Data governance and social catalog platform
Metaphor is a modern data governance and catalog platform that combines automated lineage, documentation, and social collaboration features to drive data trust, adoption, and governance across an organization. Built by former data leaders, it emphasizes making data discoverable and understandable for everyone, with automated technical metadata, business context, and social signals that encourage documentation and knowledge sharing across data and business teams.
Metaphor is used by data teams that want a governance-focused catalog that engages the whole organization, not just data engineers, through a social, collaborative approach. Its automated lineage and metadata reduce manual effort, its social features drive documentation and trust, and its governance capabilities support policy and compliance. For organizations aiming to democratize data understanding and governance, Metaphor offers a collaborative platform.
