XML Metadata Recovery

Meta-Data Recovery Planning for XML Implementation

Metadata recovery is a necessary prequisite to any XML-based implementation. Every XML-based initiative that begins with metadata recovery also begins with a clear understanding of the information content of the subject data. This “understanding” becomes a quantifiable measurable property of your organizational metadata. This seminar will focus on understanding the essential set of metadata – this provides a framework for measuring project progress but also by focusing these aspects of an XML-based data engineering challenge, organizations can be assured that they move forward fully equipped with detailed understanding of the nature and meaning of the data structures in question.

Data engineering principals enable us to formulate an approach to these types of challenges using structured techniques – where the form of the problem can be used to guide the form of the solution. The resulting framework-based solution provides a system of ideas for guiding the analyses; a means of organizing the project data and metadata; a data integration priorities decision-making framework and a means of assessing progress toward project goals.

Objectives

Attendees will learn to develop a toolkit of XML-based approaches to data engineering.
Attendees will come away able to design data management components that will help them to
leverage the required XML-based metadata into effective and efficient data delivery solutions.

Attendees will Learn

The key role that metadata engineering plays in XML-based solution development.
How to use metadata recovery technique to prepare for a variety of XML-based projects?
How to prepare the recovered metadata so that it can become a key component in the delivery of information to organizational users?
What is the essential set of metadata required in order to proceed with a verifiable understanding of the existing data assets?
