Data Cookbook is our institutional data governance tool. It will be a single repository for business and technical definitions, report specifications and system integration specifications. Once populated, report specifications can be tied to the relevant report in that report's native environment using an API. The result is that the metadata for a report can be at the user's fingertips as they are selecting or running a report, greatly enhancing data literacy and ensuring consumers understand the report's output and intended use cases.
