From proprietary data to publicly accessible open data, today every enterprise operates within a staggering amount of available information. The thing is, having data and acknowleging their existence and potential is one thing, but understanding them and being able to act upon these data is quite another. In a this deck of slides, we are highlighting the importance of being metadata-driven and inviting you to consider the innumerous benefits well-managed “data about data“ could bring to your organization.

Metadata
Matters:
From Having
Data to Acting
Upon Them

2. 1
Today, every enterprise operates within a staggering amount of data
available both within and outside the enterprise.

3. 2
From proprietary data to publicly available open data, the number of
data sources grows exponentially and tapping into the potential they
provide for business intelligence, enterprise data analysis, data-driven
strategies and actions is mission-critical.

4. The thing is, not all data are collected and created equal and it is
turning these raw data into the right kind of data that counts.

5. Getting data right and tapping into their potential
starts with a seemingly counterintuitive move:
adding more data to the existing ones.

6. Put very simply,
adding more data means adding as much
granularity of detail to your existing data
by using metadata.

7. 6
In other words, metadata is just self-referential data about other data.

8. 7
When created and handled properly, metadata are critical
to the way data are managed, organized and used.

9. Metadata are what
facilitates the discovery of
relevant information and
the search and retrieval of
resources.

10. 9
Any digital object or
data piece, tagged with
metadata, can be
automatically associated
with other relevant
elements and thus easy
to organize and discover.

11. 10
With metadata you can:

And as if this is not enough of potential,
you can make metadata
work for you even
harder smarter.
For metadata is powerful,

13. Semantic metadata
(that is metadata
expressed with the help
of semantic technology)
are richly contextualized
and deeply interlinked to
thousands of datasets
from Wikipedia and
Geonames to
government statistical
data and other open data
that are publicly
available.

14. Semantic metadata not only helps us find our way around information,
but also invents new information. Highly-interconnected. 13

15. Highly-interconnected
resources enable richer
experiences with content:
more efficient research,
deeply interlinked sources,
well-chosen
recommended
content

16. We interact
with information
faster,
better and at
a lower cost.

Adding
semantic metadata
to resources describes
them with a greater level
of granularity,
thus making
the once
time-consuming
search a
matter of
minutes.

When everything is interlinked, elements are more easily associated with one
another, remixed, put together and reused in a meaningful way.

Helping the integration of disparate resources, semantic metadata
creates a business value allowing for the automation of numerous
tasks such as tagging, relationship discovery, fraud detection,
resource gathering, etc.

This faster, better and more cost-effective interactions ultimately
make for captivating and insightful new experiences with content.

And this is when
“the staggering
amount of data
available both within
and outside the
enterprise” turns into
a staggering amount
of opportunities
for any enterprise,
caring to use data as
a strategic asset.
