As the range of data platforms is rapidly evolving, the goal of this research project is to investigate and prototype upcoming architectures and technologies and to assess their applicability and potentials for industrial enterprises.

While there are many concepts, techniques and tools for metadata management, most focus on sub-aspects, e.g., metadata management with semantic technologies. There is no common understanding of what comprehensive metadata management in an enterprise entails and how it can be implemented. It is the goal of this project to design concepts and techniques for comprehensive metadata management across the entire enterprise data landscape.
