METADATA SERVICES

Imagine your organization’s information as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.  Before you can put together a jigsaw puzzle and see the big picture, you have to organize the pieces: corners, edges, similar colors, and similar shapes.

It’s the same thing with information.  You collect information 24x7 through the myriad systems that help you run your operations.  You know that you want to use that information to build a big picture of your organization, but how does your information fit?   Get those puzzle pieces organized!  You need to know what information you have, as well as what it means, how it’s organized, where it lives, and what value it can bring to your strategic and tactical decisions.

Enter Frameworks Information Technology’s Metadata Services.  We help you fully understand the content, context, and structure of your information. Through the development and implementation of a Metadata Services Solution your organization will have mission critical information for each piece of information in your enterprise in each of the following areas:

• Source
  Where exactly does your information live?
• Definition
  What do each piece of information represent?
• Structure
  How is the information recorded?
• Relationship
  How is your information organized?
• Translation and Transformation
  With all those different systems where do you find a translator who speaks all those languages?
• Status
  How up-to-date is the information?
• Mandate
  Why are we collecting this data in the first place?

With a clear understanding of your data and metadata, you’ll throw open the doors and peer out into the new world of data visualization!
