4. What is Metadata?
required
CourseMetadata is like drawing a map for a trip; it’s not necessarily the beginning or endpoint of a journey. It provides the context around each point of that particular trip for a given data element. Where Data Management can be seen as the entire journey, metadata is the context that allows the map to be drawn.

5. What is Data Lineage?
required
CourseAll the data in an organization has a story; data lineage is about telling the story of that data as it travels through the various systems and platforms. So, data lineage is metadata over time, in that it reveals the “who, what, where, when, why, and how” of data. This course examines the core concepts of data lineage, including: definitions, types of data lineage, why organizations need to be concerned about data lineage, important use cases, getting started, and more.
