From Capture to Activation — Powering Metadata-Driven Intelligence Across Your Ecosystem
The InfoLibrarian™ Platform is a key component in your diverse data landscape, designed to seamlessly integrate with and enhance your existing tools, systems, and teams—across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. It provides a modular, extensible foundation to unify, enrich, govern, and activate metadata at scale, working alongside your established data platforms, tools, and frameworks.
Our platform unifies metadata onboarding (including streaming metadata), semantic enrichment, business glossary publishing, and API-based activation into a modular, governed architecture, built for interoperability within your existing data environment.
Foundational capabilities shared across modern metadata platforms—designed for interoperability, governance, and activation across your data ecosystem.
In today's complex data landscape, no single tool exists in isolation. A robust metadata ecosystem relies on platforms that seamlessly integrate, share insights, and empower diverse tools and teams. Understanding the core capabilities is key to building a connected, governed data environment.

Metadata Collection & Ingestion (including Streaming Metadata)
Harvest metadata from diverse systems, files, APIs, and cloud services to build a unified view, supporting both batch and streaming sources.
Metadata Repository & Storage
Store, version, and manage structured metadata in centralized or federated architectures.
Business & Technical Semantics
Define and organize glossaries, taxonomies, classifications, and relationships across data domains.
Lineage & Impact Analysis
Visualize and trace data flow across pipelines, systems, and transformations for transparency and root cause analysis.
Metadata APIs & Interoperability
Enable open access and integration with external tools and workflows via standards-based APIs and SDKs.
Stewardship & Data Governance
Support stewardship roles, certification workflows, policies, and governance controls tied to metadata, integrating with your existing governance processes.
Metadata Activation & Automation
Leverage metadata for discovery, observability, policy automation, quality enforcement, and AI readiness by enabling active metadata use across your ecosystem.
