In recent years, companies and government agencies have come to
realize that the data they use represent a significant corporate
resource, whose cost calls for management every bit as rigorous as
the management of human resources, money, and capital equipment.

"metadata" that describe, catalogue, and provide access to the
various forms of underlying business data. The "metadata
repository" is essential keeping track both of the various physical
components of these systems, but also their semantics. What do we
mean by "customer?" Where can we find information about our
customers?

repository, he has in fact created a true enterprise data model of
the information technology industry itself.
