Quick Start Guides

TopQuadrant’s Data Foundation™ supports integrated data governance across the ever growing numbers and types of data assets and governance needs. It lets you capture business glossaries, data sources, conceptual models or ontologies, reference data, business applications, policies and more. Further, it lets you build relationships across all of these items – because connections are key to data governance.

Reference data are standardized codes or data entities that are typically used by multiple applications as lists or tables.

Explorer lets a broader community of data stakeholders work with the enterprise knowledge graph curated by TopBraid EDG.
