Metadata was yesterday? Not at all. Despite the hype surrounding ChatGPT, machine learning and the like, metadata is by no means obsolete. With metadata, we are laying the foundations today for tomorrow's applications - be it in a Component Content Management System or for a Content Delivery Portal. But what exactly are metadata in the first place? How do the first basic steps of metadata modeling look like? And what can go wrong? We use specific examples to explore the world of metadata: What different metadata classes are there? What values can they have? What are the dos and donts of metadata modeling? 

Takeaways

You will be familiar with different forms of metadata classes and values. You will be able to use your domain knowledge to develop a metadata model. You know the "golden rules" of metadata modeling. You create the basis for tomorrow today.
