Managing Data Catalog
Writes and curates business metadata in an AWS data catalog: the Amazon SageMaker Catalog (Amazon DataZone), or the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Detects which catalog platform an account uses before writing. Triggers on: add a description to a table, document a dataset, write a README, set an owner, add column comments, tag with a glossary term, create a business glossary, create a metadata form, publish an asset, create a data product, run the data source crawl, delete a catalog asset, attach a conventions document to a table as a catalog skill asset, which assets in my project are missing descriptions or owners and what to fix first, which catalog does this account use and what can I do with it. Not for: inventorying or listing tables (use exploring-data-catalog), locating one table (use finding-data-lake-assets), counting gaps domain-wide with SQL over the exported metadata snapshot (use querying-aws-sagemaker-catalog), or granting or revoking access (use managing-data-asset-access)

The write path for catalog business metadata. Take a dataset from catalogued and undocumented to documented, classified and discoverable. And retire one without breaking the catalog.
