SpagoBI Meta is the new SpagoBI module, specifically focused on metadata management and inquiry. The platform manages
technical and business metadata, allowing the user to edit and import them from external tools such as ETL.
Business metadata enable the user to know more about the data under evaluation. Technical metadata allow the administrator to know where the data are taken from, to provide automatic documentation or to make impact analyses. SpagoBI Meta is also the basic component for
federated inquiry.
The module offers a tool supporting the database reverse engineering process, through which users can define
simple and complex objects, to be used within the platform by analysis tools. This module also enriches the knowledge base of
SpagoBI Server metadata, so that they can easily be enquired through the already available tools, such as reports, OLAP and QbE.
