Meta Manager Overview - WES
Meta Manager
Meta Manager is a cost-effective solution for metadata management for both structured and unstructured data. It supports revealing metadata contained within relational database management systems by mapping metadata attributes to a metadata standard. For unstructured data, Meta Manager will crawl directory systems, detect files (all files supported), and automatically extract the metadata for search and discovery. The tool also provides the ability to manually enter metadata that will be consistent across all collections.
[Gartner] defines metadata as “information that describes various facets of an information asset to improve its usability throughout its life cycle. It is metadata that turns information into an asset.”Enabling Interoperability
Metadata Compatbility and Enhancement
Meta Manager provides data providers with the ability to quickly and easily reveal their data holdings and data assets using metadata via Web-based interfaces. It is a metadata management application that provides a complete solution for creating and defining new and/or mapping existing geospatial metadata definitions and geospatial datasets according to national and international standards. These standards include ISO 19115, North American Profile (NAP), Department of Defense Metadata Standard (DDMS) and Dublin Core. But to name a few. If a new or modified existing metadata standard is required, these can be easily added. Connect relational databases, other metadata catalogs and directory-based files both structured and unstructured for metadata augmentation.
