Metadata that keeps evidence trustworthy
Revision, part, project, supplier, source location and lifecycle phase are the minimum fields that let a system and a reviewer tell current evidence from superseded evidence.
Without these fields, a fluent answer can be accurate about the wrong revision or the wrong project, and no one will notice until a late-stage review.
Metadata discipline is a data-governance task, not an AI task; it pays off even without any AI in the process.
PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE
- 01Define the minimum metadata schema before ingestion.
- 02Reject or flag evidence missing required metadata.
- 03Audit metadata completeness on a schedule.
