Recorded Webinar: Best practices for metadata management
5 October 2021
Metadata has become central to financial firms as a means of enriching, discovering and effectively using both business and technical data. Its management is equally important, particularly in capital markets applications such as data lineage and data governance, which require a clear view of data and its provenance, and the ability to scale and support change management across an organisation.
This webinar will review metadata management and its use cases in capital markets, the drive to automation and data accuracy, and the operational and business benefits of successful data lineage and data governance programmes. It will also consider how to start and scale metadata management projects, the types of technologies and tools that can be helpful, and approaches to metadata management for compliance and business going forward.

- The evolution of metadata and metadata management
- Use cases of metadata management in capital markets
- The particulars of data lineage and data governance
- Approaches to automated and sustainable solutions
