Managing Metadata : SQL Server 2005 Meta Data Samples Toolkit

Meta Data is an area where a lot of customers are looking for a solution. SQL Server 2005 components specifically Integration Services, Analysis Services and Report Model capabilities in Reporting Services provide a mechanism to bridge multiple backend sources for either data integration purposes, analysis purposes or reporting purposes. The question comes when a need to understand data lineage or dependencies between the data is required. In this case, this recently posted Metadata Samples Toolkit aims to provide that information to the BI team.

I have not had a chance to look into it in detail yet. I do plan to very soon and will share the details as soon as I do.

Happy New Year everyone!!
