Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management (OEMM) serves as a robust platform for managing metadata. It is capable of harvesting and cataloging metadata from a wide array of sources, such as relational databases, Hadoop, ETL processes, business intelligence systems, and data modeling tools, among others. Beyond merely acting as a repository for metadata, OEMM facilitates interactive searching and browsing of the data, while also offering features like data lineage tracking, impact analysis, and both semantic definition and usage analysis for any asset in its catalog. With its sophisticated algorithms, OEMM integrates metadata from various providers, creating a comprehensive view of the data journey from its origin to its final report or back. The platform's compatibility extends to numerous metadata sources, including data modeling tools, databases, CASE tools, ETL engines, data warehouses, BI systems, and EAI environments, among many others. This versatility ensures that organizations can effectively manage and utilize their metadata across diverse environments.
