Metadata 100 success Secrets

Metadata (meta data, or sometimes metainformation) is "data about data", of any sort in any media. An item of metadata may describe an individual datum, or content item, or a collection of data including multiple content items and hierarchical levels, for example a database schema. Metadata provides context for data. This book is for the person that is using or implementing a metadata solution. It is also for the person that needs to decide why the metadata solution that exists in his/her organization isn't what it could be. It offers a good perspective about metadata, ownership versus stewardship. Highly recommended, quick read covering everything metadata, something Data/IT Managers should be familiar with.
