About this course

Azure Data Catalog helps data producers and data consumers to discover, organize, and understand diverse data assets, and it enables self-service data source discovery with a crowdsourced model of metadata and annotation in a community and culture of data. In this computer science course, data professionals and business intelligence experts can get hands-on with the cloud-based Azure Data Catalog service to see how it works.

Start with an overview of Azure Data Catalog and its abilities, and then look at adopting and creating a Data Catalog. Register data sources, discover and annotate assets, and define a Business Glossary.

Don’t miss this chance to see how Azure Data Catalog delivers a server-less metadata repository that can empower your organization to get more value from its existing data sources.
