4 Data Catalog Components

A well-defined structure is followed to seed and organize the Data Catalog Contents for efficient discovery and management. The structure starts with a Domain, which for example, in the OFSAA context can be either Banking or Insurance, and for this Domain, the Contents are created. Each Domain can have multiple Subject Areas, and a collection of Entities and Business Terms associated with those Subject Areas.
