Metadata Management: understand the concepts and exam cues.

Data about data — the context that makes data understandable and trustworthy.

Metadata Management is the discipline of creating, controlling and delivering metadata — the data that describes other data. It provides the business definitions, technical structures and operational context that make data discoverable, understandable and trustworthy. Without managed metadata, no other discipline can reliably define rules, trace lineage or establish meaning.
