Challenges In Traditional Metadata Management

Active Metadata Management is pivotal in the modern data ecosystem, facilitating the active management and usage of metadata to improve data understanding, quality and governance. It involves managing metadata in a way that enables it to be reflected in the ever-changing data landscape.

Traditional approaches to metadata management often struggle with static and siloed metadata repositories that can quickly become outdated as the data environment evolves. These challenges hinder data discoverability, quality, governance and compliance which in turn is making it difficult for organizations to utilize their data assets.

Active Metadata Management With inorigo®

inorigo®’s metagraph technology provides several key advantages that addresses the challenges of traditional metadata management:

Dynamic Metadata Integration 

The metagraph platform supports the integration of metadata across diverse sources. This ensures that it’s clear how the metadata relates to both its data and other metadata, including structures and relations. This is crucial for keeping metadata relevant and useful.

Metadata Updates

inorigo®’s technology enables Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to manage and maintain their own metadata and propagate this across the system landscape. This automation ensures that metadata remains accurate and up-to-date without manual processes, facilitating more effective data management and governance.

Enhanced Metadata Contextualization

The metagraph approach provides a rich contextual framework for metadata, linking the metadata elements to data sources, business terms, policies and governance structures. This contextualization enhances the usability and understanding of metadata.

inorigo®’transforms active metadata management by addressing the limitations of traditional approaches with its dynamic and context-rich framework. The metadata is continuously updated, contextualized and linked to governance and compliance frameworks

Proactive Governance and Compliance

By maintaining current and comprehensive metadata, inorigo® supports proactive data governance and compliance efforts. Organizations can more easily manage definitions, policies and regulatory requirements, leveraging metadata to automate governance processes and compliance checks.

Improved Data Discoverability and Usability

Active metadata management via the metagraph technology enhances data discoverability and usability, enabling users to find, understand and trust the data they need for analytics and decision-making. This is achieved by providing detailed, up-to-date metadata that describes data lineage, quality and usage constraints.
