We live in a data-rich, insights-rich, and content-rich world. Data collections are the ones and zeroes that encode the actionable insights (patterns, trends, relationships) that we seek to extract from our data through machine learning and data science. Plus, AI can also help find key insights encoded in data.

Instead, we got data. Lots and lots of data. It does feel, however, as if we need jet-like speed to analyze and understand our data, who is using it, how it is used, and if it is being used to drive value. This is because simply collecting data leaves it open to misinterpretation, misuse, and decay.

Metadata is an important part of data governance, and as a result, most nascent data governance programs are rife with project plans for assessing and documenting metadata. But in many scenarios, it seems that the underlying driver of metadata collection projects is that it’s just something you do for data governance.
