Then, a pool of tools appeared on the market with features that allow covering some of the challenges cited, especially those related to data cataloging. Informatica's tool is perhaps the best known among the licensed. Among the open source tools, I highlight Data Hub (www.datahubproject.io) developed on LinkedIn, Open Metadata (https://open-metadata.org/) and Amundsen (https://www.amundsen.io /) powered by Lyft. In addition to cataloging and discovering data artifacts, these tools allow for a view of data lineage, including technical documentation and business terms, and building relationships between data artifacts. Also, it is possible to register data owners, the people responsible for the data in those tools. This greatly facilitates access request and evaluation process (which today is a major bottleneck).
