# Practitioner

Contribute and maintain metadata

For the people accountable for data assets: adding and maintaining metadata, tests and contracts.

## What you will be able to do

*   ✓Enrich and maintain metadata at scale using automations rather than manual edits
*   ✓Apply classification and sensitivity tags consistently across domains
*   ✓Build scoped, scheduled automations that maintain metadata without manual edits
*   ✓Improve the discoverability of the assets you own
*   ✓Build and monitor data quality tests that catch issues before consumers do
*   ✓Package related assets into data products with clear ownership
*   ✓Design governance workflows that match how your organization approves things
*   ✓Write a data contract that turns a consumer assumption into an enforceable term
