Meta Integration is a proud gold sponsor
of the 2013 Enterprise Data World (EDW) / Metadata Conference in San Diego, California, April 28th - May 2nd, 2013.
Meta Integration will be part of the exhibits
(on Tuesday April 30th from 4pm to 7pm
and on Wednesday May 1st from 1pm to 4pm)
in support of our numerous partners at the conference.
In addition, Christian Bremeau and John Friedrich will provide presentations as part of the:
on the following topic:
"
The big picture of Metadata Management for Data Governance & Enterprise Architecture"
Too many pretty pictures of Enterprise Architecture (EA) diagrams have been designed
from the top down perspective which unfortunately do not reflect the actual IT infrastructure.
Similarly, too many Business Glossaries (BG) have been left empty or disconnected
from the existing Data Modeling initiatives, and the rest of the Enterprise Architecture.
Finally, too many Data Governance (DG) initiatives have been pushed
by idealistic IT managers (and the vendors themselves) as brand new initiative and technology,
rather that integrated with data standardization, Master Data Management (MDM),
and of course Metadata Management (MM).
The big picture must support both business users in their daily activities
within the business applications or Business intelligences reports,
and the IT engineers for the life cycle change management
within their Data Modeling, Data Integration (DI/ETL),
and Business Intelligence (BI) design and development tools.

The need for data movement and data integration solutions is driven
by the fact that data is everywhere underneath business applications.
The same applies for metadata: metadata is also everywhere underneath the various tools involved in
database and software development (data & object modeling),
data integration (EAI, ETL, EII), data warehousing, and business intelligence.
Meta Integration® Model Bridge (MIMB)
is the most complete metadata transformation and integration solution on the market.
The strong collaboration with our partners
is allowing MITI to provide an unprecedented level of detailed metadata integration,
covering metadata standards, such as
CWM, and the latest trends from leading ETL, OLAP & BI vendors,
in particular the transformation of expressions from ETL, EII, OLAP and BI tools, opening new doors
for version management driven lineage & impact analysis
in a multi-vendor environment.
MIMB also supports change management and updates of complex metadata, in particular in the filed of business intelligence.
|
The Metadata Integration (MI) solution is:
- based on the Meta Integration® Model Bridge (MIMB) web application enterprise edition
- for: enterprise tool integration, tool forward/reverse engineering on change management, and legacy tool migration
- with: unlimited users, and unlimited (all) import and export bridges
- includes: Automatic Scripting capabilities, Model Browser with Metadata Profiling, and Model based Metadata Reporter, Diagram Visualizer, Graphical Lineage Analyzer
Step 1: Import
|
Step 2: Subset
|
Step 3: Browse
|
Step 4: Diagram
|
Step 5: Lineage
|
Step 6: Export
|
MIMB is also available as OEM Metadata Components embedded in popular ETL, BI, MM or modeling tool, or as a metadata harvesting or metadata integration servers.
For example, the MIMB technology has been embedded (OEM) by various software vendors like
CA in data modeling,
Informatica in ETL data integration,
IBM in Business Intelligence, and metadata management solutions.
MIMB offers the largest amount supported tools with the highest level of detailed metadata (click each import or export link for bridge documentation and mapping specifications):

Metadata Management (MM) has considerably evolved from its original Data Dictionary, Data Registry, Data Standardization and Metadata Repository roots.
Today, MM solutions are the critical component behind modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Data Governance (DG) initiatives.
Indeed MM is at the heart of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions, and in fact a key component of any Master Data Management (MDM) initiative.
Recently, Gartner has positioned Metadata Management in 4th position of its Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2008
(see reports from
ZDnet,
Search CIO,
Manufacturing Computer,
Computer World)
Understanding the complex data flow lineage
in today's multi vendor enterprise architecture
is key to explain where data is coming from
in critical business reports.
In fact, this provides the information traceability answers
for the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act compliance.
Understanding the complex data flow in the other direction provides
the key impact analysis for proper change management in the enterprise architecture.
|
The Metadata Management (MM) solution is:
- based on the Meta Integration® Repository (MIR) web application enterprise edition
- for: data flow and semantic flow with lineage and impact analysis, data governance, data standardization, data dictionary, vocabulary, semantic, ontology, enterprise architecture, life cycle management, change management.
- with: unlimited users, and unlimited (all) import bridges
- includes: Graphical Lineage Analyzer, Business Lineage and Impact Analyzer, Enterprise wide Metadata Search Engine and Reporter, Enterprise Configuration Management, Metadata Stitcher, Metadata Configuration Manager, Automatic and Scheduled Metadata Harvester, Metadata Mapper, LDAP User Integration, Role based business and technical web user interface, Role based Metadata Security Manager.

The Metadata Versioning (MV) solution is:
- an Add-on to MM/MIR for unlimited enterprise version and configuration management going beyond "just the current production version"
- for: historical configuration analysis of previous versions (Sarbanes-Oxley and BASEL II compliance), configuration planning and integration testing of future versions ("What If" scenarios, Impact of Change, Life-Cycle and Change Management), and enterprise level management of multiple distinct and/or complementary repository metadata configurations
- with: unlimited versioning and repository configurations
- includes: Version Manager, Configuration Version Manager, Version Migrator

The Metadata Authoring (MA) solutions include the following Web enabled integrated toolset:
- Business Glossary Editor or metadata registry for business users as defined by the ISO-11179 standard for Data Governance and Data Standardization
- Business Data Documenter or limited model editor to allow business users to fully document physical metadata automatically extracted from live data stores such as RDBMS and Big Data
- Semantic Lineage Mapper from the Business Glossary to the Conceptual/logical Models, all the way to the Physical Models of the data stores, DI/BI
- Data Flow Mapper for business users and subject matters to define mapping specifications from structural mapping (tables/entities and columns/attributes) to advanced mapping (lookups, joins, filters)
- Business Rule Editor for business users to enrich their mapping specifications with business rules from simple code mapping to complex reusable business rules
- Enterprise Architecture Builder for top down design of an IT Configuration with Data Flow and Semantic Semantic for Enterprise Architecture
