Metadata Harvesting

Storing and retrieving vast amounts of unstructured data presents financial and logistical barriers to extracting value from that data. Metadata harvesting allows you to transform unstructured data into a structured, queryable resource by automatically extracting metadata from large, complex datasets and unlocking the information you need, regardless of its original format.

OVERVIEW

Bring structure to unstructured datasets

Metadata — data about data — is the key to accessing the intelligence that's obscured by the inherent lack of structure of the data in which it's contained. It brings context and meaning to unstructured data, making it easier to find, organize, and use

Accelerate data discovery

Enable efficient searching and retrieval of relevant information within vast amounts of unstructured data.

Organize with a metadata catalog

Facilitate the categorization and structuring of unstructured data for better management with metadata cataloging and tagging.

Open up deep analysis

Enable deeper insights and trends to be derived from unstructured data through metadata analysis.

BENEFITS

Manage storage efficiently

Extract metadata from unstructured data and make it available in a catalog to support rapid queries and minimize direct file access, instead of indefinitely retaining large data volumes. Place the original files or digital artifacts in deep archive storage to reduce expensive active storage utilization.

Boost searchability

Tag metadata based on relevant criteria e.g., event types, timestamps, locations, objects, or alerts. Quickly retrieve data by specific identifiers without reviewing large volumes of information. Leverage third-party recognition software to scan data before archiving, allowing for metadata tagging of relevant individuals or other data. This approach enhances efficiency while optimizing IT costs by reducing active storage requirements and streamlining data retrieval.

Panzura Symphony and GRAU DATA MetadataHub enable metadata mastery

Ensure data integrity and maintain audit trails

Include digital signatures, hash values, and tamper-evident logs in the metadata. These measures ensure admissibility in legal proceedings and compliance with regulatory standards.
