Modeling is important to metadata management. With a clear, concise, and
agreed upon definition?

So is it one, or the other?
I'd like to know - and I think others would, too.
I've been doing some thinking recently about the state of the data
management industry and our profession. If you require additional
details on the basic operations and qualities of DBMSs and databases,
please refer to some of the books listed below for additional knowledge
on the topic. Is every data element documented in your company?

That is just goodness to my way of thinking - and it is a darn shame
that it takes governmental regulations to make corporations sit up and
take notice of the issue. Actually, I doubt that many of you would - and
not because you are wary of your technical prowess in terms of wrangling
and taming data.

Given Stonebraker's track record, I wouldn't bet against him.

was helping a human resources department determine which programmers to
lay off. Interesting to note, the majority of the recruiters I hear from
have an Indian accent, and the phone call sounds like it's a radio
transmission right from India. Interesting to note, the majority of the
recruiters I hear from have an Indian accent, and the phone call sounds

application growth is at the root of data redundancy and inaccuracy. "
but came up with several others, and finally distilled it down to the
fact that it is indeed good news for the industry to see pay finally
coming back to respectable levels.
Read the comments posted back at the site housing the Gartner article,
too. By this I mean: Is the regular complaining I hear about sliding pay
rates and tough to find jobs just the grumbling of those who are too
"fat and happy" to realize that they have it better than most?
The DBMS uses Ids and passwords to control which users are allowed
access to which portions of the database. Oh well, hopefully IT pay
scales in general will stay ahead of the core inflation rate .

A few weeks ago I posted my thoughts on a resurgence of metadata
management. So what; let's look at the results anyway, just for
chuckles.

Well, no, they won't.
So how do you ensure that you are exploiting the metadata you are
collecting to the fullest, possible extent? Well, unsuccessful at least
in terms of their ongoing usage. Let's face it, the vast majority of
companies live in the state of data anarchy. And are they doling out
higher paychecks to those of us who can tame and control it? To achieve
success requires planning, architecture, and strategy.

Models ensure that the business design of a data architecture is
appropriately mapped to the logical design, providing comprehensive
documentation on both sides. Tap into the potential of this DBA
community to expand your business!

It is worth a quick read if you are at all interested in metadata
management. Effective communication is at the heart of the metadata
value proposition. I've been doing some thinking recently about the
state of the data management industry and our profession. This short
review of DBMS fundamentals is necessarily brief because of the nature
of blogs; most readers should find this material to be familiar. So, if
you are a DBA, data architect, database designer, or anyone who has even
a passing interest in data, please keep on coming back here to read this
blog. My heart fluttered as I tapped on the HAWK and the GOOSE displayed
my BIRD on the SPARROW.

So these guys think the captial "R" Repository is coming back because
databases are dying and DBAs should think about managing the Repository?

I wouldn't bet my career on that. Is the Information Week data accurate?
Furthermore, a DBMS provides recoverability. the latest in Sequential
Partitioned Asynchronous Reduced Rate Workstation technology.

For now, let's just focus on the top five advantages of using modeling
to enhance metadata management.

Yes, I even mean on that business user's desktop in an Excel
spreadsheet. If it was data the company cared about, then it should be
defined in the Repository. At any rate, I question their titles and what
they map to exactly in the real world. Most interesting to me is the
paragraph in the article that outlines the most sought after positions
and their hourly wages.

According to Gartner analysts Donald Feinberg and Ted Friedman we won't
need databases or DBAs and most of the data we'll need in the future
will be unstructured anyway.
The promise of metadata is that it will, if managed properly, provide
corporate IT departments with a well-documented, up-to-date view of
their data assets. But it was a troublesome thing to deploy and keep
accurate.

Well, no, they won't.

Which brings me to the title of this little blog posting. It is titled
Managing Metadata and it was written by Jon Udell. Another common name
for the network model is CODASYL. Most DBAs perform architecture work on
a daily basis.

But without some central record of all that is correct, how can we be
sure what metadata is correct? Yes, I even mean on that business user's
desktop in an Excel spreadsheet. Think about it, it is the same problem
we have with data today.

How do you ensure that it is kept up-to-date so that new metadata about
new data is incorporated?
Not a bad idea, right? I do plan to keep on posting here.
