Metadata Management Service for Data Monitoring System in the Cloud Computing

In the near future it is likely that many enterprises will store shared resources on internet-based computers which provide services and storage on demand, like a public utility. The computers and their connections are referred to as the Cloud. While the detail of data management within the Cloud is the responsibility of the Cloud Provider, the enterprises have a need to monitor and control their data. This paper introduces a Metadata Management Service for a Data Monitoring System for Cloud-based computing and describes this service in terms of metadata management. In this paper, we overview the Data Monitoring System in the Cloud and detail designed Metadata Management architecture for this Monitoring system. In addition, we define the specific metadata elements for the Metadata Management Service.
