Course Description

Metadata is foundational to all data work and should be the top priority of a Data Governance program. Without an understanding of what data means, where it comes from, and how it’s classified, it’s virtually impossible to progress to anything else. You cannot define quality levels or access rights or usage guidelines. To understand both the data and the value we can derive from that data, we need to have metadata.

This course provides an overview of Metadata Management, the role Data Governance plays in managing metadata, what other roles are needed for a robust metadata program, and the key capabilities needed in a metadata program. We review the business value of metadata and some ways to measure that value. Using specific examples, we demonstrate how metadata can support several current business demands for Data Governance, including privacy regulations and digital transformations.

This course also sets the stage for the subsequent courses on business glossaries and data catalogs.
