AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
An analytics team stores transactional data in Amazon S3 and queries it with Amazon Athena. To improve governance they plan to enrich the AWS Glue Data Catalog with additional metadata that will later be surfaced in a business glossary. Which of the following pieces of information should be recorded as business metadata rather than technical or operational metadata?
The column data types detected by the AWS Glue crawler
The department that owns the dataset and is responsible for its data quality
The timestamp of the most recent successful crawler run for the table
The average Parquet file size stored in the table's S3 prefix
Business metadata describes the data from a business-oriented perspective and typically includes information such as data owner, steward, business definitions, or sensitivity classification. Recording the department that owns the dataset fits this category. Column data types and file sizes are technical metadata because they describe the physical structure and storage characteristics. The timestamp of the last crawler run is operational metadata that reflects system activity, not business context.
