Metadata: the secret of efficient standards management

Thanks to metadata, managing, searching and using standards in our Nautos standards management solution is simple, convenient and secure for you.

Why metadata are important in a standards management tool

Efficiency
Metadata such as the title or the issue date make it easier to search for required documents.

Structure
Metadata ensure clear presentation and organization of your standards.

Compliance
Metadata provide a quick overview of the status of your documents and whether they are still up-to-date and valid.

Cataloguing
Metadata support a uniform description and ensure smooth findability.
