In this session, we will discuss key metadata elements to document, including data governance roles and responsibilities, how and where to capture metadata, who needs access, and everyone's favorite topic: tagging! This discussion promises to provide valuable insights into the importance of metadata management and practical advice on how to effectively handle it.
