Metadata governance is a critical concept in modern data-driven organizations, particularly in Brazil and Portugal where LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) compliance is mandatory. The term is predominantly used in corporate IT environments, financial services, and government institutions. In Brazilian Portuguese, 'governança' is the preferred term in formal business contexts, reflecting the influence of English corporate terminology, while 'gestão' may be used in more technical or operational contexts.
