project facts

The implementation of the Data Catalog supporting the Data Scientists focuses on:

  • Understand: what is available to build algorithms
  • Locate: where is the data stored and how is it transformed
  • Share: build new data sets that can be reused across the Data Science team

The project methodology addressed the following:

  • Put agility at the heart of the project. Think big, start small and move fast!
  • Technical inventory of 17 systems and 30 data assets
