Metadata management tools allow organizations to manage and track their metadata assets. These can include data source information, metadata about how to use the data (such as data quality KPIs), and other critical business and IT data.
The best metadata management tools should be able to automate the process of managing metadata assets and storing them in a catalog that is accessible and searchable by people throughout the organization. They should also be able to provide data lineage so users can understand the journey of data from beginning to end.
There are several ways to go about achieving this. Some tools can do this automatically through metadata semantic matching or by using data dictionaries to find a relationship between the different data sets.
Choosing the right tool to support your data management needs requires a thorough evaluation of your specific workflows and requirements. It should be scalable and integrated with other systems to meet your business goals.
