Automate
OvalEdge automates foundational curation tasks like:
- Lineage generation: Automatically builds data flow diagrams across systems using proprietary algorithms.
- PII detection & classification: Identifies sensitive information like personal identifiers and tags them for governance use.
- Auto-classification: Applies business categories based on naming patterns, domains, and usage behavior.
Prioritize
Not all data needs curation. OvalEdge helps you focus on what’s critical first. With built-in analytics, you can prioritize curation efforts based on:
- Popularity score: How often a dataset is used
- Importance score: Its relevance to business processes
- Actual consumption: Usage tracked across systems
Delegate
OvalEdge makes delegation easier with:
- Research-driven steward assignment: Match the right person to the right dataset—even within a single schema
- Collaborative delegation: Reassign tasks, share workload, and track progress seamlessly
- Automated suggestions: Recommend stewards based on asset ownership, domain knowledge, and past curation behavior
Contextualize

OvalEdge helps teams enrich metadata with business definitions, logic, and commentary using:
- AI-powered question wall: Guides stewards through contextual curation by asking structured, easy-to-answer questions
- Escalation to SMEs: If a steward doesn’t know the answer, they can route the question to a subject matter expert
- Built-in collaboration: Add glossary terms, descriptions, and usage notes directly into the catalog
