Add support for synonyms.
This would make ADC much more inoperable with other data sources, like Oracle.

Allow AAD Guest Users
On a project for a large national public body and they have stakeholders across 15 Regional Directorates and several Governmental organisations. The Data Catalog needs to be available to all of them. We employ the Azure AD B2B model for granting rights to externals for collaboration in O365 but we can't add them to the Data Catalog so they can't do data discovery or request access to data resources. I can't imagine we are the only org with this kind of scenario...We need AAD Guest Access.

Use Power BI for displaying data catalog data
We love data catalog! To be able to encourage use in our company and create a buzz, we’d love to create some visuals in power BI to show what we have in catalog - number of datasets, tags etc.
I couldn’t see Catalog as an available source in Power BI though

Add a fully featured Schema Repository
Provide a schema repository that allows multiple technical schema to be associated with Data Entities.
Primary use cases are to allow consumers to find data sources and then be able to technically integrate with the data source and understand the data source structure e.g. for integration or testing/validation purposes in a data pipeline.
Should support:
- XSD, jsonSchema, AVRO, parquet, and others
- Versioning - a schema will change over time, all versions should be capable of being stored or retrieved.
- More than 1 schema type per data asset. For example the same source nested json/xml data might be…2 votes -

Rearrange, add, and/or remove columns in the Glossary
The Glossary currently has limited functionality for a user. I am envisioning the look-and-feel- of Sharepoint columns where you can move a column closer to the left side just by dragging and dropping. For example, I would like to see the Definition column right after the Term column - it would be great to click on the Definition column and drop it in between the Term and Parent Term column. Would it also be possible to add a column for the Description field? Also, could we the ability to remove columns such as the Last Updated By column?

Capture metadata of ETL processes designed in Data Factory
Big data platform are mainly powered by two major components in their architecture; Source-to-target mapping and ETL processes. So the analyst performing analytics on a specific dataset needs to understand where the data came from, which business rules applied on the data while in transient,...etc. So, an analyst could create a lineage diagram to help them understand the data movement in details. In the same time, data engineers could generate an impact analysis on ETL procesees and target datasets in case any data source was changed.
The short version is Data Catalog to harvest metadata from Data Factory that describes…

Issue with relationships or related data feature.
Is it just me or is there a bug with the relationships or related data feature? Tried re-publishing related data and the tab that should show how data can be joined is not visible. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-catalog/data-catalog-how-to-view-related-data-assets

Catalog Analytics
Azure Data Catalog does not have any analytics on user or the registered data itself. As a curator in the Azure Data Catalog, it would be great to see the following analytics:
- Search keywords statistics
- Registered data rating and reviews
- Failed search (searched keyword with zero results or no result selected)
- Registered Data usage
-etc

Require Authorization to Create A Data Catalog
Currently anybody with an Azure subscription can create THE data catalog instance for the entire company. This could be a contractor with an MSDN subscription for example.
This seems to set the main permissions for who "owns" the Data Catalog for the entire company.
Not viable for business use.
