Five layers. One governed flow. No shortcuts.
How the metadata-first principle materialises inside the technical platform. Business never accesses Delta. Data enters through Landing and only reaches the domain after governance, quality and authorisation.
Three planes. Each with its own technical responsibility.
The DAMA house: governance defines the rules, the platform runs the data lifecycle, exploitation activates the value. That clear separation lets each plane evolve without breaking the others.
A complete model. Not separate pieces.
DATUM covers the complete data cycle — from strategy to data products — in an integrated, governed and secure-by-design model.
Metadata does not document. It governs.
Five layers. One ascending flow.
Data enters through Landing and only reaches the business after governance, quality and authorisation. Each layer with its purpose, no shortcuts.
Publication via Snowflake or Databricks SQL Warehouse — depending on the client environment.
Seven steps. Always the same ones.
The pipeline isn't written — it's born from metadata. Each step runs only if the previous one fulfils the contract. Zero manual steps.
Owner · meaning · rules. Before touching any technology.
DB · files · API · Confluent streaming. Idempotent.
Faithful copy. Base for reprocessing and audit.
OK flows · WARNING logged · ERROR blocks.
Corporate semantics. Decoupled from the source.
One KPI defined once. No parallel logic.
Snowflake or Databricks SQL. Each domain sees only its data.
OK flows. WARNING is logged. ERROR blocks.
Three states. Deterministic behaviour.
No grey area. Each record receives one of three labels and the platform always acts the same way. Quality isn't 'supervised' — it's enforced.
Data flows to the next layer without intervention.
The incident is logged and the owner is notified. Data continues.
Data is blocked. Doesn't move forward until the owner resolves.

The how materializes into architecture, operating framework and deployment plan.
A specific profile, a real question.
Sabemos que el metadato es la pieza clave: gobierna calidad, linaje, accesos y costes. El problema es que lo que nos venden son catálogos pasivos. Documentamos, sí, pero la operación sigue dependiendo del conocimiento de las personas.
DataOps gobernado con metadato activo: orquestación determinista, observabilidad continua y cero dependencia de personas clave para entender qué pasó con un dato.
