The Role of Metadata in Managing Content in Unified Portals & AI Readiness

Metadata plays a crucial role in managing and retrieving content within a unified portal, enhancing searchability, distribution, access, and retention.

We will present the key Functions of Metadata:

Search and Discovery: Metadata allows users to search for content using specific criteria such as content type, product category or name making it easier to find relevant information. Consistent metadata tags across systems enable quick pinpointing of the right sources for analysis and visualization.

Distribution: Metadata values are used by applications to determine when and where content should be distributed or shared.

Access and Security: Security measures applied to managed objects are often integrated into the metadata model.

In this session, attendees will learn:

Core Components of Metadata Frameworks:

• Metadata Modeling: Structured standards offer baseline templates of metadata elements for descriptions, which organizations can extend to meet specific needs.
  
• Unified Metadata Foundation: Creating a common metadata foundation delivers insights and intelligence across all data sources.
  
• AI and Machine Learning: Applying AI and machine learning to unified metadata assists and trains AI as a powerful tool for AI based support. This AI training delivers an incredibly powerful AI ready repository that is a foundation for AI related projects such as AI driven chatbots.
