Universal Metadata Repository: Integrating Data Profiles Across an Organization

Managing ever-growing content from heterogeneous data sources is a significant challenge in enterprise environments. Many data analysis tools work in isolation to capture various statistical, quality, and provenance information within the enterprise. Yielding meaningful and consistent information from a landscape of different vendor tools requires a holistic and transparent view over all existing extracted metadata. In this paper, we present our Universal Metadata Repository (UMR) applied to three in-flight use cases which combine the power of a technical and business view using knowledge graphs for: searching, inferencing, traceability, administration, enforcing accessibility standards, and providing consistent organizational architecture.
