Enterprise Data Catalog brings together all data assets in an enterprise and presents a comprehensive view of data assets and data asset relationships. Data assets in the enterprise might exist in relational databases, purpose-built applications, reporting tools, HDFS, and other big-data repositories.

For example, as an analyst of a major eCommerce retailer, you want to gather data into a Business Intelligence analytics tool. You use Data Integration Hub and the underlying mapping engine to publish data into topics, and configure the Business Intelligence system to subscribe to published topics.

After you configure the PowerCenter mapping and Data Integration Hub resources in Enterprise Data Catalog, you can see the end to end lineage of the analytics business processes in Enterprise Data Catalog.
