This document discusses activating data governance using a data catalog. It compares active vs passive data governance, with active embedding governance into people's work through a catalog. The catalog plays a key role by allowing stewards to document definition, production, and usage of data in a centralized place. For governance to be effective, metadata from various sources must be consolidated and maintained in the catalog.
