Abstract
Metadata provide information about data, ease access and querying, support well-planned evolution, and allow to reason on data quality. Moreover, heterogeneous data sources are better to integrate if well-defined metadata are available. Therefore, metadata management becomes a crucial element of modern database systems. We develop a component-approach to metadata management. This approach generalises classical data dictionaries and is based on many-dimensional schemata each dimension of it represents a specific facet of the schema.
