The license agreement for Collibra, the university’s data catalog tool, expires on December 22.
The current license agreement with Collibra expires on Thursday, December 22, and the system will be inaccessible beginning this date. The Data Governance team is currently exploring options to support the university’s data governance needs, though a final solution will not be announced until sometime in 2023. In the meantime, all data currently stored within Collibra will be preserved for the next tool. Additionally, users can continue to submit metadata via ServiceNow or by contacting the team at datagovernance@osu.edu and they will hold onto it until a new tool is selected.
Once a vendor has been selected to host the data catalog, an announcement will be made. Users can reach to datagovernance@osu.edu with any questions.

We use words like “student” and “employee” every day, but did you know that we don’t have standard definitions for these terms across the university and medical center? The Ohio State Data Governance team has launched a new initiative to standardize institutional definitions to increase clarity and accuracy in data reporting and analysis. As part of this effort, a team is facilitating the development of working groups, consisting of subject matter experts and data stewards, from across the university and medical center.

In December 2019, the Enterprise Project, in coordination with Wexner Medical Center, Advancement, and other key data intensive units, purchased Collibra. The Collibra application helps to support Ohio State's understanding of data assets and rules via capabilities within data cataloging and data governance.
Collibra will act as a business glossary, data catalog and data dictionary, replacing earlier data cataloging tools Data Cookbook and Wexner Medical Center’s IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog.
