Combing the web is simple, but how do you search for data at work? It's
difficult and time-consuming, and can sometimes seem impossible. This
book introduces a practical solution: the data catalog. Data analysts,
data scientists, and data engineers will learn how to create true data
discovery in their organizations, making the catalog a key enabler for
data-driven innovation and data governance.

catalog. You'll learn how to organize data for your catalog, search for
what you need, and manage data within the catalog. Written from a data
