The two biggest are related: tool complexity and adoption. As mentioned earlier, business users find data catalogs overwhelming if they contain technical metadata and will not use them. They will also not use a data catalog, if they can\u2019t find what they\u2019re looking for, the catalog doesn\u2019t contain tribal knowledge that helps them zero in on what they need, and it doesn\u2019t contain links to related data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This creates a catch-22 situation in which users won\u2019t use a catalog because it doesn\u2019t contain tribal knowledge documented by other users. But users won\u2019t document their tribal knowledge if they don\u2019t use it in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the glue to organizational data, it\u2019s imperative that data catalogs are integrated with other applications, including other data catalogs, data observability tools, office automation tools, and so on. This makes a data catalog the hub of data management activity. <\/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>\u201cGetting adoption for a data catalog is a \u2026 catch-22 scenario.\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\/8UtGppMtxoQ<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"videoem\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8UtGppMtxoQ?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><\/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 class=\"entry-content\">\n\t<div style=\" z-index: 2\" class=\"simplesub wow zoomIn bgorange b80w notoppover footunder cignore singleyes\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"textblockwrap\">\n\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\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cfigure bgnone\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Figure 5.
