Why we included this project
OpenMetadata is the kind of tool that shows up when a team has outgrown spreadsheets and wiki pages as its data catalog. It pulls metadata from 130+ sources through connectors and ties it together with lineage, quality checks, profiling, glossaries, and data contracts, so the answer to 'what does this table mean and can I trust it' lives in one place instead of across a dozen documents. Data engineers and analytics leads get a governed catalog they can actually search, and because the platform ships an MCP server and APIs, AI assistants can draw on the same context rather than guessing at raw schemas. It is a solid self-hosted option for teams that want an alternative to commercial catalogs, and it holds up from a small warehouse to a large enterprise.
