The challenge
In data analysis use cases, 80 percent of the time is spent searching for suitable data sources and searching for contact persons to gain access. This is mainly due to insufficient metadata management and manual maintenance processes for distributed data. Data catalogs offer an approach here to break down the existing data silos and create a central location for searching for data including various meta-information. However, current systems are monolithic and therefore too inflexible. The high potential of data cataloging remains unused. New services and functions can only be integrated at great expense, with the help of the manufacturer, not along individual requirements or not at all.
