Metadata Catalog

Metadata Catalog

Use the metadata catalog to view details about resources and metadata objects. You can navigate the metadata catalog through the List view or Tree view. You can also configure preferences for the metadata catalog.
Use the metadata catalog to browse the metadata in the Metadata Manager warehouse. Select a metadata object to display details about the object in the Details panel.
The metadata catalog displays the following types of objects:
Resources
Resources represent metadata sources in Metadata Manager. All metadata extracted from a metadata source and loaded into the Metadata Manager warehouse appears under the resource in the metadata catalog. All packaged, universal, and custom resources appear in the metadata catalog.
Logical groups
In the metadata catalog, Metadata Manager organizes objects of the same metadata type in logical groups. For example, Metadata Manager groups all tables in an Oracle schema in the Tables group. Logical groups can appear at multiple levels of the hierarchy, based on the structure of the model for the resource.
Metadata Manager displays fewer details for logical groups than it displays for resources or metadata objects. For logical groups, Metadata Manager displays only the group name and location.
Metadata objects
Metadata objects represent the data structures and fields in a metadata source. Metadata Manager uses the model for the resource type to extract metadata objects from the metadata source.
Navigate the metadata catalog to select an object. You can use the List view to drill-down through individual resources, logical groups, and metadata objects. Alternatively, you can use the Tree view to select resources, logical groups, or metadata objects from a hierarchy. By default, Metadata Manager displays 100 child objects for a parent object. You can configure the number of child objects displayed for any parent object in the Administrator tool.
You can configure preferences for the metadata catalog. Configure preferences to select the resource and metadata object types that you want to display in the metadata catalog.
