CDMP - META DATA QUESTIONS
1. Critical to the success of the data warehouse is the ability to explain the
data. The DMBok knowledge area that practices these techniques is:
Metadata Management
2. The Metadata repository enables us to establish multiple perspectives of
data. These are:
Business and Technical Perspective
3. The role of the Conceptual data model in the Metadata repository is:
To summarize the key data subject areas for a business area at a high level of
abstraction to enable the major data concepts to be understood
4. Metadata repository processes will not include:
Selecting Data Management Library software, search, and storage technologies
5. A business perspective product in the MetaData repository is:
Data Glossary
6. The role of the Physical data model in the Metadata repository is:
To describe how and where our data is stored in our systems applications or packages
7.
What type of Meta-Data provides developers and
administrators with knowledge and information about systems?
Technical Operational Meta-Data
8. Which of these statements are true about Metadata?
Data models are components of a Metadata repository
9. We would expect to consult the Metadata Library when:
Assessing the impact of change
10. What is the difference between an Industry and a Consensus MetaData
Standard?
The terms are used interchangeably to describe the same concept
11.
These are examples of which type of Meta-Data: Data
Stores and Data Involved, Government/ Regulatory Bodies;
Roles and Responsibilities; Process Dependencies and
Decomposition?
Process Meta-Data
12. We do not expect to consult the Metadata repository when:
Updating the operating system that the Master Data management toolset is running on
13. Which of the following is a Meta-Data scheme focused specifically on
documents?
Preservation Meta-Data
14.
The failure to gain acceptance of a business glossary may be due to
ineffective
o Metadata Management
o Content and Document Management
o Business Architecture
o Data Security
o Data Governance
15.
Descriptive metadata describes a resource, enabling its
identification and retrieval
o For example, a lump of coal burns about 100 degrees and gives off carbon dioxide
o For example, a document has a number of pages, number of chapters and word
count
o For example, a record has version numbers, archive dates and purge dates
o For example, a car has a wheel, an engine and a transmission
o For example, a book has author, title and subject associated with it
16.
How does metadata prevent the use of out-of-date data
-
It constructs views over current data
-
Associating of event data, such as updated data, with the data
-
By establishing governance policies on data currency
-
It sends alerts to users when data becomes stale
-
By incorporating event data, such as updated data, in the data model
17.
Well executed metadata management enables:
o A consistent design for dimensional reporting
o A consistent authorization framework
o A consistent understanding of data resources
o A consistent understanding of database design
o A consistent approach to data modelling
18.
here is the best place to find the following metadata: database table
names, column names and indexes?
o Security access authorization
o Detailed business processes
o Enterprise data model
o Logical data model Database catalogue
Data provenance
and data lineage
are examples of:
o Technical
metadata
o Strategic
metadata
o Business
metadata
o Industry
metadata
o Operational
metadata
By setting, enforcing and auditing metadata standards, organisations hope to:
o Provide activities for the data governance office
o Ease of understanding data dictionaries
o Simplify integration and enable use
o Standardize business rules in operational processes
o Ensure the appropriate classification or meta-metadata
The ISO Metadata
W
Registry Standard that
provides a framework
for defining a
metadata registry is:
o ISO MD 1
o ISO / IEC 11179
o ISO 4-20-99
o ISO 9001
o ISO 4590
Discovering and documenting metadata about physical data assets provides:
o an estimation of balance sheet value of enterprise data.
o information on how data is transformed as it moves between systems.
o scoping boundaries of the data dictionary.
o effective project scope management.
o insights into the temporal data quality.
A goal of metadata management is to manage data related business
terminology in order to:
o ensure people understand data definition in BI systems.
o ensure accurate data requirements are gathered for reporting.
o ensure people understand data content and can use data consistently.
o successfully size the database.
o ensure the business processes align to the data model.
Metadata is often categorized into three types, they are:
o business, technical and strategic
o business, strategic and meta-metadata
o operational, reporting and analytical
o business, technical and operational
o technical, infrastructure and instance
The role of Metadata in Data Management is:
o to help organizations understand its data, its systems and its workflows
o to display appropriate data on screens and reports
o to provide effective decision making
o to group common data concepts
o to build a big data solution
Tagging a column as personally identifiable information is an example of:
o Data dictionary
o Metadata
o Data Architecture
o Data Quality
o Data profiling
One of a business data steward's key responsibility is to:
o manage data storage and operations
o manage the calendar of the business data owner
o manage metadata
o Manage Business process implementation
o manage the availability of the business intelligence solution
The search function associated with a document management store is failing
to return known artefacts. This is due to a failure of:
o maintaining appropriate metadata on each document.
o data privacy and confidentiality procedures.
o effective data quality metrics.
o business intelligence implementation.
o maintaining public access to all documents in the document management store.
MDM-the role of physical data model in the metadata repository is.
o Which version of COST software (E.g. SAP) is implemented.
o To describe how and where our data is stored in our systems applications or
packages.
o What the business definitions of data concepts is
o How many master data records are stored in our MDM
o system When the duplicated records where merged.
MDM-Upodating the Metadata repository is the recommended activity during
project close out in SDLC.
o True
o False
