A data catalog inventories and makes critical datasets available through metadata management. This platform informs businesspeople about what dataset assets exist and are related, where to find them, when they appeared, who created them, and how to access them, among other insights. 

As centralized repositories, data catalogs aim to be relevant to users across an organization, systematically organizing and presenting selected datasets and their contexts. That way, businesses can comply with regulation, security, and privacy practices while enriching catalog entries as new datasets or data relationships become available.

Corporations continuously curate data catalogs to make dataset searching and selection more relevant to users. These curation processes evolve to keep up with business and marketplace changes and are guided by Data Governance activities that formalize data roles and processes and handle metadata management.
