Your modeling experience has again taken a giant step forward. You'll notice a fairly significant advancement, as we’ve introduced a completely new Relationship Editor that makes working with connections between your entities clearer, faster, and more powerful. This is more than just a UI upgrade — it’s the first step toward our upcoming reusable relationships feature.

Ellie.AI x Collibra – Integration Extends to the Logical Level

When we first introduced the Ellie.AI–Collibra integration, the focus was on Glossary synchronization and Conceptual Model sync. The goal has always been to provide a seamless bridge between Ellie.AI’s modeling capabilities and Collibra’s data governance platform.

Now we are taking the next big step: the integration has been extended to cover the Logical Entities and Logical Models syncing.

Why this matters

The Logical Model acts as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation. By synchronizing both the Conceptual and the Logical layers between Ellie.AI and Collibra, organizations can ensure consistency and clarity across the entire lifecycle – from business concepts all the way to implementation.

What’s new

With this release, the Ellie.AI x Collibra integration now supports:

  • Logical Assets sync: Logical Entities, Attributes and Models in Ellie.AI can be mapped to corresponding Collibra asset types.
  • Attribute-level synchronization: Both Conceptual Attributes and Logical Attributes are now synchronized. Metadata such as data type, length, and description remain consistent across systems.
  • Relationship mapping: Logical Entities are automatically linked to their Logical Models, and Logical Attributes are correctly linked back to their parent Entities in Collibra.
  • Configurable mappings: Admins can define which Collibra asset types represent Logical Entities, Attributes and Models – offering flexibility to match organizational standards.
  • Enhanced connector UI: New tabs for Logical Models and Logical Entities make configuration straightforward. Users can also trigger manual sync or rely on automated sync scheduling directly from the interface.
  • Traceability: Every create, update, and change is logged, ensuring transparency and auditibility across both platforms.

Practical benefit

For users, this means information stays aligned. Changes made in Ellie.AI are reflected in Collibra – and vice versa. Whether adjusting an entity’s attributes or updating a model, the integration ensures both environments stay in sync without manual duplication.

This provides organizations with greater confidence that their data assets are not only governed but also kept consistent and reliable across systems.

Looking ahead

This release elevates the Ellie.AI–Collibra integration by extending it to the Logical layer. Our journey continues as we keep strengthening transparency, lineage, and governance – ensuring that your data assets remain trusted and connected across the enterprise.
