Metadata management capabilities add to extensive data management features
Englewood Cliffs, NJ - May 28, 2004 - Data Foundations, Inc today announced the general availability of Release 3 of OneData™. OneData and the accompanying Standard Data Foundation methodology enable organizations to standardize data definitions, values and structures, and help manage any collaboratively managed data set.
The new release includes new features and significant enhancements in several areas, in addition to a thorough redesign of the user interface. A major area of enhancement has been support for metadata management. The flexible and completely data-driven architecture of OneData enables it to provide full extensibility to the model as well as the meta-model.
Core data management functionality has been enhanced, with numerous data delivery options and sorting, editing, and controlling features. The user interface has been significantly improved, with the interface reorganized based on the potential usage and audience. Additional reporting capabilities provide increased capability to report on both data as well as metadata. Interfacing capabilities abound, including support for Web Services, Java Messaging Service (JMS), and IBM’s Websphere Business Integrator (WBI).
The associated OneData methodology provides a starting point and a well-defined roadmap to embark on this enormous task of standardizing Common Data entities and values throughout the organization. The software and the methodology provide the ability and encourage starting small, such as at a departmental or subsidiary level, and extending the scope gradually.
