Overview

Custom metadata integration signifies ingesting metadata from custom data sources into the catalog. You can use custom metadata integration to ingest metadata from data sources for which Enterprise Data Catalog does not provide a resource. Based on the model for the data source, Enterprise Data Catalog extracts metadata from the data source. Enterprise Data Catalog, by default, provides models for multiple data sources from which you can extract metadata. These models are referred to as system models. To ingest custom metadata in the catalog, you must define a custom model as the first step.

Custom metadata represents metadata that you define for custom data sources. Custom metadata includes custom properties, relationships, attributes, classes, and context information in the custom data source.
