Data Catalogs: A Systematic Literature Review and Guidelines to Implementation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference proceedings › peer-review

Abstract

In enterprises, data is usually distributed across multiple data sources and stored in heterogeneous formats. The harmonization and integration of data is a prerequisite to leverage it for AI initiatives. Recently, data catalogs pose a promising solution to semantically classify and organize data sources across different environments and to enrich raw data with metadata. Data catalogs therefore allow to create a single, clear, and easy-accessible interface for training and testing computational models. Despite a lively discussion among practitioners, there is little research on data catalogs. In this paper, we systematically review existing literature and answer the following questions: (1) What are the conceptual components of a data catalog? and (2) Which guidelines can be recommended to implement a data catalog? The results benefit practitioners in implementing a data catalog to accelerate any AI initiative and researchers with a compilation of future research directions.
