Evaluation and selection of data catalogue tools for an automotive manufacturer

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.
