8. The Meta Grid is the juxtaposition of metadata repositories that are only seemingly very different

I just started your book. When I read it for the first time, I had the impression that I was doing it wrong all this time, and I just talked about it to some friends, and metadata wasn't even a thing for most businesses, so most of us never see this in companies, which was a bit of relief. Now, some companies might start to consider, given the need for context in AI.

I am fascinated by the simplicity and value of this concept. Have you ever had a business reach out to you about the need for metadata, or is this a problem you offer to solve based on the pain you got from the requirement gathering of the information, just like the scientist example at the beginning of your book?

I have never worked for a company that understood this fully, at the executive level. But it is in fact a very simple problem. It is solvable. And thank you for the kind words, Pastor! Writing the book, talented leaders, architects, and engineers from many organizations reached out to me, saying they were doing exactly what I describe. Gregor Wobbe from UBS didn’t mind being public about it - I see his architecture as a refined Meta Grid.

I used the manifesto to bring attention to the meta grid. Now, I will unfold the laws of the meta grid that I see at play in all companies around the world. I already began in my book, but there is more.
