D8taCat: Enterprise-Wide Data Discovery, and Cataloging

D8taCat introduces two distinct discovery methodologies to optimize data cataloging and governance:

1. Automated Dynamic Data Discovery
   • Continuously scans and inventories data from enterprise databases, APIs, file systems, and cloud storage.
   • Operates independently from D8taIngest, allowing parallel processing for optimized performance.
   • Detects and alerts users of schema changes, format updates, and content modifications for change control audits.

1. User & AI-Driven Interactive Discovery
   • Supports natural language queries using LLMs like Anthropic Claude and Mistral AI.
   • Enables users to search datasets via keywords, filters, and structured parameters.
   • Provides visual dashboards for data usage trends, quality metrics, lineage tracking, and impact analysis.

By combining AI-driven automation with interactive exploration, D8taCat enables businesses to efficiently organize, track, and derive value from their data assets.

D8taCat goes beyond simple cataloging by embedding AI-driven recommendations and business value tracking:

• Context-aware dataset suggestions based on usage patterns and application needs.
• Predictive insights that recommend the best datasets for specific business functions.
• Automated reporting on data relevance, consumption, and impact on decision-making.

D8taCat ensures that enterprises don’t just store data—but leverage it for measurable business v

As part of the D8taOps Framework, D8taCat enforces enterprise-wide governance policies:

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Securely manages data access based on user roles and policies.
• Self-Service Data Requests: Provides streamlined access to lower-classification datasets.
• Change Alerts & Notifications: Tracks and notifies users of data availability, schema modifications, and dataset deprecation.

By ensuring data security, compliance, and proactive alerts, D8taCat empowers organizations to maintain full control over their data ecosystem.

D8taCat is designed to integrate with external enterprise tools for enhanced functionality:

• Exposes APIs for integration with BI platforms, analytics tools, and data catalogs.
• Supports custom plug-ins to adapt to specific organizational needs.
• Facilitates interoperability across diverse data environments.

With API-first architecture, D8taCat ensures enterprises can extend data discovery capabilities without disrupting existing workflows.
