The Role of Meta-Data in Data Governance
• Data Governance and Meta-Data share a very important relationship. As
we heard in the previous “Real World Data Governance” webinar, meta-
data stored in accessible artifacts becomes a valuable byproduct of a
successful Data Governance program. But the relationship works the other
way as well. The meta-data itself must be governed.
• Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for the second in a series of Data
Governance webinars titled “Real World Data Governance” where Bob and
a guest practitioner discuss:
1) the role that meta-data plays in a successful data governance program
2) the level of governance required to collect and deliver that meta-data.

• In this webinar, Bob will share examples of how data governance programs
leverage meta-data from artifacts and their information management
environments as well as the tactics required to manage and maintain that
meta-data.

The Role of Meta-Data in Data Governance
• Regarding Meta-Data … Let’s Break the Mold
• What kind of meta-data are we talking about regarding Data Governance:
– Data about who defines, produces and uses data
– Data about where data is defined, produced and used through process
– Data about how data is defined, produced and used
– Data about what the rules are associated with the data
– Data about when data can be copied, shared, retained, retired
• All of these types of meta-data were collected in the artifacts shared in the
last Real-World Data Governance webinar.

Governed.

• Where Do We Start
– Define Organization Units
• The Organizational Units can be pulled from
an organizational chart or they can be
determined by Company, Division,
Department, Team, …
• If the Organizational Units are defined by
the Company it is often left to the Company to
determine how granular they want to get with their units.
• Insert Tools that are used by the Business Areas to house meta-data.

The Role of Meta-Data in Data Governance
• How Do We Populate the Stakeholder of the CDM?
– Data / Meta-Data Steward Coordinator
• The Data / Meta-Data Steward Coordinator
often has the responsibility of identifying the
operational meta-data stewards for their
business unit by meta-data domain.
• This may require the coordinator to
research and inventory the data that is
being defined, produced and used in their business unit.
• This requires that the domains of data are defined and documented
to the level of detail that will enable the Data Steward Coordinator
to complete this task.
