Guided Stewardship operating model

The Guided Stewardship operating model defines the structure of the information in Catalog. For this reason, the Guided Stewardship operating model is sometimes also referred to as the Catalog operating model.

Three data layers

The full operating model consists of 3 data layers, representing the different structural data layers in typical organizations:

• The conceptual data layer represents the overarching structure of objects and elements in your data landscape.
• The logical data layer represents the context-dependent data structures in your organization.
• The physical data layer represents the actual data in your data environment.

The following image shows all relevant asset types, per data layer, and the relationships that bind them together in Collibra.

Note Database and System assets are Technology assets that represent the highest level over physical data and logical data organization.
