#7 Data Dictionary

In this video, we’ll talk about the data dictionary. It contains metadata imported from your data sources (like column names) and metadata that you will add in Dataedo to make your data easier to understand (like descriptions or classifications). The data dictionary is where your users will go to get an in-depth understanding of your data and data systems. This comes with a warning though - your data dictionary will be only as good as the amount of effort you put into it. Dataedo will help you build it, but it can't do it all for you. Now let's see how it's done!
