Data Cookbook
Metadata Software
A key component of data governance is an enterprise source of metadata. Purdue University utilizes Data Cookbook, a software designed for higher education. Data Cookbook is Purdue’s enterprise source of data definitions, standard reports, and dashboards. This centralized resource allows the university to discuss, agree upon, document, and share definitions and report specifications.
Data Cookbook is available to all members of the Purdue community who have a Purdue login. End users can search the system using everyday language. Reports and dashboards are documented as specifications and contain the business purpose, data items, owner and data sources.
