Open Metadata Archives

The open metadata archives provide pre-canned content (open metadata types and instances) to load into an open metadata repository.

There are three basic use cases:

1) Load canned content from standards organizations or other suppliers

Supported utilities for open metadata archives

Egeria supports the following open metadata archives. Associated with each archive are utilities that help you build additional archives of your own content.

  • Content Pack Helpers provide common functions for building archives based on the open metadata types.

  • Open Metadata Types - the Egeria Open Metadata Type Definitions. This archive is always loaded by each OMAG metadata repository server at start-up. This is to reduce the chance that new types developed by a third party have names that conflict with the open metadata types. There is also a utility to create the archive file for these open metadata types. The find out more about the Open Metadata Types click here.

  • Core Content Pack - provides utilities for building the open metadata archives containing reference information information about one or more connectors that follow the Open Connector Framework (OCF).

  • Design Model Archives - provides utilities to manage common/standard model content from third parties.
