setting-up-data-catalog

Populates and maintains a project's data catalog (semantic layer): canonical metrics, trust marks (certifications) on warehouse tables/views, and reviewed table relationships. Use when asked to set up / seed / bootstrap the data catalog or semantic layer, to catalog a project's metrics, to certify or deprecate data sources, to propose or review table joins, or to work through the proposal review queue. To *use* an existing catalog to answer a business-number question, see querying-posthog-data instead. Trigger terms: data catalog, semantic layer, canonical metric, certify table, deprecate source, relationship proposal, metric drift, review queue.
