I find that in our space the terms data catalog, data governance and data definitions can be dirty terms. I challenge any data professional to not say that these are at best after thoughts in a stack. Normally technologies that govern these areas of businesses data architecture are the unsexy ones, and there are good reasons for this. It is not fun to try and get multiple people in the room and get them to agree on any given metric. As my current boss is and has been fond of saying, "You get 3 people in the room to define how we measure a sale I will give you 3 completely different and yet valid answers". This is the core of the problem with Data governance, Catalogs and Definitions... no one can agree, and the result of this is engineers either ignore it... or put it on the back burner because its going to be an awful experience
