About Collibra 5.1
Key features of Collibra 5.1 include:
Interactive Data Lineage: The first-of-its-kind Collibra 5.1 interactive data lineage capabilities enable true data lineage exploration – going way beyond normal data diagrams. Collibra 5.1 enables data citizens to visually explore everything about their data, including business terms, policies, issues, relationships and direction. It features a rich visual environment that delivers beautiful and easily understood views of data. This makes it easier for any user to find the enterprise data with the right characteristics for analysis. Even business users with less knowledge of the data can easily use the interactive lineage explorer to find, understand and trust their data.
- Complete control of groupings, subgroups and levels of expansion
- Add and remove relationship types, or directional (upstream/downstream) relationships to and from the view.
- Overlay any attribute, metric, or KPI.
- Develop views on the fly or chose them from a library, and share them with colleagues on the system.
- Edit attributes, assets and relationships right from the diagram.

Collibra 5.1 offers automated data profiling and displays all the important characteristics of the data in easy-to-use tables and graphs.

Tagging: Further strengthening the Collibra approach to crowd-sourced metadata, Collibra 5.1 features on-the-fly tagging capabilities that leverage the power of large numbers of data citizens to enrich the information available for data sets:
- Tags can be filtered and stored in a view definition to make data collections easier to find.
