OpenMetadata DataHub And OpenLineage

Overview

Use this skill when metadata and lineage must be operationalized through open tooling such as OpenMetadata, DataHub, or OpenLineage. It helps agents align producers with catalog expectations, ensure lineage accuracy, and make discovery trustworthy rather than decorative.

When to Use

• integrating metadata platforms into delivery workflows
• improving dataset discovery and trust signals
• capturing and validating lineage across pipelines
• publishing governed datasets into open catalog ecosystems
• connecting OpenLineage events from Spark, Airflow, or dbt to a catalog
• defining metadata governance policies for multi-team environments

Do not use this when the team has no shared catalog requirement or when lineage is handled entirely within a closed platform (e.g., Unity Catalog, Purview) with no open integration needs.
