What is a Data Catalog?

A data catalog is intended to inform customers about the available data sets and metadata around a topic. Along with assisting users in locating data quickly, a data catalog differs from a data dictionary in its ability for searching and retrieving information. Instead, it is about establishing a directory that allows users to gain easy access to business definitions. Additionally, their self-service capabilities make them a valuable piece of the business intelligence structure.
