Amazon SageMaker Catalog introduces column-level metadata forms and rich descriptions

Amazon SageMaker Catalog Updates

Amazon SageMaker Catalog now supports custom metadata forms and rich text descriptions at the column level, enhancing data curation capabilities for business names, descriptions, and glossary term classifications. Data stewards can create custom metadata forms to capture business-specific information directly on individual columns. Columns also support markdown-enabled rich text descriptions for comprehensive data documentation and business context. Custom metadata form field values and rich text content are indexed in real-time and become immediately discoverable through search.

This enhancement enables organizations to curate columns with comprehensive business context using customer-defined metadata schemas and formatted documentation. Asset owners can define custom key-value metadata forms and rich text descriptions to provide detailed column documentation that improves data discovery across enterprise teams. Data analysts can search using custom form field values and rich text content alongside existing column names, descriptions, and glossary terms.

What to do

• Create custom metadata forms for business-specific information on individual columns.
• Use markdown-enabled rich text descriptions for comprehensive data documentation.
• Search using custom form field values and rich text content.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker is supported.
