Who should use the Manage metadata Workflow Blueprint workflow?
Teams or solo builders working on data tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.

Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Atlan to complete inventory of metadata sources with classification and quality baseline. Then, you pass the output to Notion AI 3.0 to approved metadata governance policy with clear standards and ownership. Then, you pass the output to Atlan to central metadata repository populated with enriched, lineage-linked metadata. Then, you pass the output to Soda AI to metadata quality issues identified, assigned, and partially resolved. Then, you pass the output to Atlan to live, searchable metadata documentation available to all stakeholders. Finally, Process Street is used to full audit trail of metadata changes with proactive alerting.
Inventory and Classify Metadata Sources
Complete inventory of metadata sources with classification and quality baseline.
Define Metadata Standards and Governance Rules
Approved metadata governance policy with clear standards and ownership.
Ingest and Enrich Metadata Automatically
Central metadata repository populated with enriched, lineage-linked metadata.
Validate and Cleanse Metadata
Metadata quality issues identified, assigned, and partially resolved.
Publish and Maintain Metadata Documentation
Live, searchable metadata documentation available to all stakeholders.
Monitor and Audit Metadata Changes
Full audit trail of metadata changes with proactive alerting.
Identify all systems and datasets where metadata resides (databases, data lakes, file systems, APIs). Classify each source by type (technical, business, operational) and criticality to prioritize cleanup efforts.
Why Atlan: Atlan is a dedicated data cataloging and governance platform, directly matching the need for inventorying and classifying metadata sources.
Establish naming conventions, required fields, allowed values, and ownership rules for metadata. Document these standards in a central policy and communicate them to all data stakeholders.
Why Notion AI 3.0: Notion AI 3.0 is a governance documentation platform that can be used to define and document metadata standards and rules.
Use automated connectors to extract metadata from source systems into a central metadata repository. Enrich raw metadata with business context (descriptions, tags, lineage) via rules or manual input.
Why Atlan: Atlan is a data cataloging tool that can ingest and enrich metadata automatically from various sources.
Run automated validation checks against the governance rules (e.g., missing fields, naming violations). Flag issues and trigger correction workflows for data stewards to fix inconsistencies.
Why Soda AI: Soda AI is a dedicated data quality monitoring tool with anomaly detection and data contract enforcement, ideal for validating and cleansing metadata.
Make metadata accessible to end users via a searchable catalog or data dictionary. Set up periodic reviews (e.g., quarterly) to update metadata as schemas or business definitions change.
Why Atlan: Atlan is a data catalog platform specifically designed for publishing and maintaining metadata documentation.
Track changes to metadata over time (who changed what and when) to ensure accountability. Set up alerts for unauthorized or unexpected modifications.
Why Process Street: Process Street automates business processes and delivers audit-ready proof, suitable for monitoring and auditing metadata changes.
§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on data tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
