Metadata Management for Data Engineers and Analysts: Fix Data Chaos, Build Scalable Data Catalogs, and Implement Data Governance Fast for Reliable Analytics and Faster Decisions

By ROBERT R. PETTIS

Data Is Everywhere. Trust in Data Is Not.

If your dashboards do not match, your metrics keep changing, or your team spends more time fixing data than using it, you are not alone.

You are dealing with data chaos.

And adding more tools will not solve it.

Modern data systems break when metadata is missing, inconsistent, or unmanaged. Without clear lineage, ownership, governance, and quality controls, even the most advanced analytics platforms become unreliable.

This book shows you how to fix that.
