Metadata management often struggles from its perception as a passive and limited resource and, worse yet, becomes a project afterthought that the business deprioritizes to other work. Data-driven companies, however, prioritize empowering people with self-service data analytics and leveraging scalable AI and machine learning capabilities. Both initiatives can be successful only if the data is trustworthy through data governance, quality management, and transparency.
"Active Metadata" concentrates on the actionable and automated aspects needed in real-time modern data management. This session will reinvigorate how you approach metadata and recognize how to apply an emerging set of capabilities to transform your data management and governance.
