Pattana Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tsugu Fukano) has released "[Best Practices Guide for Metadata Management] A Guide to Designing and Managing Metadata to Prevent Data Siloing," a practical guide for creating a state where anyone can use data without confusion by preventing the black-boxing of data scattered within a company.
This document focuses not on the data itself, but on "metadata" (data about data) which gives it meaning. It unravels the best practices of metadata management, from its importance to concrete design and management methods, and operational rules for establishing it on-site.

Background of the Release: The data exists, but can't be used. The cause is the "absence of metadata."
"The numbers on the dashboard are off, but I don't know who created it or with what calculation logic." "It takes new team members days just to find the data they need." While the adoption of data analysis platforms and BI tools is progressing, screams like these are rising from the front lines.
The biggest reason is that "metadata" is not properly maintained. Metadata is the "instruction manual for data," indicating "when it was created, by whom, and what it means." Data without it is like an unlabeled can; you don't know what's inside until you open it (or even after you check).
This document explains the know-how of "metadata design and management" in an easy-to-understand manner, not overly technical, so that even business departments can understand how to resolve the chronic issues of data siloing and individual dependency, and make data catalog tools truly functional.
