Yes, Azure Purview is based on Apache ATLAS. AND: it supports and provides an Apache ATLAS REST API interface to insert and modify entries in the data catalog: A good start can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/tutorial-using-rest-apis

wstrasser&nbsp;MarySarafraz&nbsp;, I'm currently trying out a solution architecture exposed by&nbsp;pietheinstrengholt&nbsp;in his excellent article Modern Data Pipelines with Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Purview&nbsp;(Dec 30, 2021).In this architecture Azure Purview is use to store additional parameters (Primary Key of the datasets, Operation Type...) via a custom entity type definition (to support Synapse Pipelines and Spark Notebooks because custom attributes for collections aren't supported yet in Purview)&nbsp;If Purview built-in entity types now support custom attributes I will be glad to get any link to achieve it 🙂
