About the Athena collector

Use this collector to harvest metadata for Oracle tables and columns across the enterprise systems and make it searchable and discoverable in data.world.

Often the tables in an Athena database will participate in Glue ETL jobs. The data.world Collector has the ability to catalog lineage information in Glue ETL jobs. For more information see the article on AWS Glue and the data.world Collector.
