Data dictionary and glossar capabilities

DG1 — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 16:06:22 GMT

Hi everyone!

I would love to know whether Databricks has the following capabilities and what are the core functionalities of the tool:

Data glossary: provides clear definitions of business terms, ensuring that everyone in the organization uses the same terminology consistently
Data dictionary: describes the structure and metadata of data elements, ensuring technical consistency across systems

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @DG1 - You can use AI to generate comments for your Unity Catalog Database objects. For the Data glossary, you can have specific roles in your organization to establish those standards. We do have business semantics (UC metrics Views) for a centralized way to define and manage consistent, reusable, and governed core business metrics.
