O'Reilly Author and Chief Evangelist, PhD Ole Olesen-Bagneux takes a deep dive into the challenges of metadata management in enterprises, and the great potential metadata represents for Artificial Intelligence. 

The reality of metadata management is – crucially – not properly addressed in most tech literature, as well as in the guidance from technology vendors. This is not a result of suspicious intentions, but a natural outcome of what is sought communicated: How technology works. 

However, this leaves out the enterprise context, and accordingly implementations of technologies suffer. For metadata, this is a problem that limits the potential and interplay of the many metadata repositories normally found in an enterprise. 

A great perspective unfolds if we consider metadata repositories more holistically as a stack, giving improved perception of what the IT landscape of an enterprise is truly like. 

Furthermore, this approach solidifies how to craft new metamodels in knowledge graphs, because they meticulously consider the existing mappings of the IT landscape. 

This is the key to unparalleled solid context for Artificial intelligence.
