Fundamentals of Metadata Management

Whether it's to adhere to regulations, access markets by meeting specific standards, or devise data analytics and AI strategies, companies today are busy implementing metadata repositories-metadata tools about the data, information, and knowledge in your company. Until now, most of these repositories have been implemented in isolation from one another, but this practice is at the core of problems with metadata management at large in many companies today.

Author Ole Olesen-Bagneux, chief evangelist at Zeenea, shows you how to masterfully manage your metadata repositories by properly coordinating them. That will help you and your organization democratize data and excel at metadata management. Coordination must be facilitated by an entirely new kind of team-the data discovery team-that will increase insights for all key players in enterprise metadata management, from the CIO and CDO to the enterprise and data architects of the company.
