Fundamentals of Metadata Management, Ole Olesen-Bagneux

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 IT, data, information, and knowledge in your company. Until now, most of these repositories have been implemented in isolation from one another, but that practice lies at the core of problems with data management in many companies today.

Author Ole Olesen-Bagneux, chief evangelist at Actian, shows you how to masterfully manage your metadata repositories by properly coordinating them. That requires a data discovery team to increase insights for all key players in enterprise data management, from the CIO and CDO to enterprise and data architects. Coordinating these repositories will help you and your organization democratize data and excel at data management.
