Governance Concepts

One of the key use cases of Catalog is to bridge the gap between your business knowledge and the related data assets.

To help you do so, Catalog supports several concepts that create links between different types of assets, such as dashboards, tables, glossary terms, and business definitions. Features like tags, pinned assets, and ownership help you organize information, surface relevant context, and guide users to what matters most.

Use this table to pick the concept guide that matches what you need to set up first:

Method	Best for
Tags	Grouping assets with domain, classification, or lifecycle labels so readers can filter and browse consistent groupings.
Pinned Assets	Adding cross-links and mentions so an asset surfaces related tables, dashboards, or knowledge next to the record people already opened.
Ownership	Assigning accountable owners so documentation and stewardship stay clear as assets change.

Each linked guide walks through how to use the feature and how it connects your data with the people and knowledge around it.
