00:00:02,665 --> 00:00:06,425
Let's start by doing an introduction to

2
00:00:06,425 --> 00:00:09,322
metadata. First of all, metadata is

3
00:00:09,322 --> 00:00:11,816
basically data that provides information

4
00:00:11,816 --> 00:00:14,540
about other data. I know this can be a bit

5
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:17,620
abstract, but let's take a look at some

6
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:20,099
examples. For example, if you have a book,

7
00:00:20,099 --> 00:00:22,036
some of the metadata around the book might

8
00:00:22,036 --> 00:00:26,519
be the title, author, number of pages, the

9
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:30,443
genre, ISBN, and so on. A proposal has

10
00:00:30,443 --> 00:00:33,258
metadata such as title, client, amount,

11
00:00:33,258 --> 00:00:37,036
account executive. For a car, the metadata

12
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:41,056
might be the make, the model, the color,

13
00:00:41,056 --> 00:00:43,998
engine size, mileage, and things like

14
00:00:43,998 --> 00:00:47,464
that. So really metadata is information

15
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:51,877
about the data. Now let's talk about

16
00:00:51,877 --> 00:00:54,292
managed metadata. Managed metadata allows

17
00:00:54,292 --> 00:00:57,917
you to manage the metadata in a central

18
00:00:57,917 --> 00:01:00,766
location, which ensures consistency across

19
00:01:00,766 --> 00:01:04,065
the organization and makes sure that

20
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:07,078
everyone uses the same terms, which also

21
00:01:07,078 --> 00:01:15,000
helps with enterprise search and findability inside the organization.
