Hi all, do you of a solution to write free text on the catalog under a data input about like where the data is coming and when it as been uploaded on the project and by who? Typically, I want the information to show on the kedro viz.

Can you elaborate a bit more? Is there some kind of process around this?

We want to document the metadata (like provenance, snapshot dates, author.. ) of our data artifacts, and we think the data catalog is a good place for capturing such info. It's purely for documentation reasons and we want to be able to see it in kedro viz

https://docs.kedro.org/projects/kedro-viz/en/v11.0.1/preview_datasets.html#preview-datasets-in-kedro-viz So these are the dataset that you can directly visualise on kedro-viz at the moment. As long as you capture those data somewhere (maybe as a JSON, or a pandas dataframe if the schema is constant)
d
as I got it it should be like for every dataset, like additional info with metadata?
c
@Dmitry Sorokin yes exactly

I think it's currently not possible, what do you think @Rashida Kanchwala, @Jitendra Gundaniya is it make sense to add that functionality?

I don’t think Kedro-Viz supports showing free-text metadata from the catalog today. @Chekeb Panschiri could you open a feature request in the Kedro-Viz GitHub repo? We can discuss the approach there and decide. Thanks.

Few thoughts: • Potentially Kedro-viz can support showing free-text metadata, but this alone is not enough to support this. • Where is the metadata get saved? to use
metadata
field then you need a plugin that manage these metadata somewhere. For example, if someone upload new data, how it this even tracked?

@Jitendra Gundaniya I can open one of course. Thanks !
