Abstract

Today’s business environment is information dependent. As the need for information and the possibility of what can be done with it grows, and businesses expand their information systems beyond organizational and geographic boundaries, it is increasingly important that information and thus metadata be properly managed. There is a growing awareness that the value to be gained from the integration of the metadata that exists within or between organizations is an important asset. In order to benefit from the integration of heterogeneous metadata we propose a unified repository - a meta-information warehouse.
