Governata builds a centralized metadata repository that explains your data: where it comes from, what it means, and who is responsible for it, so that knowledge becomes institutional, not personal, and easily lost.
Automated extraction from data sources
Technical and business metadata
Customizable metadata standards
Compliant with NDMO
Used by 15+ organizations
When the employee who understands the data leaves, the knowledge leaves with them. That is the real risk.
From automated extraction to metadata quality measurement, all in one integrated module within Governata.
Connecting data sources enables automatic discovery of tables, fields, and relationships without repeated manual input
A dedicated space for business teams to add definitions, usage context, and organizational notes in a shared language
Define mandatory fields, writing guidelines, and approval requirements to ensure consistent and complete documentation
Search across all data assets from one place with filters by owner, classification, and department
Clear maturity indicators, including documentation coverage, field completeness, and freshness, turning improvement into a continuous process
Each data asset can be directly linked to classification, lineage, quality, and ownership without re-entering information
Connect data sources to begin automated extraction
Discover tables, fields, and relationships automatically and add them to the repository
Add business definitions, ownership, and usage purpose according to defined standards
Track metadata quality indicators, identify gaps, and continuously improve the repository
Clear business definitions for each data asset, including origin, meaning, and usage, so analysis starts with understanding, not from scratch
Automated extraction provides a complete view of the technical data structure across all sources, with the ability to define standards and measure metadata quality
A fully documented repository showing ownership, usage purpose, and classification for each asset, ready for compliance without manual effort
Clear metadata standards applied across the organization with quality indicators highlighting gaps and guiding priorities
You cannot classify data that is not defined, nor govern data that is not understood. The metadata repository provides full context for every data asset.
A centralized repository replaces fragmented knowledge across systems and individuals
✓ One search delivers a complete result across all sources
NDMO requires documenting data assets, ownership, and purpose
✓ The repository enables automatic documentation without manual effort
Data knowledge becomes institutional, not tied to employees who may leave
✓True operational continuity
When each department defines “customer” differently, reports conflict, and decisions become inconsistent
✓ The repository standardizes terminology One term, one meaning, one decision
AI models require reliable and well-understood data
✓ The metadata repository provides the foundation for safe and effective usage
Analytics teams can start analyzing immediately because they understand the data instead of starting from scratch every time.
✓ Less time understanding data, more time analyzing it
Technical metadata is automatically extracted from the source and includes tables, fields, and relationships Business metadata is added by business teams and includes definitions, usage purpose, and ownership Both appear together in a single view for each data asset
No. Once the data source is connected, extraction runs automatically and results are added to the repository Manual effort is only required during the business enrichment phase
The platform automatically reflects changes in the repository upon re-extraction, ensuring it always stays up to date and aligned with actual data
Governance teams define mandatory fields, writing guidelines, and approval requirements Incomplete or non-compliant entries cannot be saved
Yes. The platform provides clear indicators such as documentation coverage, field completeness, and freshness, making improvement measurable and continuous
Yes. Each data asset can be directly linked to classification, lineage, quality, and ownership without needing to re-enter information
Governata builds a living metadata repository that continuously updates so you always know what your data is, where it comes from, and who is responsible for it
