Amazon SageMaker Catalog enforces metadata rules for glossary terms for asset publishing

Amazon SageMaker Catalog Updates

Amazon SageMaker Catalog now supports metadata enforcement rules for glossary terms, requiring data producers to apply approved business vocabulary when publishing assets. This helps consistent data classification and improves discoverability across organizational catalogs.

Administrators can define mandatory glossary term requirements for data assets during the publishing workflow. Data producers must classify their assets with approved business terms from organizational glossaries before publication, ensuring consistent metadata standards and improving data discoverability. The enforcement rules validate that required glossary terms are applied, preventing assets from being published without proper business context.

By standardizing metadata and aligning technical data schemas with business language, this capability enhances data governance, improves search relevance, and helps business users more easily understand and trust published data assets.

What to do

• Visit the Amazon SageMaker console and navigate to the Catalog governance section to configure glossary term enforcement policies.
• Use the AWS CLI or SDKs to programmatically manage metadata rules for asset publishing.
