Hey All, Wow....LONG time no post! ;-)
We've got a large client with MANY (over 100) data sources (including spreadsheets on PCs....you know the story). They want to have a central "catalog" of what data can be found where. Of course it's not just basic details like "payroll data can be accessed in the xyz database), but rather a more in depth description of that data, what it may or may not be good for, comments on quality or aggregation, and so on. I've done some preliminary searching for "business data catalog" (as well as "business data catalogue" for us Canucks on the list). The results are greatly infested with a Microsoft tool that ties in with SharePoint (and I will read up on it). Does anyone have any other ideas? suggested search terms? know of such an application? Of course it may be that we simply have to build the application to meet their requirements, but I like to see what else is out there. BTW....open source is fine by me.
