About the course.

The course aims to give students knowledge of how to plan, implement and control access to high-quality integrated metadata. They should also learn to understand and master the definitions, models and data flows used to explain how the purpose and value of data change during its life cycle. The goal is that students, through theory and practical exercises, develop specialised knowledge of how to introduce metadata into data files to make information easier to find. They should also learn how metadata is used for searching for information that lets users see the life cycle changes of the data it describes. Students should develop skills in collecting and organising metadata in such a way that it describes the physical location and flows of information in the organisation's computer systems, as well as the meaning and purpose of each dataset with regard to the organisation's business goals.
