What is the MAST Methodology?

Developed by Aristotle Metadata through years of research, the MAST Methodology stands for Metadata - Analysis - Standards - Teamwork. It provides clear, discrete beliefs and behaviors for data governance across the organisation. By building pragmatic processes for documenting and governing metadata, it enhances data understanding over time.

Beliefs: Prerequisites for any data governance program.
Behaviors: Actions that can be taken to improve data governance, even when time is limited.
Processes: Operational methods that evolve and strengthen data understanding.
