The data catalog category is dying — and for good reason. While most cling to search and discovery, the world moved on. In just 30 minutes: ⚰️ The Catalog Trap: Learn why organizations investing in traditional catalogs are buying solutions designed for 2015's problems with 2025's budgets 🚀 Metadata Intelligence Platforms: Discover the architectural paradigm replacing catalogs — unified systems where discovery, quality, governance, and AI operate on shared semantic foundations #Data30 #DataGovernance #AI #DataCatalog #dataengineering #openmetadata

Context tells you *about* the data. Semantics tells you *how to use* the data. For years, metadata was enough. Describe your data, document ownership, and show lineage. But AI doesn't read documentation - it needs something different: executable meaning. In this session: → What data, metadata, context, semantics, and information actually mean → Why the distinctions matter more now than ever for AI-ready infrastructure → How organizations are bridging the gap between human and machine understanding → What changes when you shift from descriptive to executable meaning 30 minutes on the foundation that determines whether your AI initiatives scale or stall. The focus is on education beyond any one product, to explore deeper patterns reshaping the data management industry. This is for teams building data platforms, enabling AI, or rethinking governance strategy. #Data30 #DataGovernance #AI #DataArchitecture #dataengineering #openmetadata
