Overview

Deriving value from data depends extensively on understanding the data and sharing knowledge among everyone who works with data. Sharing data knowledge is the core purpose of metadata. The common definition of metadata is “data about data.” But that definition doesn’t adequately describe the essential roles of metadata for data management, business intelligence, analytics, and data science. A more meaningful definition states that metadata is “the data and information that is needed by an organisation to effectively and efficiently manage its data and information resources.” Just as you need financial data to manage financial resources, you need metadata to manage data resources. In today’s data-driven world, the importance of managing data is certainly on par with that of managing finances. 

This online training course is designed to provide the foundational metadata knowledge needed by anyone who has data management roles and responsibilities. It covers metadata basics such as the types and purposes of metadata, and explores core metadata disciplines of data modeling, data profiling, and data cataloging. Metadata roles in data governance, stewardship, security, quality, and analysis are explained.
