Metadata is information that travels with the raw data that provides context, provenance, security, authorship, controls, and indexing.
The number of ways that you can expand the use of data is controlled by adding metadata. It creates a change in how we look at and manage data. Instead of creating control systems that contain the data, it’s actually packaged the control infrastructure, or the data control plane, as part of the data so that all of the systems can participate in it.
We also talk about data mesh a lot in that context.

Rob’s Hot Take:
In the Cloud 2030 Podcast episode from January 19th, Rob Hirschfeld discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with metadata, particularly in the context of managing and sharing data effectively. The conversation explores the concept of packaging raw data in a way that makes it available on request without being included, accompanied by metadata detailing its provenance, access permissions, context, and even expiration dates. Hirschfeld emphasizes the importance of building a data control plane to navigate the complexities of data consumption and production, envisioning a future where metadata plays a crucial role in weaving together diverse data sources. Listeners are encouraged to explore the full 40-minute discussion for comprehensive insights, and to join ongoing conversations at the2030.cloud.
