Managing Governance MetadataAbstract

• Metadata is a byproduct of a successful data governance program.

• More often than not, the success of a data governance program depends onthe ability to record, validate and share metadata that is produced whileimplementing a data governance program.

• Metadata provides more than just the meaning of the data, the lineage ofthe data, and the rules associated with consuming the data.

• Governance metadata includes the people aspect of the data, who owns it(if you use that term), who stewards it, and who defines, produces and usesthe data across the organization as well as other things.













• So the question becomes, how well do you manage the metadata that isassociated with your data governance program?

• Or maybe the question is how well should you manage this metadata?

• And what does it take to manage this metadata.

• The answer lies in this webinar.

• We think you may be surprised by some of the answers.













• Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for this Real-World Data Governancewebinar that will discuss the metadata that is derived through the datagovernance program, the importance of this metadata, and Seiner will shareideas on the best ways to manage this metadata on a mass consumptionbasis.

• Tools and templates will be shared in this session.

Managing Governance MetadataAgenda

• What is meant by Mass Consumption?

into the hands of people that will

get value from its use.












Managing Governance MetadataDefinitions

• Data Governance– Data Governance is the Execution and Enforcement of Authority Over the Mgmt. of

Data and Data-Related Resources.

• associated with the definition, production & usage of data

• across the organization and departmentally

• to assure that the definition, production & usage of data

• assures regulatory compliance, security, privacy, protection & quality.
