Metadata Fundamentals

What you need to know
What you need to do
How to do what needs to be done

Metadata is more than just data about data. Metadata matters because it gives structure and meaning to the products, services and information we want accessed – by us, by customers, by clients. What you can’t find doesn’t get used or bought. 

Because the world changes in the demands it makes of data – what, when, why, how, who, and where it wants to know, and societies increasingly regulate how data is managed, metadata practice must change over time, and vary across borders. 

Business needs, user needs, and language evolve. Your metadata practices must adapt to stay fit for purpose.

Metadata Fundamentals sets out best practices for metadata in DAM, CMS, PIM, and all MarTech and content systems. The approach is intensely practical, with a focus on metadata development as a strategic imperative in business. 

Successful implementation of all digital and content supporting strategies requires good governance structures supported by competent technology, people, and process. 

You want your assets to be discovered, users want to find them. State of the art metadata delivers these objectives.

Over four sessions, you will learn the state of the art - how the latest technology and best practice procedures ensure your digital assets can be found, quickly and easily.
