OpenMetadata alternatives
Curated alternatives to OpenMetadata — and why you'd switch.
neocarta
Neo4j Labs' semantic layer for data agents: ingest warehouse schema, business glossary, metrics and query history into one graph, then serve it over MCP so agents route queries and write grounded SQL.
Why switchOpenMetadata does the catalog-as-agent-context move at platform scale: 130+ connectors, lineage, ownership, quality and contracts in one graph served over MCP. Neocarta is a small focused library for the query-routing and Text2SQL slice — much less to run, much less covered.

Turns Databricks Unity Catalog tables into a materialized knowledge graph: OWL ontology design, R2RML mapping, OWL 2 RL/SWRL/SHACL reasoning, auto-generated GraphQL — exposed to agents over MCP.
Why switchGoverned context for agents from enterprise data: OntoBricks reasons over Unity Catalog with OWL inside Databricks; OpenMetadata graphs metadata across 130+ systems without the reasoning layer.
Full comparison →semantica
Graph-native context infrastructure for accountable AI: ingest enterprise data, extract a knowledge/context graph (RDF + LPG), run graph analytics and causal reasoning with decision provenance.
Why switchEnterprise context layers for AI: OpenMetadata catalogs what data IS across 130+ systems; Semantica reasons over what it MEANS with provenance and causality. Catalog-first vs reasoning-first.
