this video, learn exactly how data dictionaries and glossaries enable data governance and collaboration across teams.
We'll explore the unique scope, target audience, and use cases for each artifact. Data dictionaries provide technical metadata about database structures and systems, making them ideal for IT teams. Data glossaries contain business definitions and make data more accessible to business users.
Modern data catalogs bring these critical metadata components together in one platform. With a catalog, teams can maximize data discovery while maintaining governance.
Going beyond definitions, we'll see how dictionaries, glossaries, and catalogs power real data strategies. Collaboration gets a boost when cross-functional teams can find, understand, and govern data in one place. The video also discusses how automation features in catalogs help scale data governance efforts.
Stewardship and ownership become actionable when stewards have tools to manage policies and access. Onboarding improves when new users can start from a central metadata resource.
Whether you're implementing a new governance program or looking to improve an existing one, this video will demonstrate how data dictionaries, glossaries, and catalogs work together to ensure data quality, consistency, and availability across the organization. Learn how modern tools like Atlan provide comprehensive metadata management to drive insights and innovation with trustworthy data.
The video provides viewers with a clear understanding of dictionaries vs. glossaries. It also shows how modern catalogs bring technical and business metadata together for greater governance, collaboration, and decision making.
