This latest release concentrates on the creation of new assets, business terms, and the technical environment in which Zeenea connects itself in the enterprise.

A Business glossary defines a certain number of terms that are linked to a business domain. Its objective is to align all collaborators on the definition of a specific term in the organization, as well as in database systems.

Manually in Zeenea, or connected to the enterprise’s existing dictionaries, create a Business Glossary that is accessible in our data catalog. 

In order to establish a common language around data in an enterprise, it is necessary to offer this new asset to our clients – we call them business terms. These terms thus become assets, and like datasets, they are documentable and searchable in our tool. These business terms then become linked to the fields in datasets that are catalogued in Zeenea. 

All affiliated fields become visible on the screen of the business term in question.

Zeenea offers new connectors. They are ElasticSearch, and Red Shift. Release after release, Zeenea develops a set of connectors that will automatically inventory newly stored datasets in your different bases. 

We also offer open connectors on Open Data, such as CKan. 

With its connectors, Zeenea inventories and exposes on its interface all available datasets in the requested database. We are referring to our Data Discovery feature: Zeenea detects stored datasets and their modifications in the databases. 

Currently, our data catalog notifies you when a dataset no longer exists in the storage systems connected to Zeenea. You will have the choice to keep the listed information in the data catalog or delete them.

In order to facilitate the use of Zeenea in your teams, our data catalog now supports different languages. Depending on your browser settings, you Zeenea is displayed in the language of your choice.

Otherwise, Zeenea is by default in English. 🙂

Do you know your enterprise’s data assets? The datasets that are stored in your data storages? The new datasets that were collected? And how frequently they are updated? Here are some of the questions that enterprises must answer in order to become data-driven.

To help our clients map their data, Zeenea offers new features:

Through our connectors, Zeenea inventories and exposes from its interface all the datasets available in the requested database. This feature helps Chief Data Officers and their teams to map the enterprise’s data assets.

In other words, from Zeenea’s interface, our data discovery feature allows you to:

1. Visualize data assets in each storage system that Zeenea is connected to (number of stored datasets and their IDs).
2. Identify your golden datasets for each data storage.
3. Import these datasets in Zeenea with just a few clicks.

Do you know when a new dataset is stored in one of your bases? Or if one of your datasets has been updated (its documentation or schema)?

Connected to your data systems, Zeenea detects newly collected and stored datasets as well as their modifications in your databases through its last inventory.

Configure Zeenea’s crunch frequency in your databases and be notified of the latest “news”!

Our Discovery API allows you to visualize new datasets stored by data storages from a specific date. It’s up to you to integrate them though Zeenea’s interface or to use the Discovery API to catalog the datasets that you wish to import.

It is for this very reason that Zeenea is the enterprise’s metadata catalog. In other words, Zeenea references intrinsic metadata of various cataloged data sets in the tool and allows you to personalize certain fields. What are they?
