11 Managing Data Catalog

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.
