Metadata Management dives into the frameworks and tools used to define, organize, and govern metadata. Drawing from Chapter 12 of the DMBOK2 Revised Edition, the course introduces different types and sources of metadata, the role of business glossaries, and the importance of stewardship. Learners will compare architectural approaches — centralized, distributed, and hybrid — and evaluate how metadata supports governance, quality, and business value. By the end, participants will understand how effective metadata management enables both exam success and enterprise-wide clarity in data use.
