Ab Initio Semantic Discovery is a data discovery solution offered as part of Ab Initio’s broader data management platform.
Semantic Discovery has several qualities that recommend it. It provides a number of different metrics for discovering your data, which can be combined to help minimise false positives. The existence of the investigate and recommend categories provides nuance, allowing the product to request human intervention when appropriate. Investigate, in particular, can act as a way to identify undocumented business terms.
