What is OpenMetadata?

OpenMetadata is an Open Standard for Metadata. A Single place to Discover, Collaborate, and Get your data right.

OpenMetadata includes the following:

Metadata schemas - defines core abstractions and vocabulary for metadata with schemas for Types, Entities, Relationships between entities. This is the foundation of the Open Metadata Standard.
Metadata store - stores metadata graph that connects data assets, user, and tool generated metadata.
Metadata APIs - for producing and consuming metadata built on schemas for User Interfaces and Integration of tools, systems, and services.
Ingestion framework - a pluggable framework for integrating tools and ingesting metadata to the metadata store. Ingestion framework already supports well know data warehouses - Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, and Apache Hive, and databases - MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and MSSQL.
OpenMetadata User Interface - one single place for users to discover, and collaborate on all data.
