Semantics

Enriching your assets ..

PDQ provides the ability to define semantic terms, tags, applications, dimensions, and fields which can be assigned to an asset, attribute, and rules to categorize the data accordingly. Once the semantics are defined the platform will auto-discover the data type and field type and will automatically apply them across the organization's data asset.

Domains

A domain in a data catalog refers to a logical grouping or category of related data assets within an organization. It provides a way to organize and classify information based on business functions, subject areas, or departments. Domains help structure the data catalog, making it easier for users to navigate, discover, and understand relevant data assets.

By grouping similar data together, domains improve data governance, enable more effective search and browsing, and facilitate the management of data ownership and access rights. This organizational structure is particularly useful in large enterprises with diverse data landscapes, allowing stakeholders to quickly locate and comprehend the data relevant to their specific area of interest or responsibility.

Under Semantics, the user can create domains that apply to the organization
