Metadata Metadata provides context about data assets. In Datazenx, metadata includes: Governance Entities Governance entities define rules and accountability, such as: Workflows Workflows automate governance and data transformations, metadata updates, validations, and reviews. They ensure consistency and traceability across data activities. Together, these concepts allow Datazenx to move beyond data storage and enable data trust and accountability at scale.
