💡 Introduction
AI is transforming business operations across industries. But the true enabler of AI's power is metadata. With a solid metadata strategy, businesses can unlock automation, insights, and a massive competitive edge.
📁 What Is Metadata?
Metadata is data about data. It gives structure, meaning, and context to information, enabling systems and AI to understand and use data more intelligently.
Think of it as:
• A table of contents for your business data
• A GPS for navigating information
• The context your AI needs to work effectively
