What is Metadata Hub?

A Metadata Hub is a central platform for managing and governing metadata across an organization. It aggregates metadata from various data sources, such as databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and ETL tools, providing a unified view of data assets and their characteristics. Common uses include data discovery, data lineage analysis, data quality monitoring, and enforcing data governance policies. By providing a comprehensive understanding of data, metadata hubs enable better data-driven decision-making, improved data quality, and increased data trust.
