TopQuadrant™ recently notified Dataversity about the release of their new version 5.2 of TopBraid Suite, a collection of web-based solutions for data governance and vocabulary management. This update includes support for business glossaries, reference data, metadata management, data policy and lineage models as well as other business, technical and operational metadata.

“This release of TopBraid delivers our most comprehensive data governance solution to date,” said Irene Polikoff, CEO and co-founder of TopQuadrant. “It provides the scope of support for integrated data governance connecting business, technical and operational assets that are driven by market demands and has already proved its value in the early use of TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance (or EDG) by key customers, including two major financial services organizations. Too often data governance solutions are limited in scope and can’t connect all of your data sources. They use standalone tools that create yet another data or metadata silo. TopBraid EDG uses a non-proprietary, graph-standards-based, model-driven approach to capturing the meaning of data, which we call semantic information management. This approach is flexible and interoperable and can adapt to changes in the data, metadata and business needs of the organization.”

TopBraid EDG provides users with an agile solution to govern and connect a broad set of critical business assets. Recognizing that organizations may require different starting points, TopQuadrant allows users to take an incremental approach by offering packages.
