Aristotle Metadata Registry
What it is
Aristotle Metadata Registry is a browser-based system for recording and governing business knowledge about data in a searchable central registry. It supports data dictionaries, code lists, business glossaries, vocabularies, performance indicators, and classifications. Search can match definitions, codes, and links, with spelling suggestions, filters, and facets. Rich-text editors include spell-checking, linked definitions, and creation wizards that identify similar content. Teams can track issues, peer review metadata, review a complete audit trail, and run automated checks against configured quality rules. Configurable workflows record endorsement decisions and control publication permissions through business rules. Documented APIs connect data systems, and custom integration services are available. The maker describes AWS-based cloud hosting with a 99.9% uptime guarantee and deployment within one day. All subscriptions include Standard Cloud hosting; Secure and Protected Cloud add network and infrastructure isolation. Hosting regions vary by option. Plans specify author and collaboration user licences, while Micro and Mini set storage limits of 20,000 and 50,000 metadata items. Paid plans are listed from $3 a month.
