Course Description

This course dives deeper into that aspect of Metadata Management called a business glossary. We examine why a business glossary is important and how it increases productivity to reporting and analysis, as well as how it can serve to improve project execution and IT operations. We also review the types of tools that provide business glossary functionality.

Because a business glossary is really just a container, we also spend time discussing how to create valuable business data definitions, how to identify inconsistencies, and how to resolve definitional conflicts. We cover techniques for identifying and prioritizing Critical Data Elements (CDEs) and other types of classifications that ensure the data definitions provide meaning, trust, and transparency in the data.
