A director claims the metadata program is complete because every major system has an entity-relationship diagram on a shared drive. What gap should the CIMP practitioner highlight?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An ERD is a blueprint of the building, not the whole facilities program. You still need a glossary of terms, lineage of pipes, ownership contacts, and ops signals that say what is fresh. Diagrams help—they do not finish metadata management.
Full Explanation
Data models are necessary metadata artifacts but are not a complete metadata management program. Full programs also govern business glossaries, lineage, ownership, catalog curation, and operational quality signals that consumers use daily. Treating ERDs on a shared drive as completion ignores those layers. Catalogs, stewardship, and certification remain required regardless of diagram coverage.
