Overview of Data Discovery

Finding the right data across thousands of assets is difficult without rich metadata and structured search. Collate acts as a single catalog — aggregating metadata from all your data sources and surfacing the right information based on who’s looking. Who it helps:

• Data producers — make informed decisions about evolving data and prioritizing fixes
• Data consumers — find trustworthy, timely data without digging through silos

How you can search:

• Keyword search across all asset types
• Data associations — frequently joined tables, upstream/downstream lineage
• Complex queries for precise filtering

What you can search across: Tables, topics, dashboards, pipelines, ML models, containers, glossaries, and tags — including detailed metadata for components like columns and charts, with support for complex types such as arrays and structs. Track data evolution end-to-end through lineage and metadata versioning to see how assets change over time.
