About the Webinar

The first step towards understanding data assets’ impact on your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata — literally, data about data — is a practice area required by good systems development, and yet is also perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood Data Management practice. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight into the efficiency of organizational practices, and enable you to combine practices into sophisticated techniques, supporting larger and more complex business initiatives. Program learning objectives include:
  • Understanding how to leverage metadata practices in support of business strategy
  • Discuss foundational metadata concepts
  • Guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses applied strategy
  • Metadata strategies, including:
    • Metadata is a gerund so don't try to treat it as a noun
    • Metadata is the language of Data Governance
    • Treat glossaries/repositories as capabilities, not technology
