Aurelius Atlas is an open-source data governance platform designed to help business users access, understand and manage governance information. It provides a central place to discover business and technical metadata, track data ownership, understand data lineage and support compliance initiatives.

• Data exploration

• Ownership tracking

• Data lineage tracking

• Data sensitivity management

• Insights into data quality

These features help users find relevant information, understand where data comes from, identify who is responsible for it and make informed decisions based on trusted data.

• Lack of visibility into data assets

• Unclear ownership

• Difficulties performing impact analysis

• Compliance risks

• Misalignment between business and technical teams

By providing a centralised view of metadata, ownership, lineage and governance information, the platform helps users find, understand and trust their data more effectively.

Aurelius Atlas uses a model proposed by Aurelius Enterprise. This model connects the business meaning of data with its technical implementation, helping organisations understand what data means, who is responsible for it, where it is stored and how it is connected. A detailed explanation of each entity in the model is available in the Enterprise Data Governance Metamodel document.

Aurelius Atlas supports both business and technical governance entities. Business entities include Data Domains, Data Entities and Data Attributes. Technical entities include Systems, Collections, Datasets and Data Fields. The model connects business and technical data to provide a complete view of organisational data assets. For detailed descriptions and examples of each entity, please refer to the Enterprise Data Governance Metamodel document.
