[OpenMetadata](https://open-metadata.org/) is an Open standard for metadata with a centralized metadata store that unifies all the data assets and metadata end-to-end to power data discovery, user collaboration, and tool interoperability.
- **Metadata schemas** - defines core abstractions and vocabulary for metadata with schemas for Types, Entities, Relationships between entities. This is the foundation of the Open Metadata Standard.
- **Ingestion framework** - a pluggable framework for integrating tools and ingesting metadata to the metadata store. Ingestion framework already supports well know data warehouses - Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, and Apache Hive, and databases - MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and MSSQL.
For more details on running OpenMetadata on your local machine or in production, see our [Install Doc](https://docs.open-metadata.org/install/run-openmetadata).
