(BEST-BACKGROUNDS/Shutterstock) In a rapidly advancing world of technology, one quiet giant is revolutionizing how organizations manage and leverage data: active metadata. As generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) become integral to data management practices, the role of active metadata in the success of these efforts cannot be overstated.

Excluding real estate investment, China's private investment grew 6.5% year-on-year in the first seven months of…
