Data Catalog
The Sybase Data Federation data catalog is the shared, hierarchical directory where data owners and administrators can register their data sources, files, queries, and data integration services, and set access control and other policies. The data catalog is distributed and can scale across an enterprise. By interconnecting Data Federation domains, administrators can create data catalogs that span multiple enterprises while maintaining strict access control policies.
Database Tools
You will use Sybase Data Federation tools to work with data stored in relational databases. These tools allow you to provision data into the data catalog and set access controls; and to integrate, combine, and transform data into the formats required by your users and applications.
WorkSpace Data Federation
WorkSpace Data Federation provides tools for several purposes: building and deploying data services to combine and transform relational data; defining sources of data to be used in data services; validating and enforcing schemas; and managing the data catalog.
