Sidestnd: Metadata Resource Management and Usage

Why is it so difficult to implement metadata solutions that work today, tomorrow and years from now?

Your controlled vocabularies drift. Category lists become inconsistent across systems. Schema migrations break everything. Meanwhile, your data outlives the applications that created it - but the metadata context gets lost.

Sidestnd is built to handle this reality. Using proven publishing practices, it's designed for organizations where standardization is a gradual journey, not a big-bang project. It does not solve all enterprise data management problems but it provides a strong foundation that organisations can rely on for many years.

The Sidestnd Advantage

Sidestnd is a cloud-based publishing system for organising, sharing and using metadata resources. It will help you do the following:

  • Support end-to-end processes: from resource management all the way to access and use by production systems;
  • Balance centralization with flexibility: support for different manifestations and versions while working towards enterprise-wide standards;
  • Rely on guaranteed, unchangeable content that eliminates the "which version?" question forever;
  • Leverage a pub-sub mechanism to handle distribution challenges;
  • Use as a JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant MCP server for your AI tooling and a generic REST server for other interactions;
  • Benefit from advanced features like federation and private contexts that are part of paid tiers for enterprise users.

Sidestnd is opinionated and has a "just enough features" approach. Perhaps paradoxically, it is this focus that gives Sidestnd the best chance of long-term success. No more forced migrations that break hyperlinks. Yay!
