SuperLuminate
SuperLuminate is a fully functional, web based, thin client, open
source data dictionary application developed and distributed by
SuperLuminate.
A data dictionary is important to any business or organization.
The metadata in your data dictionary plays a key role in reacting
quickly to new opportunities, reducing costs, and remaining competitive.
Data Dictionary
A
data dictionary
is a tool for the collection and maintenance
of business and technical definitions that are classified and
cataloged by subject and then related to other definitions for
ease of maintenance and retrieval.
Equally, the data dictionary maintains information about the definitions, including:
- Security information to track creator and modifier
- Version information to track changes to the definition
- Relationship information to understand the description's association with other descriptions of the same or other types.
Metadata
In a data dictionary these definitions are commonly known as "metadata."
Metadata is usually defined as "data about data", because metadata
is itself data, and is used to describe other data or process.
Metadata is generally broken into two categories, Business metadata
and Technical metadata. Business metadata defines your common
business vocabulary; your policies, procedures, and rules. Technical
metadata defines your physical data assets, your information systems
infrastructure; your servers, databases, and reports.
SuperLuminate is Based on Industry Standards
SuperLuminate is based on an industry standard physical architecture (IRDS)
that enables your company to extend the functionality of SuperLuminate by
modifying the out-of-box classification taxonomy and schema (A.K.A. Information Model),
or by adding one or more of your own schemas. All extensions to SuperLuminate
can be accomplished by modifications to the SuperLuminate control data forgoing
any need to physically change the application or physical database.
