3 Things Your Company Can Do With Metadata

Metadata is data that describes data, and it’s used in a variety of digital processes involving analytics. Large companies often use automated metadata management systems to keep track of information across huge databases, but even if you don’t use automated metadata management, metadata is still important for business.

If you’re unsure of how metadata applies to you, below are three things your company can do with it:

1. Segmenting Customers

When organizing customer data, segmenting customers into groups is often a good idea. This allows your marketing team to get a better idea of which groups of customers are interested in which products. With this information, your business can target different customers with personalized marketing and advertising to increase sales.

To do this, you will need to collect metadata and enter it alongside customer profiles after a sale. Always make sure to get consent before collecting and using customer data.

2. Organize Databases More Efficiently

As mentioned above, many large companies use metadata to organize large volumes of information. Databases containing product information, customer records and more can quickly become an unorganized mess when working with hundreds of thousands of pieces of data, and unorganized data can lead to a loss in productivity.

By using metadata to tag different pieces of information, you can then organize and classify this information for faster recall in the future. This can also be helpful if you plan to use contextual search functionality in a database.

3. Improve Data Reporting Accuracy

Metadata can also potentially improve accuracy in data reporting. When dealing with a large amount of unorganized data, you may end up missing something during an analysis. If you don’t have your data tagged and cataloged, it can be difficult to conduct an audit without starting your analysis all over again from the beginning.

By tagging data with metadata, you can compare the results of your analysis against your metadata. If the numbers match, you can have confidence in your analysis. If they don’t match, you can quickly determine what was missed to conduct a faster audit.

so apparently it's not just ao3 that's been having bot problems, but lots of libraries, archives, and other repositories have spent the past few months with their digital infrastructure being overrun by ai crawler bots

The Quiet Power of JSON: Structuring Legal Intelligence at Scale

By Paul A. Jones, Jr. · July 2025 Most people think of JSON as a simple utility — a way to pass data between frontend and backend, or to store structured values in a flexible way. But in building data infrastructure for a complex, rules-driven domain, I’ve come to view JSON as something far more powerful: a foundational medium for scalable intelligence.It’s the gateway to organizing knowledge,…

Security and Compliance with PDQ Docs

Another significant benefit of centralized document management software is the enhanced security it provides. With PDQ Docs, sensitive information is securely stored in a centralized, encrypted system. Access controls can be set to ensure that only authorized personnel can view or edit specific documents, minimizing the risk of data breaches. This is particularly important for businesses in regulated industries, such as healthcare and finance, where compliance with legal requirements and data protection regulations is paramount.
