Collibra clients

To support multiple client types, the client side is separated from the back-end side. The back-end web application layer provides a public API for Java and REST.

This means that the out-of-the-box clients communicate with the backend through the same API as custom-written applications would. This way, the full power of Collibra is available to any external application.

The following clients are delivered out of the box:

• Collibra Web Interface: This is the standard way to interact with Collibra. It connects with the REST API over HTTP(S). Almost all functions that are supported by the server application can be accessed from the web interface. The web interface is supported by the usual web browsers.

• Collibra Everywhere: Purpose-built applications that allow you to access your organization's trusted, governed data wherever they happen to be working.
