Quick Start Guides

TopQuadrant’s TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance™ (EDG) supports integrated data governance across the ever growing numbers and types of data assets and governance needs. 
It lets you capture business glossaries, data sources, conceptual models or ontologies, reference data, business applications, policies and more. 
Further, it lets you build relationships across all of these items – because connections are key to data governance.

The following Getting Started Guides for our most popular packages are a good way to begin an evaluation or learn the basics of working with EDG.
