Information Governance Catalog (IGC) is a interactive web-based tool that allows users to explore, understand and analyze information. InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager (IMAM) can be used to onboard technical metadata from sources that have out-of-box connectors and the Open IGC, a REST-based interface can be used to onboard metadata from non-traditional sources of technical metadata. The IGC on boarding tool was designed to help facilitate the creation of Open IGC asset bundles and populate metadata for Open IGC asset bundle. This can be accessed through https://localhost:9443/igc_utility/ and there is a demo walkthrough that opens up to help understand the steps in the Open IGC asset bundle creation process. There are two options to upload metadata to the Open IGC asset bundles, a bulk import button “Bulk Import Asset Instances to IGC” and a separate interface to manually add individual assets https://localhost:9443/igc_utility/igc_asset_instance.html. There is also an interface to bulk import data lineage from CSV files and “Bulk Upload Flows/Data Lineage to IGC”.
