Master data metadata provides crucial information about the master data, offering context and

supporting its management and use within the organization.

Who, What, and Where Context:

Metadata provides descriptive information about the master data, including details about who

created or modified the data, what the data represents, and where it is used.

This contextual information is essential for understanding the origins, purpose, and usage of the

master data.

Includes a Sample of Content:

While metadata might include examples or samples of the data, this is not its primary purpose.

Improving Fit-for-Purpose Choices:

Metadata helps improve the application and governance of master data by providing context and

supporting data management decisions.

Securing the Content:

Metadata itself is not primarily focused on security, though it can support data governance and

access control processes.

Technical or Business Perspectives:

Metadata can encompass both technical and business perspectives, providing a holistic view of the

data's context and usage.
