Datasets are described, organized, and made browsable and searchable in Amazon FinSpace with three constructs:
-
Categories – Categories allow for cataloging of datasets by commonly used business terms. Categories are hierarchical in nature, allowing for each node of the hierarchy to have a name and a description. The order of the nodes within a level are defined when you define categories. The Categories are displayed in the data browser when you choose Catalog on the left navigation bar.
-
Controlled Vocabularies – Controlled Vocabularies are enumeration lists of attributes to describe datasets.
-
Attribute Sets – Attribute Sets are lists of attributes that can be applied to datasets. Attributes are metadata fields used to capture additional business context for each dataset. You can then browse and search attributes to find a dataset based on the values assigned to the attributes.
For information on how to configure your business catalog see Tutorial: Configuring a business data catalog in Amazon FinSpace.
