Data Governance & Metadata Repository• EA Data Architect – Micheal Schwartz

– Micheal.Schwartz@ucop.edu

• Initiating research on Metadata Repositories as part of larger Data Governance program– Key sections of metadata repository guideline doc

• Request ITAG members gather some information from their respective campuses & medical centers– Identify “significant” metadata repositories currently

in use. Significant: contains metadata for more than one application/subject, current, etc.

– Identification of metadata tool used (or custom) – Subject Matter Expert contact information

Request for input

• Follow up from last meeting (April 2013): – ACTION: ITAG members to send the definitions of terms,

and how they use that specific term at our respective campus - Standards, Principles

– ACTION: ITAG members to identify if other "assets" should be added to the list, for curation in the EAAF repository and sharing across the UC system. Please include definition (compare/contrast) between each asset type, and if any examples. Current asset list includes: guideline, specification, process/procedure, anti-patterns, security controls, reference architecture, data models, and code samples.

– ACTION: Identify/recommend a tool that would support the variety of our repository needs (submission, workflow, perhaps even communications, etc.)

– ACTION: Consider if we should focus on Standards and principles first, and the rest later, or look at the entire range of assets.
