CaseTalk:15/Integrations
From CaseTalk Wiki
CaseTalk version 15 integrates with external data governance and catalog platforms for bi-directional metadata exchange.
Data Governance Platforms
| Platform | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Collibra | Import + Export | Exchange glossary terms, business assets, and data definitions with Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud |
| data.world | Import + Export | Push model metadata, pull catalog information, run SPARQL/SQL queries against data.world datasets |
| Microsoft Purview | Export | Push table definitions, column metadata, and data lineage to Microsoft Purview (Azure) for unified data governance |
| DataVault Builder | Export | Push conceptual model to DataVault Builder API for automated Data Vault 2.0 schema generation |
How Integrations Work
CaseTalk integrations connect through REST APIs to exchange metadata between the conceptual model and external platforms. This enables:
- Forward engineering — push validated conceptual models to governance platforms
- Reverse discovery — pull existing catalog metadata into CaseTalk for conceptual modeling
- Synchronization — keep conceptual models aligned with data catalog definitions
- Lineage — trace data definitions from business concepts through to physical implementations
Configuration
Integrations are configured through the Tools → Options menu. Each platform requires:
- API endpoint URL
- Authentication credentials (API key or OAuth)
- Mapping preferences for entity types and naming conventions
