Preserve Long Term Data Integrity

‘Good’ metadata provides additional context and information about data that makes it more useful, organized, and discoverable.  Good data removes ambiguity, increases data transparency, and helps organizations get more value from their metadata. Media organizations strive to utilise and provide high-integrity metadata.

MetaBroadcast’s Atlas platform is designed to manage descriptive metadata persistently. It incorporates data science techniques and automated processes to ensure data consistency. This is reflected in data schemas that include the necessary descriptive titles and descriptions, standardised formats, contextual information, and structural markups. Atlas uses systematic processes to validate every step of metadata workflows, from ingest, cleansing and normalising to enabling collaboration and publishing of updated content records.

Forward-thinking technology leverages existing standardised capabilities for resource management while identifying opportunities to leverage the efficiencies delivered by machine learning and artificial intelligence. Critical components of a valuable cloud-based metadata management platform include:

• Integration Interfaces
• Metadata Editor
• Metadata Repository
• Search & Discovery Tools
• Taxonomies & Vocabularies
• Governance Features
• Database Tuning
• Security & Authorization

However, the platform becomes more valuable when consistent operational processes are deployed to streamline metadata workflows and eliminate redundant activities and duplicate data purchases. Atlas deployments incorporate and facilitate operational best practices such as: 

• Adoption of metadata standards 
• Creation of a centralized metadata repository
• Maintainance of metadata hygiene.
• Cross-team collaboration
• Monitoring metadata usage and performance

Our capabilities are centered around the understanding that descriptive metadata supports content sales, distribution, discovery and consumption. MetaBroadcast provides a robust approach to metadata management. We apply principles and methodologies to ensure that metadata is collected, organised, and utilised systematically and cost-effectively. Wherever possible, we promote standardisation. We are agnostic as to metadata sources and uniquely focused on your data’s continuous completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
