Explains the kinds of metadata sources
Tool repositories (modelling, data integration, BI, data quality, mapping), DBMS catalogues and data dictionaries, business glossaries, reference data repositories, service registries, event messaging and configuration management tools, each holding part of the metadata.
Can AI do this?
People still lead Few or none of the tested AI models showed they master this. 0 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 58% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 49% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 58% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 58% | Not shown |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: Tool repositories (modelling, data integration, BI, data quality, mapping), DBMS catalogues and data dictionaries, business glossaries, reference data repositories, service registries, event messaging and configuration management tools, each holding part of the metadata.
