FAQ

What is metadata management software?

Metadata management software helps to manage metadata that describes data assets within an organization. It allows adding a technical & business context to raw data and describing data relationships. This makes enterprise data easy to discover and understand by business users. Metadata management is an important part of all data management, data governance and data quality efforts.

How can I manage metadata?

To start managing your metadata you need a proper software like Dataedo. It provides a single metadata repository, where all the metadata is stored, allows users to document key data elements through a convenient interface and then share created documentation in interactive, easily searchable HTML format or as a self-hosted web data catalog.

Why is metadata management important?

Metadata management is important because metadata helps to find, understand, and aggregate enterprise data. Without proper metadata management people working with data will have hard time identifying data assets needed for analyses, understanding what enterprise data is stored in different columns and tables, and finally getting business value from it to make better decisions. It is also an essential part of digital transformation, data governance strategies, and of ensuring regulatory compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR or CCPA.

What is a metadata repository?

Metadata repository is a database that stores all the metadata collected & managed by Dataedo (metadata management & enterprise data catalog software), from sources such as databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and analytics platforms. It can have one of two forms - self-hosted SQL Server / Azure SQL Database or a local file.
