What is Metadata Management?

Metadata is the data about data. Whenever data is captured, moved within an organisation, integrated with other data, profiled, used, analysed, or accessed by users – metadata is generated.

Metadata Management provides you with the processes, tools and frameworks necessary to understand the context of data. It allows businesses to realise the true quality and value of their data by understanding where it comes from, why it exists and how relevant it is.
