Metadata is generated practically every time data is accessed in any tool, platform or application. This is a largely untapped resource that is real-time documentation of exactly how, when and why any person in the enterprise uses data from any and all assets available to them. Active metadata is the conversion of these otherwise passive observations into ML-enabled, automated data management.

Data Fabric or Data Mesh: Debate on Deciding Your Future Data Management Architecture
The data mesh is touted as the next-generation data management architecture based on domain-driven, distributed data management. The Data Fabric, on the other hand, does not believe in rip-and-replace and looks to utilize existing data management infrastructure. Organizations looking to evaluate data fabric or the data mesh need practical guidance on the subject. This breakout session will be on an on-stage moderated debate among Gartner analysts who will aim to cover the same.

Workshop: How to Leverage Metadata You Already Have!
The workshop focuses on two areas: justification based on benefits from aggressive, targeted metadata management and using existing metadata from BI, analytics, data science, MDM and integration in your data management future. Metadata is abundant, why is it hard to find, leverage and more importantly fund it? We will show you that "you never met a data you didn't like."
