An analysis of the benefits and issues in the development of an Enterprise Data Catalogue

Purpose – The purpose of this case study is to examine the rationality for taking an enterprise approach towards metadata’s development. It outlined and discussed the benefits and challenges involved from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Methodology – The data for this case study is collected through a one on one interview method. The findings were discussed and analysed with other literature. Findings – Taking an enterprise wide approach towards the development of metadata offers both short-term and long-term benefits to the Ministry. In particular, the short-term benefits include efficiency in time to answer, re-use and re-purposing of existing information. The long-term benefits are the ability to operate at a strategic level with its data and information. On the other hand, the different level of understanding towards the concept of metadata at present, in addition to a lack of a clear guardianship from a data perspective has lead to challenges in gaining a level of active contribution and ongoing maintenance. This report suggested that it is essential for the Ministry to maintain a constant marketing style of communication to promote the understanding of the metadata and to incorporate the principle of data stewardship in managing the component of metadata mapping. Value – This case study provides value by explaining the concept and outlining the key benefits and issues involved to those organisations discovering the topic of metadata management for the first time. This case study adds additional value by offering rare insights into taking an enterprise approach towards the development of a business metadata, offering practical learning and suggestions for other organisations that are embarking on a similar journey

Estágio profissional em Business Intelligence na ANA aeroportos

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de InformaçãoUm aeroporto possui diferentes sistemas de informação para apoiar e desenvolver as suas atividades. Através da adoção de Business Intelligence (BI) é possível maximizar a utilidade da informação recolhida e o suporte aos processos de decisão do negócio, obtendo uma visão integrada do negócio e disponibilizando rapidamente informação relevante para o decisor. Assim, a ANA Aeroportos utiliza a plataforma SAP BusinessObjects que permite aos utilizadores o acesso, criação e partilha de conteúdos, como relatórios ou dashboards, de modo a preencher as suas necessidades de informação, bem como ultrapassar a fragmentação de informação derivada da dispersão geográfica das suas unidades de negócio e das várias áreas de atividade existentes no Grupo ANA. Neste trabalho é descrito o estágio efetuado na equipa de BI da ANA, através de um enquadramento teórico, da descrição das atividades desenvolvidas, bem como as conclusões retiradas desta experiência e algumas sugestões para projetos futuros.In order to support its everyday activities an airport has different information systems. It is possible to maximize the value of their information output through the adoption of Business Intelligence (BI), which provides an integrated view over the organization while enabling decision makers to quickly access relevant information. The SAP BusinessObjects platform is used by ANA Aeroportos to overcome a fragmented informational landscape derived from its geographically dispersed business units and multisectorial activities, while also giving its business users the possibility to access, create and share content, such as reports or dashboards, in order to fulfill their information needs. The activities executed during the internship with ANA Business Intelligence team are described in this paper, along with a theoretical contextualization. The main conclusions gathered from this experience and some future projects suggestions are also highlighted

Metadatenmanagement in Bibliotheken mit KNIME und Catmandu

This thesis deals with metadata management in libraries. It examines to what extent the tools KNIME and Catmandu can be used to support libraries in typical tasks of metadata management. The technical developments in the field of metadata have become more complex due to the multitude of formats, interfaces, and applications. In order to prepare and use metadata, information about the suitability of different programs is needed. KNIME and Catmandu are both theoretically analyzed and practically tested. For this purpose it is examined, among other things, how the documentation is designed, and which data formats and interfaces are supported. Typical tasks like filtering, analysis, content enhancement, and data enrichment will be tested. The work shows that both tools have different strengths and weaknesses. Catmandu's strength is an easier introduction into the program and a variety of options for using library data formats and interfaces. An advantage of KNIME is that after an initial familiarization many problems can be solved quickly and special features are made available for numerous cases
