About Catalog Toolkit

Catalog Toolkit is a fast and easy way of setting up the UI for your catalog to meet your business needs -- that is adding custom fields and sections to the UI, adding custom resources, creating subtypes for glossary terms.

Your installation is setup with 4 organizations:

  1. Catalog Configuration organization: Where you will create the metadata profile and do tasks like create custom fields and sections for the resources pages to enhance the user experience of your catalog.

  2. Catalog Sources organization: This is where you upload your data via collectors, connection manager etc. This organization provides a structured approach for deploying collector outputs and metadata profiles associated with the data sources. As collectors are enhanced to capture more detailed or accurate metadata, the  Catalog Toolkit provides the means to seamlessly update the catalog to reflect these improvements.

  3. Catalog Sandbox organization: This is a preview or QA environment where you can check if you did the setup correctly.

  4. Catalog Main organization: This is the production organization that the end users see. This is where you maintain the metadata and stewards enrich the metadata.

The data.world team will help set up the initial metadata profile for you in the Configuration organization. This documentation will walk you through the process of maintaining the configurations.
