Reimagine Your Data Product Marketplace
Build Trust, Discoverability, and Governance – Powered by Semantics
Modern enterprises are investing in data products and data marketplaces to unlock reuse, accountability, and self-service. But when marketplaces lack shared meaning and governance, they stall.
TopQuadrant changes that. We’re building a new kind of data marketplace: semantic at its core, governed by design, and powered by knowledge graphs.
The Goal: Governed, Discoverable, Trusted Data Products
We help organizations transform scattered assets into connected, governed data products that are:
Taxonomies
Trusted lists of business terms
Glossaries
Internally defined concepts
Ontologies
Semantic models bridging technical and business meaning
These assets are the semantic foundation of a modern data product marketplace, so data isn’t just stored, it’s understood.
Our Take: Marketplaces Need More Than Metadata
Most data marketplaces treat data products like files: disconnected from context, meaning, and governance. That leads to confusion, duplication, and risk.
A true data marketplace delivers:
Trust: clarity on who owns what and why it matters
Context: links to business goals, systems, and usage
Control: governance that’s embedded, not bolted on
Only semantic technology and knowledge graphs can make this happen at scale.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail
Even well-intentioned platforms fall short due to:
- Listings with no clear product definition
- Lineage lacking business context
- Permissions without policy enforcement
- Search without semantic understanding
- Governance that's reactive, not embedded
Without semantics, it’s not a data marketplace—it’s a directory.
Why Knowledge Graphs Make the Difference
A knowledge graph–driven data marketplace:
- Links data products to owners, business terms, and policies
- Powers semantic search and intelligent recommendations
- Enables federated discovery across domains
- Makes metadata AI-ready for automation and compliance
The result? A smarter, safer, and more scalable data marketplace.
