Practice-Oriented Approaches for Information and Metadata Management in a Content Management System - Learnings from the Smart City Project LOKAL-digital

Metadata play an important role in the organization of information. As data about data, they explain how information relates to one another, in what chronological sequence it arises, or what hierarchical structures can be formed. In the content management system of the smart city project “LOKAL-digital”, metadata is utilized for the structuring of information in the areas of housing, health and care. This paper gives practical approaches for the implementation of metadata management in the development of the information portal and reports on the lessons learned in building the knowledge management solution. The use of metadata for structuring and searching content is discussed in various use cases.
