You can create a data product by adding assets from a catalog in IBM Knowledge Catalog. By using IBM Knowledge Catalog, you can run metadata enrichment on your data assets before you add them to a data product. Metadata enrichment helps add important information and context to data assets, such as assigning business terms, checking data quality, and profiling the data. Such information provides data consumers valuable insight in to the data product contents and quality.
