Coalesce Catalog is an AI-assisted data catalog designed to make an organization’s data assets easier to find, understand, and use. It combines searchable data documentation and business context with lineage and governance capabilities, helping analysts and other employees explore data while keeping reliability, access, and compliance concerns in view. The catalog connects to a data stack to ingest metadata, and includes a data assistant for natural-language search and SQL support. ## O que Coalesce Catalog pode fazer? ### Metadata ingestion and documentation Connect the catalog to a data stack to ingest metadata and automate documentation, reducing the need to document every asset manually. ### Natural-language discovery Search for datasets and metrics using plain language, with AI-assisted results intended to help users find relevant assets without relying on exact technical names. ### Business glossary and context Organize data catalog entries alongside business terminology so teams can relate technical assets to the terms used in their work. ### Lineage across assets View column-level lineage and a higher-level picture of data pipelines to understand how data is connected and assess the downstream effects of changes. ### Data trust signals Review data trust assessments, AI-driven quality evaluations, and usage frequency to help judge asset reliability and relevance. ### SQL assistance Convert natural-language requests into SQL and get help formulating queries. ## Casos de uso ### Help analysts locate usable data Business and analytics users can search for datasets or metrics in plain language rather than depending on a data specialist to identify each asset. ### Orient employees to unfamiliar data Teams can use catalog documentation, glossary terms, and lineage to understand an asset’s business meaning and how it fits into broader data workflows. ### Assess data before using it in reporting Analysts can consult trust assessments, quality evaluations, and usage frequency when deciding whether an asset is suitable for an analysis. ### Investigate the impact of a data change Data teams can follow column lineage and pipeline relationships to identify assets that may be affected by an upstream change. ### Reduce routine query support Teams can use natural-language-to-SQL assistance to formulate queries against organizational data. ## Perguntas frequentes ### What happened to CastorDoc?
