 taversity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=166&proposalid=16674\nCollecting metada
 ta for your business, whether you use a catalog or a spreadsheet, is essent
 ial for organizing and understanding your data estate. It provides context 
 such as source, structure, ownership, and usage, making data easier to find
  and trust. Well-defined metadata helps improve data governance, data quali
 ty, and data context, turning your metadata repository into a powerful tool
  for data discovery and decision-making.&nbsp;This session will share succe
 sses and challenges of metadata collection and approaches that worked and t
 hose that may not.\n\n	Start by identifying&nbsp;willing players.\n
 Develop an approach with an open mindset for change.&nbsp;Be flexible!\n
 Persistence pays off; keep moving towards the end goal.\n
 Do you really need a data steward?\n	Use AI and catalogs when possible.\n\n
