MAAS (Metadata as a Service)

MAAS (Metadata as a Service) is a cloud-based platform that manages and provides access to metadata—detailed information about data—across various systems. It enables organizations to organize, retrieve, and govern data-related details such as data sources, structures, and usage policies efficiently. By centralizing metadata management, MAAS helps improve data discovery, consistency, and compliance, making it easier for data teams to understand and utilize their data assets effectively. Essentially, it acts as a centralized "library" of data information, facilitating smoother data operations and decision-making processes.
