TopQuadrant, a provider of data governance solutions using knowledge graph technologies, was named in 2021 Gartner Market Guide for Active Metadata Management.According to Gartner, “active metadata management is an emerging set of capabilities across multiple data management markets resulting from continuous metadata management innovation.”
Gartner recommends that “data and analytics leaders investing in data management solutions must begin replacing or augmenting systems that share only their design-based metadata with those demonstrating active metadata capabilities. Identify tools and platforms that can export their own metadata and import `foreign’ metadata relative to existing metadata, processing instructions and optimization strategies.”

“We are thrilled to be acknowledged as a representative vendor in the 2021 Market Guide for Active Metadata Management by Gartner,” said Irene Polikoff, CEO and co-founder of TopQuadrant. “In our opinion, the report reflects several market drivers that play to TopQuadrant’s unique strengths including the need for semantic formalism, taxonomic resolution, openness, broad comprehension of data management for less technical leaders and the ability to accommodate the ever-increasing types of data assets and metadata. This further validates that TopQuadrant is a leader in the expanding metadata management software market which Gartner states grew at a rate of 22.1%, reaching $1.26 billion.”
As a metadata management solution, TopQuadrant’s TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance (TopBraid EDG) collects metadata from all data integration environments, creating a Knowledge Graph that provides the visibility, control and intelligence needed to manage change, build connections across metadata silos, reduce errors and ensure data consistency.
