SCOPE OF THIS PAPER

This document focuses on forming a community of interest from industry, academia, and government, intending to develop a standards roadmap for Big Data Governance and Metadata Management (BDGMM). The approach includes the following:

• Review BDGMM-related technology trends, use cases, general requirements, and reference architecture;

• Gain an understanding of what standards are available or under development that may apply to BDGMM;

• Perform standards, gap analysis, and document the findings; and

• Document vision and recommendations for future BDGMM standards activities that could have a significant industry impact.

Within the multitude of best practices and standards applicable to BDGMM-related technology, this document focuses on approaches that: (1) apply to situations encountered in BDGMM; (2) explore best BDGMM architectures that may be nonexistent, and (3) facilitate addressing BDGMM industry use cases' needs.
