Abstract
The inherent complexity of large-scale information integration efforts has led to the proliferation of numerous metadata capabilities to improve upon project management, quality control and governance. In this paper, we utilize complex information integration projects in the context of SAP application consolidation to analyze several new metadata capabilities, which enable improved governance and control of data quality. Further, we identify key focus areas for shaping future industrial and academic research efforts by investigating certain unaddressed aspects around these capabilities that often negatively impact information integration projects.
