Any piece of logic in Honeydew can come with associated business metadata such as:
  • Owner
  • Description
  • Labels
  • Folder
  • Display Name
Labels can be used for lightweight governance (such as certifying a metric, or grouping attributes by business domain)
Metadata managed by Honeydew is accessible by other tools.
  • BI Tools can access metadata via Metadata Sync, that pushes that metadata into the BI tool.
  • Native Application can access metadata via API calls.
  • SQL Interface has some metadata (such as descriptions) exposed via standard JDBC interfaces.
  • AI can access metadata through generated LLM prompts.
Honeydew metadata is part of the Honeydew YAML schema and is stored in Git repository.
Catalog integrations typically use the native application API to access metadata.
