Abstract
Now that you understand the major components of an enterprise information management (EIM) solution, in this chapter I explain metadata management. Metadata management helps enterprises make sense of the information that is contained in their corporate repositories. Metadata is often referred to as “data about data” and in this chapter I look at the crucial role of metadata in EIM. As with information governance, metadata management cuts across the spectrum of EIM from information sourcing to information delivery and consumption. Metadata enhances the business and technical value of information stored in enterprise repositories such as operational data stores (ODSs), information warehouses, and data marts.
