Problem

Tag duplication

In content classification scenarios, the metadata "tags" often are duplicated - i.e. a user creates a new tag that is the same as (or similar -to) an existing tag. This problem arises when users do not have good visibility of the existing tag portfolio during workflows.
Solved by these Interventions
Introduce Information Governance
Introduce tools, processes and guidelines to support the curation of high value information assets. This is a fundamental requirement to enable automation and low cost of incremental innovation.
Technologies used
Library Science
Introduce centralized metadata management
Create or rationalize existing metadata repositories into a centrally managed metadata system, so that humans and machines can both refer to a single version of the truth.
Technologies used
Graph databases
Improved by these Interventions
Launch a knowledge graph platform
A knowledge graph platform, complete with an API and Webhooks, integrated with core business processes, is a common intervention used to increase speed to market.

Prevented by these Capabilities
Ability to manage all metadata in a Single Subject View (SSV)
"Single Subject View" is where assets and information adhere to one view of subject, or classification, across the entire enterprise. No matter where information is created, modified, or consumed, there is one version and identifier approach for the subject matter involved.
Workflow that supports high quality metadata management
Easy management of your "single source of truth"
Reference Data is managed centrally
The business manages its reference data rigorously in a central location so that there is one source of the truth
Strong information governance
Leads to these Problems
Low value content tagging
Poor user journeys
Poor quality content tagging
Inability to drive meaningful user experiences with data
Caused by these Problems
Important Business Data is isolated in Data Silos
Poor editorial metadata tagging tools
Stakeholders cannot visually explore core business data

Digital Media Metadata Maturity Model
Stage 1: Basic Metadata - Maturity Stage
Assets have simple, unstructured "Tags" used to power free-text search and can aggregate/group the assets. This level offers no information for machines or humans beyond free-text search and basic collections.
