Abstract :
We present a vision of a technology and domain agnostic service that will store metadata that describes properties of the diverse data sets in an enterprise (or across several enterprises), and spread among heterogenous stores, such as relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL or NewSQL cloud storage platforms, etc. The Metadata-as-a-Service will allow search over the metadata, so users and applications can find useful data sets, whether those are raw data or derived data. We make a preliminary proposal for the high-level architecture and API of such a service.
