Release Date: October 3, 2024
This release offers an improved metadata experience. Before, you would have to create separate objects based on your data (single table or multi table). Now, we offer a single, streamlined Metadata object for you to use anywhere in SDV.
Metadata is crucial part of using SDV.
What is metadata? Metadata is a description of your dataset. This includes the names of your tables and columns, the type of data in each column, and relationships between tables. You can start by auto-detecting metadata based on your data or database.
Why is metadata important? All SDV synthesizers use metadata as the source-of-truth, especially if there are any ambiguities. (For example, should SDV treat a value like “94117” as a number, a category, or a postal code?) We strongly encourage you to inspect and update your metadata to be accurate – a little investment in metadata can go a long way in creating high quality synthetic data!
