Make sense of your data and maximize its business value.

Gain Visibility into Your Data

But without properly defined and integrated metadata defining informational assets, you’ll have little context to derive value from it.

Metadata Management Benefits 

Find Data Quickly

Improve Reporting

Storing all your metadata in a centralized system allows teams to seamlessly match reporting across your organization for improved analysis and business planning.

Save Countless Hours

A streamlined, centralized system eliminates your tedious metadata management tasks and frees your time so you can focus on the high-value activities that drive business value.

Key Concepts of Metadata Management 

We apply these concepts and best practices to help you drive more value from your data:

Business Glossary

A business glossary defines common metadata management terminology, exceptions and variants for business users. A common language improves communication between your organization’s stakeholders, ultimately leading to better data integrity.

Data Dictionary

Describing data elements from both a business and technical perspective is a crucial early step in metadata management. These definitions provide the context needed to understand each data object’s potential for application and reusability.

Data Lineage

When data enters a system, it moves through several locations where it can quickly deteriorate in quality and accuracy. Data lineage tracks how information moves between repositories and monitors data sources, targets, transformations, mappings and transitions.

“The level of cooperation between members of our organization and Adastra has always been outstanding. It is easy to say that both parties work together as a single unit, and I am looking forward to further cooperation with Adastra.”

Metadata Management FAQ

What is metadata management?

Metadata management covers the policies, processes, standards and technology you need to correctly define, integrate and manage your data. Without properly defined metadata, you have little context to get value from the data flowing into your organization. Our centralized system automates metadata management and tracks how metadata changes as data moves, wherever it lives.

An organized metadata glossary makes data discovery fast, so teams can locate, track, understand and use data effectively. Understanding how information flows supports regulatory compliance and confirms data accuracy. Centralized metadata aligns reporting across the organization, and automation removes tedious manual tasks so your people can focus on the high-value work that drives results.

A business glossary defines common terminology, exceptions and variants for business users. It gives everyone in the organization a shared language for data, which improves communication between stakeholders and leads to better data integrity. A clear glossary also makes it easier for new users to find and trust the right data for their work.

A data dictionary describes data elements from both a business and a technical perspective. Creating it is a crucial early step in metadata management. These definitions provide the context needed to understand each data object, how it can be applied and whether it can be reused, which saves time across analytics and development teams.

When data enters a system, it moves through several locations where its quality and accuracy can deteriorate. Data lineage tracks how information moves between repositories and monitors sources, targets, transformations, mappings and transitions.
