Catalog & Cocktails: The Honest, No-BS Data Podcast

What’s the story with data lineage?

How can you be certain the data you’re working with is trusted, up-to-date and understandable?
Data lineage tells you where data originated, how it's used, and what transformations are applied as it flows from data sources and ETL workflows to downstream data marts and dashboards. In episode 7, Tim, Juan, and special guest Ernie Ostic from MANTA discuss how mapping data - and all its associated metadata and dependencies - leads to cleaner analysis and better business decisions.

What’s the deal with knowledge graphs?

What do companies like Airbnb, Google, and Lyft have in common? They put knowledge graphs at the center of their metadata and data strategy. In episode 6, Tim and Juan talk about knowledge graph technology - how it works, why it works, and why it should be part of your metadata and data management strategy.

How does your data team get value from a data catalog?

Last week we chatted about data producers, data consumers and the need for a data product manager; and their pain points. In this episode, we will chat how these pain points should be addressed by a data catalog in order to provide value to data teams. Juan and Tim will compare and contrast old-world data access and collaboration techniques with a modern approach.

Who’s on your data team?

You don’t have to have the word “data” in your title to be a data person. For example, Juan and Tim don’t, but they are very much part of our data team. In this episode, we will chat about the myriad personas that interact with data, from producers to consumers and everything in between.

Every hero has an origin story. In episode three, data.world CTO and co-founder Bryon Jacob joins Juan and Tim to share how data integration nightmares in a prior role put him on the path to data and metadata enlightenment.

Don’t boil the ocean. Boil a fishbowl.

Join Juan and Tim for a deeper dive on data catalogs. This episode will look at how catalogs can address the continuum of metadata and data management and give you an achievable starting point on your journey to understanding all your data.
