Data Catalog is the logical representation of the underlying Data Model, which is contextualized by the Metadata to enable a better understanding of the Data Model and the Enterprise-wide Data.
Data structures underlying AFCS are delivered, deployed, viewed, extended and managed with associated metadata through Data Catalog. The Data Catalog has the following traits:
· Representation of data structures in Business Terms.
· Representation of data structures in technical terms, including their physical manifestation and properties.
· Alignment of data structures with Domains.
· Metadata, including Data Model and quality constraints.
This section provides information about how you may access, view, extend and manage your Data Catalog.
To access the Data Catalog, navigate to the Catalog Viewer. To navigate to the Catalog Viewer, on the Home Page, select Browse Data Catalog. The Catalog Viewer Page is displayed. The deployed Domain, its corresponding Subject Areas, and all the relevant Entities are listed on the Catalog Viewer Page by default. Click the Previous or Next Arrow Buttons to navigate through the complete list of Entities.
