Enterprise metadata management (EMM)

Written by Dr. Jagreet Kaur Gill | 19 Jan 2023

Metadata is essential information that helps us understand and use information assets throughout their life cycles. It describes a document, such as an author, creation date, and modified date.

Enterprise metadata management (EMM) is the process of managing metadata to help organizations improve the accessibility and usefulness of their data. Providing critical context for complex data environments improves productivity, innovation, and collaboration for all data consumers. With the help of a data governance tool, you can create a more effective data management system and reduce the risk of data disasters.
