First, it\u2019s imperative to start small with a well-defined use case and set of target users. To improve chances of success, meet with the users to understand their requirements for data and metadata. Armed with this knowledge, you can apply your resources to effectively deliver content that will convince skeptical users that a data catalog is an invaluable business resource.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Second, it\u2019s imperative to curate the content so users trust the output. Assign one or more data stewards to review, classify, and certify the content so it delivers quality information to business users. As part of this process, the data stewards should apply controls that determine which users can see which parts of the content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Third, gamify the data catalog. Set targets for adoption and award prizes to individuals who access and consume the most content. Then publicize the results along with success stories of how the data catalog helped business users improve the way they work with data.\u00a0 Finally, measure and learn from results, adapt, and implement a new use case with a different set of target users, applying lessons learned. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sub\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p> \u201cGamify the data catalog: set targets for adoption and award prizes to individuals who access and consume the most content.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vidimg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"iframelink\">youtu.be\/XCGLtcPNvng<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"videoem\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XCGLtcPNvng?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txtlnk\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Best Practices for Next-Generation Data Catalogs<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\n\n<div id=\"figure\" class=\"entry-content\">\n<div style=\" z-index: 2\" class=\"figure wow fadeIn bgorange b80w notoppover footover\" data-wow-delay=\"0.4s\">\n\t\t<h2>Figure 8.
