    Overview

    Informatica Enterprise Information Catalog provides a machine-learning-based discovery engine to collect data assets across the enterprise while increasing the understanding of those data assets through a graph-based enterprise information catalog. Powered by Informatica’s unique metadata services engine, Enterprise Information Catalog enables business analysts and data stewards to find all types of data across the enterprise; discover relationships among them; enrich data with business glossary terms and crowdsourced annotations; and understand the provenance, quality, and usage of their data.

Data Federator interface can be used from the SAP NetWeaver BW system to connect SAP BusinessObjects tools (Web Intelligence, Explorer, Xcelsius) to the SAP NetWeaver NetWeaver BW system. The Data Federator interface uses the Data Mart interface (see Data Mart Interface). This makes it possible to read all data and metadata for an InfoProvider (characteristics, key figures, navigation attributes).
