Data inventory and publishing

This section describes the tasks and procedures that you want to perform in order to create an inventory of your data in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and to publish your data in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio.

In order to use Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio to catalog your data, you must first bring your data (assets) as inventory of your project in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. Creating inventory for a particular project makes the assets discoverable only to that project’s members. Project inventory assets are not available to all domain users in search/browse unless explicitly published. After creating a project inventory, data owners can curate their inventory assets with the required business metadata by adding or updating business names (asset and schema), descriptions (asset and schema), README, glossary terms (asset and schema), and metadata forms.

The next step of using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio to catalog your data is to make your project’s inventory assets discoverable by the domain users. You can do this by publishing the inventory assets to the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio catalog. Only the latest version of the inventory asset can be published to the catalog and only the latest published version is active in the discovery catalog. If an inventory asset is updated after it's been published into the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio catalog, you must explicitly publish it again in order for the latest version to be in the discovery catalog.
