## Data Collaboration - Tasks and Emojis
Data Collaboration has been the prime focus of the 0.11 Release, the groundwork for which has been laid in the past
several releases. In the 0.9 release, we introduced Activity Feeds, Conversation Threads, and the ability to request
descriptions. In this release, weve added Tasks, as an extension to the ability to create conversations and post
replies. We are particularly excited about the ability to suggest tasks. This brings the collaboration to the next level
where an organization can crowdsource the knowledge and continuously improve descriptions.
## Column Level Lineage [#2931](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/issues/2931)
In OpenMetadata, we primarily compute column-level lineage through SQL query analysis. Lineage information is
consolidated from various sources, such as ETL pipelines, DBT, query analysis, and so on. In the backend, weve added
column-level lineage API support. The UI now supports exploring this rich column-level lineage for understanding the
relationship between tables and performing impact analysis. While exploring the lineage, users can manually edit both
the table and column level lineage to capture any information that is not automatically surfaced.
## Custom Properties
The key goal of the OpenMetadata project is to define Open Metadata Standards to make metadata centralized, easily
shareable, and make tool interoperability easier. We take a schema-first approach for strongly typed metadata types and
entities modeled using JSON schema as follows:
OpenMetadata now supports adding new types and extending entities when organizations need to capture custom metadata.
New types and custom fields can be added to entities either using API or in OpenMetadata UI. This extensibility is based
on JSON schema and hence has all the benefits of strong typing, rich constraints, documentation, and automatic
validation similar to the core OpenMetadata schemas.
## Advanced Search
Users can search by multiple parameters to narrow down the search results. Separate advanced search options are
available for Tables, Topics, Dashboards, Pipelines, and ML Models. All these entities are searchable by common search
options such as Owner, Tag, and Service.
## Glossary UI Updates
The Glossary UI has been upgraded. However, the existing glossary functionality remains the same, with the ability to
add Glossary, Terms, Tags, Descriptions, Reviewers etc...
On the UI, the arrangement displaying the Summary, Related Terms, Synonyms, and References has been changed. The
Reviewers are shown on the right panel with an option to add or remove existing reviewers.
## Profiler and Data Quality Improvements
Profiling data and communicating quality across the organization is core to OpenMetadata. While numerous tools exist,
they are often isolated and require users to navigate multiple interfaces. In OpenMetadata, these tests and data
profiles are displayed alongside your assets (tables, views) and allow you to get a 360-degree view of your data.
## Great Expectations Integration
While OpenMetadata allows you to set up and run data quality tests directly from the UI, we understand certain
organizations already have their own data quality tool. Thats why we have developed a direct integration between Great
Expectations and OpenMetadata. Using our `openmetadata-ingestion[great-expectations]` python submodule, you can now add
custom actions to your Great Expectations checkpoints file that will automatically ingest your data quality test results
into OpenMetadata at the end of your checkpoint file run.
## ML Models
In this release, we are happy to share the addition of ML Model Entities to the UI. This will allow users to describe,
and share models and their features as any other data asset. The UI support also includes the ingestion through the UI
from [MLflow](https://mlflow.org/). In future releases, we will add connectors to other popular ML platforms. This is
just the beginning. We want to learn about the use cases from the community and connect with people that want to help us
shape the vision and roadmap. Do not hesitate to reach out!
## Connectors
In every release, OpenMetadata has maintained its focus on adding new connectors. In the 0.11 release, five new
connectors have been added - [Airbyte](https://airbyte.com/), [Mode](https://mode.com/),
[AWS Data Lake](https://aws.amazon.com/big-data/datalakes-and-analytics/what-is-a-data-lake/),
[Google Cloud Data Lake](https://cloud.google.com/learn/what-is-a-data-lake#section-6),
and [Apache Pinot](https://pinot.apache.org/).
