Metadata management is the data about your data
Metadata Management provides you with the processes, tools and frameworks necessary to understand the context of your data. Realise the true quality and value of your data by understanding where it comes from, why it exists and how relevant it is.
What is Metadata Management?
Metadata is data that describes other data – it holds the answers to questions such as ‘who collected this?’, ‘what is its purpose?' and 'where did it come from?'. Using best practice metadata management frameworks and specialist technologies, we are able to gather and store the answers to these questions. The collected information helps you to understand the quality of your data and those all-important data relationships.
Understand the value of your data
To truly understand the value of your data, you need to have knowledge of its background and how it integrates with other data. For example, on first look, data collected last year might appear to be more reliable than data over 5 years old. However, who owns the data, why it was collected, and the security level all have a bearing on how valuable it is. Metadata provides the answers to these contextual questions.
Through metadata management, you will have one centralised piece of technology that stores this knowledge. It will be organised in a simple and accessible way so you can fully harness your data’s value.

Why do you need metadata management?

- Improved consistency – management in one central place allows for consistency across all data. All personnel necessary will have access to the same records.
