The case for a common metadata layer for machine learning platforms

Data Engineering and Architecture

Secondary topics: Data quality, data governance and data lineage

Max Neunhöffer (ArangoDB), Joerg Schad (ArangoDB)

Machine learning platforms are becoming more complex, with different components each producing their own metadata and their own way of storing metadata. Max Neunhöffer and Joerg Schad propose a first draft of a common metadata API and demonstrate a first implementation of this API in Kubeflow using ArangoDB, a native multimodel database. Read more.
