GRAU DATA is partnering with KNIME to enable simple and intuitive metadata analysis at scale
2026-05-13 09:36
With GRAU DATA’s Metadata Hub, users can explore, search, find, sort, filter, and group unstructured metadata from files. The upcoming KNIME integration will ensure that all these features are accessible via KNIME’s intuitive no-code/low-code interface. This enables users with diverse backgrounds and levels of expertise to access GRAU DATA’s powerful capabilities and perform metadata exploration at the highest level. Thanks to KNIME’s end-to-end platform, users can operationalize their analyses by using KNIME to train, validate, and deploy their solutions in the form of reports, data apps, or REST APIs.
The GRAU DATA Metadata Hub makes it possible to discover and utilize thousands of previously unknown or unused metadata elements from files. The software identifies, analyzes, and processes embedded metadata from unstructured data on file systems of any size. It can process over 400 file formats and extract more than 100,000 different metadata tags in a very short time. The information gained provides greater transparency into the connections and relationships between files and the data they contain. The Metadata Hub is a key component for unlocking the value of unstructured data by enabling efficient search, aggregation, and classification of files.
KNIME Software enables companies to create, deploy, monitor, and manage analytical models, as well as share insights through data applications and services. The free and open-source KNIME Analytics Platform offers an intuitive, no-code/low-code interface that enables data and business experts of all experience levels and disciplines to create analyses of any complexity, from spreadsheet automation and ETL to machine learning. The commercial product, KNIME Business Hub, enables teams to collaborate and establish data science solutions, allowing data-driven decisions to be made consistently across any organization.
“Until now, data science has been a task for specialists and programmers. Combining the Metadata Hub with KNIME means we’re bringing high-level automated metadata mining together with a no-code data science platform. This partnership opens up a whole new world for users, enabling them to leverage their previously unused or inaccessible, yet highly valuable, information,” explains Adriana Grau, Strategic Account Manager at GRAU DATA. “The full functionality of the Metadata Hub can be utilized 100% within KNIME workflows. For data scientists, this marks the beginning of a new era in working with unstructured data.”
“KNIME makes analytics of all kinds accessible to more people in organizations, thereby accelerating initiatives to scale data usage. We look forward to expanding our partner ecosystem to include domain experts such as the team at GRAU DATA,” says Kilian Thiel, Head of Strategic Partnerships at KNIME.
