Had a great time this week at the Global Integration Summit in Banff. (The Fairmont Banff Springs is truly one of the world's premiere hotels.) Was very honored when the conference determined (through blended vote of peer reviewers and attendee evaluations) that my description of a metadata implementation for an Integration Competency Center was the best case study - had some formidable competition!
You can read the material in a slightly different format here, in the Fundamentals of Integration Metadata series. I'll see about providing the actual PDF but may take some time and substantively there's really not a difference.
CMDB folks: This case study can be seen as advanced topics in configuration management, what you might start doing after you finish with the basics of applications, servers, databases, and so forth.
I get questions from folks who just stop at the first article that are covered subsequently, please read all four if you want to discuss.
