Business Metadata: Capturing Enterprise Knowledge is the first book
that helps businesses capture corporate (human) knowledge and
unstructured data, and offer solutions for codifying it for use in IT
and management. Written by Bill Inmon, one of the fathers of the data
warehouse and well-known author, the book is filled with war stories,
examples, and cases from current projects. It includes a complete
metadata acquisition methodology and project plan to guide readers every
step of the way, and sample unstructured metadata for use in
self-testing and developing skills.
This book is recommended for IT professionals, including those in
consulting, working on systems that will deliver better knowledge
management capability. This includes people in these positions: data
architects, data analysts, SOA architects, metadata analysts, repository
(metadata data warehouse) managers as well as vendors that have a
metadata component as part of their systems or tools.
