Technical Communicators who begin working with
content management systems, knowledge bases, portals,
data warehouses, or information retrieval systems
discover they are expected to know how to work with
metadata. Metadata is “data about data.” It can
describe data or content (databases, data modeling, data
access and reporting, data movement, data stewardship,
data quality);organizations (business rules, process
stewardship, data users, project management); content
management and information retrieval (document
properties, revision and change control, reference and
navigation, document standards); and business
intelligence (decision support, competitive intelligence).
Metadata management can positively impact productivity and the quality of web and documentation projects. View all 2240 works published by STC Proceedings |

Abstract: Technical Communicators who begin working with
content management systems, knowledge bases, portals,
data warehouses, or information retrieval systems
discover they are expected to know how to work with
metadata. Metadata is “data about data.” It can
describe data or content (databases, data modeling, data
access and reporting, data movement, data stewardship,
data quality);organizations (business rules, process
stewardship, data users, project management); content
management and information retrieval (document

intelligence (decision support, competitive intelligence).
Metadata management can positively impact productivity and the quality of web and documentation projects.
