OpenMetadata Consists of Four Main Components:

• Metadata Schemas: These are the core definitions and vocabulary for metadata based on common abstractions and types. They also allow for custom extensions and properties to suit different use cases and domains.
• Metadata Store: This is the central repository for storing and managing the metadata graph, which connects data assets, users, and tool-generated metadata in a unified way.
• Metadata APIs: These are the interfaces for producing and consuming metadata, built on top of the metadata schemas. They enable seamless integration of user interfaces and tools, systems, and services with the metadata store.
• Ingestion Framework: This is a pluggable framework for ingesting metadata from various sources and tools to the metadata store. It supports about 84+ connectors for data warehouses, databases, dashboard services, messaging services, pipeline services, and more.

Key Features of OpenMetadata

Data Discovery: Find and explore all your data assets in a single place using various strategies, such as keyword search, data associations, and advanced queries. You can search across tables, topics, dashboards, pipelines, and services.

Data Collaboration: Communicate, converse, and cooperate with other users and teams on data assets. You can get event notifications, send alerts, add announcements, create tasks, and use conversation threads.

Data Quality and Profiler: Measure and monitor the quality with no-code to build trust in your data. You can define and run data quality tests, group them into test suites, and view the results in an interactive dashboard. With powerful collaboration, make data quality a shared responsibility in your organization.
