Level: Intermediate

The BMO Financial Group considers Information Classification and Metadata Management the foundation to support information as a strategic asset for the enterprise. Understanding, using, classifying and maintaining information quality became a challenge in itself. Over the past couple of years a Classification Framework has been developed and implemented that supports the protection of and privacy of information. More efforts are being directed to include other classification domains such as retention and quality, and to inventory all information using such classifications. Our Corporate Metadata Repository acts as the book of reference for all classification and business metadata relevant to sustain the Information Management Program. This session will focus on Metadata Management and Classification components including:

• The importance of Metadata Management
• Classification Domains (Security, Privacy and others)
• Information Life-cycle
• Information Inventory
