Abstract:
Governments are quick to acknowledge the central role of data in their transformation plans, but data strategies frequently leave metadata an implicit part of the enabling capability. This presentation explores data and metadata in the Ontario Government’s “Building a Digital Ontario” strategy. Providing perspectives from records management, data integration, cybersecurity, IT strategy, privacy protection, and access to information, the need for quality, standardised metadata is explored.
