Earlier in 2023, we discussed The Importance of Metadata here in the DBA Corner column. And, indeed, metadata is more important than ever before because it helps us to understand our data. Data without metadata lacks meaning, making it difficult to be used. Metadata gives data its form and makes it usable by your organization. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to properly create, manage, and govern metadata. Part of the challenge is coupled to the sheer volume and variety of data being managed by modern applications and systems. The increasing volume of data generated in various formats can make it challenging to…
