OpenDataDiscovery Platform
OpenDataDiscovery Platform is an open-source catalog for finding and governing data products across data teams. Search and facet filters help users locate metadata by source, owner, or tag, then explore ownership and related links. The platform traces data objects and microservices end to end, imports data quality test results, and shows dataset quality status. It also catalogs machine-learning experiment metadata and lineage and supports experiment logging, connecting data science and data engineering work. Teams can access collected metadata through a web interface or REST API, and deploy with Docker Compose, Kubernetes and Helm charts, or AWS Marketplace QuickLaunch. The catalog uses an open metadata collection standard to connect catalogs, tools, and feature stores; Lookup Tables support reference data governance. ODD supports LDAP authentication and USER and ADMIN roles. Its documentation cautions against simple login-form authentication in production. Metadata attachments are limited to 20 MB, while links can point to larger or remotely stored files. The platform is free and open source, with public development.
