Rapid Battle Cards 25–36
25. As Designed vs As Implemented Lineage
Designed = intended mapping/specification.
Implemented = actual production code/processing.
26. Metadata Coverage vs Metadata Quality
Coverage = how much in-scope Metadata exists.
Quality = how correct, consistent, useful, and trustworthy the content is.
27. Metadata Coverage vs Usage
Coverage = existence/representation.
Usage = actual adoption/search/access/use.
28. Metadata Quality vs Currency
Quality = broad fitness/trust.
Currency = whether Metadata reflects the current state; currency is one quality dimension.
29. DQ Tool Metadata vs Business Rule
DQ tool Metadata = profile, validation rule implementation, score, observed pattern.
Business rule = governed meaning/expectation that may drive the DQ rule.
30. Repository Completeness vs Steward Representation
Completeness = assets/elements covered.
Steward representation = scope with accountable Steward roles assigned/documented.
31. Repository Usage vs Glossary Activity
Usage = use of the overall Metadata environment.
Glossary activity = searches, updates, definition resolution, and coverage specifically within glossary content.
32. ISO/IEC 11179 vs Internal Naming Standard
ISO/IEC 11179 = external Metadata Registry / standardized data-element definition and registration framework.
Internal naming standard = organization-specific convention.
33. Unstructured Data vs Metadata
Unstructured content may lack fixed internal schema; Metadata supplies discovery, provenance, security, retention, and lifecycle context.
34. Data-Lake Ingest vs Later Cataloging
Capture minimum Metadata at entry while context is known. Later reconstruction is weaker and may be impossible.
35. Security of Data vs Security of Metadata
Data security protects values/content.
Metadata security protects descriptive/control information that may reveal sensitive asset existence, location, structure, or movement.
36. Governance vs Repository Administration
Governance = decision rights, standards, ownership, quality/security/lifecycle accountability.
Administration = jobs, movement, refreshes, warnings, interfaces, technical issues.
