  • Forrester changed the way they think about data catalogs, and here’s what you need to know: The data industry is in the middle of a fundamental shift in how we think about metadata. Gone are the days when IT teams used to create an “inventory of data” that listed its metadata and spent more time implementing and updating these tools than actually using them. With the advent of?Data Catalog 2.0 in the early 2010s, the focus shifted towards data stewardship and integrating data with business context. But along with it came a challenge of adoption and companies found that people rarely used their expensive data catalogs. For a while, the data world thought that machine learning was the solution. Now the industry is witnessing a shift again. This summer, Forrester scrapped its Wave report on “Machine Learning Data Catalogs” to make way for one on “Enterprise Data Catalogs for DataOps". In this article, Prukulpa writes about the latest sign of a major shift in how data space thinks about metadata as a follow-up to Forrester's recent publication
  • What to Do When Business and Data Teams Are Disconnected: A smooth working and coordination between the organisation's data team and the business team lead to better decision-making by producing more reliable insights and driving business towards being data-driven. However most of the time this isn't the case. There often is a?disconnect between data teams and business teams. This could mean a team tracking analytics using a separate external platform, different from your warehouse, or the data team deleting a dashboard they thought was no longer relevant to the business.?While this is a difficult problem to solve, it can be done. Madison Schott shares how can businesses bridge the communication gap between data and business teams.

  • Why Can’t I Find the Right Data?: There may be many reasons why a company adopts a data catalog like- answering questions about where to find data and what datasets to use, improving data quality for making business decisions and empowering your stakeholders to self-serve the data, and more importantly, the right data. In this post, Pardhu shares his experience of building DataHub at LinkedIn and the learnings from 100+ interviews with data leaders and practitioners at various companies. He shares why data catalogs fall short of overcoming the fragmentation to deliver a fully self-served data discovery experience.
