About this task

Watson Knowledge Catalog provides a secure enterprise catalog management platform that is supported by a data governance framework. A catalog connects people to the data and knowledge that they need.

A catalog is how you share assets across your enterprise:

  • Collaborators in a catalog have access to data assets without needing separate credentials or being able to see the credentials.
  • An asset in a catalog consists of metadata about data, including how to access the data, the data format, the classification of the asset, which collaborators can access the data and other types of metadata that describe the data
