As the world of data management grows and changes, the roles and participants in data ecosystems must adapt. With the convergence of several influences – big data, self-service analytics, and self-service data preparation – we need to actively manage the inventory of self-service data. Data curation is both a data inventory management process and a data governance activity. The data curator is responsible to oversee a collection of data assets and make it available to and findable by anyone who needs data. Cataloging maintains the collection of metadata that is necessary to support browsing, searching, evaluating, accessing, and securing datasets.
