The Solution Design and Integration unit (ISGIS) of ISG serves the needs of a large and diverse group of Bank staff, clients, and the public in information management, business process solutions, and value added e-business. The solutions supported by ISGIS include myPortal, Enterprise Search, the Operations Portal, Client Connection, the Intranet, the External Web, Business Intelligence and Planning, and Document and Records Management.

These are; Web & Document Management Services; Web Development; Platform & Design Services; Business Intelligence; Operations Products; and Information Management Products.
The Metadata Support function plays a critical role both within ISP (Internet Service Program) and overall architecture of the bank's information systems. It provides Metadata Management services for all websites to ensure the quality and value of information produced and disseminated by the World Bank. This will include working with different teams and underlying systems to enable integration across web sites, institutional repositories, and ultimately improve enterprise-wide search and repurposing of content.
Note: If the selected candidate is a current Bank Group staff member with a Regular or Open-Ended appointment, s/he will retain his/her Regular or Open-Ended appointment. All others will be offered a 2 year renewable term appointment.
Duties and Accountabilities

The on-site Metadata Team is an advocate for institutional needs and public user requirements which must be balanced with business unit requirements. As a member of this team, the selected candidate will provide analytical and documentary services including, but not limited to, the areas listed below.
ISP Metadata Support (including New Web Sites or Site Enhancements)

• make recommendations to ensure that new entities are defined in such a way that is sustainable, and compatible with the institutional definitions of content types and core attributes, when appropriate.

What does P-2 mean?
For many of you it will be obvious, but perhaps some of you are not acquainted with the UN Common System of Job Classification. Basically we have General Service positions (G-1 to G-7)and Professional positions (P-1 to P-5). For equivalence we would say that a P-2 is a junior professional, P-3 an established professional and P-4 a senior professional. P-5 are chiefs of section. There are also Director levels and political positions (ASGs and USGs), but that's another matter...
For a professional position the requirements are a Master's Degree (MA) and a variable amount of experience related to the level.
This system is common to all the UN system (UN Secretariat, UNICEF, UNFCCC,...) but also used by other organizations (OSCE amongst others). It is maintained by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC): http://icsc.un.org/
