Reviews issues associated with metadata management in relation to the Internet and data warehousing, and provides examples of data structure architectures. Part I explains basic concepts and terminology of metadata, describes typical metadata problems, and introduces a common basic metamodel. Part II explores specific business areas that benefit directly from improved metadata management and discusses recent developments in business intelligence software and the Internet. Part III examines ways in which management of the overall set of metadata can be separated into autonomous but overlapping areas of activity. Example structures for four metamodels are provided in appendices totalling some 280 pages. Includes a glossary. The author is an independent management consultant, lecturer, and writer on enterprise information management. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
