> 📣 We've moved from Bintray to [Artifactory](https://linkedin.jfrog.io/artifactory/datahub-gma/)!

>

> As of version [0.2.45](https://github.com/linkedin/datahub-gma/releases/tag/v0.2.45), we are only publishing versions

> to LinkedIn's Artifactory instance rather than Bintray, which is approaching end of life.

## Introduction

General Metadata Architecture (GMA) is the backend for [DataHub](https://github.com/linkedin/datahub), LinkedIn's

generalized metadata search & discovery tool. To learn more about DataHub, check out its

[GitHub page](https://github.com/linkedin/datahub).

You should also visit [GMA Architecture](docs/architecture/architecture.md) to get a better understanding of how GMA is

implemented.

This repository contains the _partial_ source code for GMA. It originally lived in the same GitHub repository as

DataHub. We're still in the process of moving it all over.
