Data Catalog Requirements Assessment & Tool Selection
For the implementation of a data catalogue, requirements were recorded and a tool evaluation was carried out.
Requirements from stakeholder interviews result in 25 prioritised user stories
Approx. 40 developed and weighted tool evaluation criteria
Four potential Data Catalog tools evaluated
Decision for a data catalogue tool for the PoC phase
Challenge
- A German car manufacturer wants to create transparency about its data objects and their relationship to each other and display them in a so-called data map.
- The data is to be mapped in a data catalogue in order to also make it available more quickly and thus increase the usefulness of the data.
Solution
- In order to capture the requirements of potential users of a data catalogue, interviews were conducted with about 15 stakeholders and their requirements were analysed on the basis of user stories and personas.
- Subsequently, the collected requirements were evaluated and prioritised together with the stakeholders.
- Furthermore, a shortlist of potential data catalogue tools was drawn up and a list of functional and non-functional evaluation criteria and their weighting was developed.
- Based on the shortlist and the evaluation criteria, the Data Catalog tools were assessed as follows
Results
- Stakeholder requirements were analysed in user stories and taken into account in the functional evaluation criteria
- A total of four potential Data Catalog tools were examined and evaluated on the basis of 100 criteria
- Selection of a data catalogue for testing within the framework of a proof of concept, possibly downstream PoC of a further tool.
