Yes, there are open-source data catalog tools designed to “catalog” all data in an organization, its location, and how it can be accessed. A data catalog tool is valuable but incomplete when it comes to seeing a complete picture of your data environment and how your data functions within it. Data lineage provides a full overview of how your data flows through the systems of your environment via a detailed map of all direct and indirect dependencies between data entities. MANTA’s automated data lineage platform can integrate with a wide variety of out-of-the-box and open-source data catalog tools via the MANTA export feature.
