This eBook explains how Active Metadata Management turns metadata into a living enterprise layer that continuously captures change, understands data relationships, and drives governance, lineage, and trust in real time. Using the ChainSys Smart Data Platform, it shows how organizations move beyond passive catalogs to metadata-driven operations that support analytics, AI, security, and compliance—at scale.
This book focuses on how Active Metadata Management operates in practice. It explains how metadata is centralized, enriched, governed, and embedded directly into data operations such as lineage tracking, impact analysis, access control, data quality management, and compliance monitoring. Using the ChainSys Active Metadata Management framework, the book demonstrates how metadata becomes an always-on intelligence layer that connects technical systems with business context, enabling confident decision-making across analytics, AI, and enterprise data initiatives.
