Rakuten operates more than 70 services across 30-plus countries and over 2.1 billion users, including e-commerce, fintech, mobile, and media. Underneath it all: catalogs scattered across Excel files, Confluence pages, and homegrown web apps, one per engineering team.

We are announcing that our next Community Meetup will be Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 9:00 AM PT. We will be hearing from both the community and the latest from OpenMetadata's Maintainers, Collate, as we shift towards 2.1, with a preview of what’s to come, in addition to the wonderful Ontology Studio we showcased at our last meetup. A guest speaker will be featured once their participation is confirmed and they are prepared to address the broader community. More information will be provided as we get closer to the date, so stay tuned! Q&A at the end, as always! Register now: https://buff.ly/S7X4xnX #OpenMetadata #ContextPlatform #AIforData #OpenSource

OpenMetadata 2.0 is here: the Open Context Layer for AI agents. An agent is only as reliable as the context it's built on. OpenMetadata 2.0 gives people and agents the three primitives needed for working with enterprise data: Context (what data exists), Ontology (what it means), and Memory (learnings that persist). Select release highlights in OpenMetadata 2.0: - Context Center with Memory - One home for articles, documents, memories, and integrated knowledge from Confluence and Google Drive - Persona-Based Context Curation - Curate what each persona receives for better results and reduced token consumption - Context API/MCP Tooling - Quickly retrieve the related context for a data asset or a persona in a single call for better performance - Data Marketplace - Drive trusted data discovery and self-service with business Domains and Data Products - Enhanced Knowledge Graph - Technical metadata connected to business definitions, ownership, policies, lineage, and quality in one navigable graph Open source and built on open standards: DCAT, OWL, RDF, SKOS, PROV-O, and more. Collate's managed OpenMetadata 2.0 service is also now available and includes additional enterprise and AI capabilities, including AI Analytics, Shared Chats, AI Studio, AI Automations, Reverse Metadata, Admin Analytics, and AI Governance Studio.

Collate Summit ’26 is June 10. Free. Virtual. Airbus, AO, Rakuten, Scout24 SE, and UnionBank of the Philippines will share their experiences in scaling and governing production AI agents and data analytics. Ingestion at scale. Lineage across complex pipelines. Governance workflows built across the organization. What worked and what didn’t. Production deployments from teams who’ve done it.

The data infrastructure powering tomorrow's AI needs to be open. We're making that commitment official. Collate, the company behind the open source OpenMetadata project, has joined the Linux Foundation as a Silver Member. Here's why it matters: AI doesn't fail because models are weak. It fails because the metadata underneath is siloed, inconsistent, and proprietary. When there's no shared semantic layer, AI hallucinates, misreads data, and turns governance gaps into compliance risks. The fix has to be vendor-neutral and community-built — the same way the best data infrastructure always has been. Alongside 1,000+ member organizations, we'll work to define open standards for semantic metadata so the AI operating on your data can do it reliably, across any platform, at enterprise scale. OpenMetadata already provides that shared context. Our AI SDK and MCP support extend it into agents and developer platforms. Joining the The Linux Foundation is about ensuring the standard underpinning stays open. → Read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/gy_RRDFd #OpenMetadata #SemanticIntelligence #DataGovernance #AIReadiness #LinuxFoundation

Please join us next Wednesday, 3/25 @ 9 AM PST, for the OpenMetadata Monthly Community Meeting as we present "**Knowledge Graphs & Ontologies in OpenMetadata**". Join us as we introduce new semantic web standards for linked metadata and knowledge graphs. Additionally, look out for a demo of MCP Toolbox, an open-source MCP server for databases developed by Google, and how it can be combined with OpenMetadata to build more effective agents for services like Looker. https://lnkd.in/dMXU3z-q
