Metadata has the potential to impact nearly every part of your enterprise. From helping you connect data across business processes to holding the key to your most valuable assets, this underdog data is finally getting the attention it deserves.
But, according to a Dataversity report on Metadata, nearly a third of organizations have only begun to address managing this valuable data and a quarter have no metadata strategy at all.
Part of what has held organizations back is that metadata is notoriously sneaky data to manage, and even more difficult to put into action using traditional relational database technology.
This webinar will look at the critical importance of metadata and highlight mission critical metadata apps that have taken a new approach with enterprise NoSQL technology and semantic data models.
Organizations including commercial entities, intelligence agencies, and some of your favorite entertainment companies using this approach have made good on the promise of metadata, and this webinar will cover how you can make metadata the hero in your organization.

Data Architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. Without proper structure and efficiency in organization, data assets cannot be utilized to their full potential, which in turn harms bottom-line business value. When designed well and used effectively, however, a strong Data Architecture can be referenced to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems commonly encountered in organizations.
The goal of this webinar is not to instruct you in being an outright Data Architect, but rather to enable you to envision a number of uses for Data Architectures that will maximize your organizationās competitive advantage. With that being said, we will:
Discuss Data Architectureās guiding principles and best practices
Demonstrate how to utilize Data Architecture to address a broad variety of organizational challenges and support your overall business strategy
Illustrate how best to understand foundational Data Architecture concepts based on āThe DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledgeā (DAMA DMBOK)
Data architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. It is your data architecture that organizes your data assets so they can be leveraged in your business strategy to create real business value.Ā Even though this is important, not all data architectures are used effectively. This webinar describes the use of data architecture as a basic analysis method. Various uses of data architecture to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems will be demonstrated. As opposed to showing how to architect data, your presenter Dr. Peter Aiken will show how to use data architecting to solve business problems. The goal is for you to be able to envision a number of uses for data architectures that will raise the perceived utility of this analysis method in the eyes of the business.

DataEd Slides: Data Modeling is FundamentalDATAVERSITY
Ā
Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business worldās consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: āBig Data,ā āNoSQL,ā āData Scientist,ā and so on. Few realize that any and all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, Data Modeling is not an optional task for an organizationās data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important are the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates Data Modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology depends.
Business Value Through Reference and Master Data StrategiesDATAVERSITY
Ā
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions ā the master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach, typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning Objectives:
ā¢ Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK)
ā¢ Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
ā¢ Gain awareness of reference and MDM frameworks and building blocks
ā¢ Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
ā¢ Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy
Emerging Trends in Data Architecture ā Whatās the Next Big Thing?DATAVERSITY
Ā
Digital Transformation is a top priority for many organizations, and a successful digital journey requires a strong data foundation. Creating this digital transformation requires a number of core data management capabilities such as MDM, With technological innovation and change occurring at an ever-increasing rate, itās hard to keep track of whatās hype and what can provide practical value for your organization. Join this webinar to see the results of a recent DATAVERSITY survey on emerging trends in Data Architecture, along with practical commentary and advice from industry expert Donna Burbank.
Trends in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
Ā
This document summarizes trends in enterprise analytics presented by William McKnight. It discusses the increasing importance of data and analytics for businesses. Key trends include greater use of data lakes, multi-cloud strategies, master data management, data virtualization, graph databases, stream processing, self-service analytics, and the rise of roles like Chief Data Officer. Data science and analytics skills will become more operational. Selection of big data platforms will consider factors like SQL support, data size, and workload complexity. Overall, data maturity correlates strongly with business success and organizations must continually advance to remain competitive.
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turns allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational Data Quality concepts based on āThe DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledgeā (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving Data Quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor Data Quality
Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of Data Quality success
Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Ā
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organizationās data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates
Application development (Data first, code first, object first)
Data Systems Integration & Business Value PT. 3: Warehousing Data Blueprint
Ā
Certain systems are more data focused than others. Usually their primary focus is on accomplishing integration of disparate data. In these cases, failure is most often attributable to the adoption of a single pillar (silver bullet). The three webinars in the Data Systems Integration and Business Value series are designed to illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three DM disciplines (pie wedges) in order to provide a solid foundation.
Integrating data across systems has been a perpetual challenge. Unfortunately, the current technology-focused solutions have not helped IT to improve its dismal project success statistics. Data warehouses, BI implementations, and general analytical efforts achieve the same levels of success as other IT projects ā approximately 1/3rd are considered successes when measured against price, schedule, or functionality objectives. The first step is determining the appropriate analysis approach to the data system integration challenge. The second step is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Turns out that proper analysis at this stage makes actual technology selection far more accurate. Only when these are accomplished can proper matching between problem and capabilities be achieved as the third step and true business value be delivered.
Data-Ed Online: Making the Case for Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Ā
This document provides an overview of data governance and outlines the keynote presentation by Dr. Peter Aiken on making the case for data governance. The presentation covers data management concepts, defines data governance, explains why it is important, outlines 5 requirements for effective data governance, and discusses data governance frameworks and best practices. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of data governance and how it fits within overall data management.
Becoming a Data-Driven Organization - Aligning Business & Data StrategyDATAVERSITY
Ā
More organizations are aspiring to become ādata driven businessesā. But all too often this aim fails, as business goals and IT & data realities are misaligned, with IT lagging behind rapidly changing business needs. So how do you get the perfect fit where data strategy is driven by and underpins business strategy? This webinar will show you how by de-mystifying the building blocks of a global data strategy and highlighting a number of real world success stories. Topics include:
ā¢How to align data strategy with business motivation and drivers
ā¢Why business & data strategies often become misaligned & the impact
ā¢Defining the core building blocks of a successful data strategy
ā¢The role of business and IT
ā¢Success stories in implementing global data strategies

Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions ā the master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach, typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning Objectives:
ā¢ Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK)
ā¢ Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
ā¢ Gain awareness of reference and MDM frameworks and building blocks
ā¢ Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
ā¢ Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy

Trends in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
Ā
This document summarizes trends in enterprise analytics presented by William McKnight. It discusses the increasing importance of data and analytics for businesses. Key trends include greater use of data lakes, multi-cloud strategies, master data management, data virtualization, graph databases, stream processing, self-service analytics, and the rise of roles like Chief Data Officer. Data science and analytics skills will become more operational. Selection of big data platforms will consider factors like SQL support, data size, and workload complexity. Overall, data maturity correlates strongly with business success and organizations must continually advance to remain competitive.
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turns allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational Data Quality concepts based on āThe DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledgeā (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving Data Quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor Data Quality

Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Ā
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organizationās data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.

Data Systems Integration & Business Value PT. 3: Warehousing Data Blueprint
Ā
Certain systems are more data focused than others. Usually their primary focus is on accomplishing integration of disparate data. In these cases, failure is most often attributable to the adoption of a single pillar (silver bullet). The three webinars in the Data Systems Integration and Business Value series are designed to illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three DM disciplines (pie wedges) in order to provide a solid foundation.
Integrating data across systems has been a perpetual challenge. Unfortunately, the current technology-focused solutions have not helped IT to improve its dismal project success statistics. Data warehouses, BI implementations, and general analytical efforts achieve the same levels of success as other IT projects ā approximately 1/3rd are considered successes when measured against price, schedule, or functionality objectives. The first step is determining the appropriate analysis approach to the data system integration challenge. The second step is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Turns out that proper analysis at this stage makes actual technology selection far more accurate. Only when these are accomplished can proper matching between problem and capabilities be achieved as the third step and true business value be delivered.

The Business Value of Metadata for Data GovernanceRoland Bullivant
Ā
In todayās digital economy, data drives the core processes that deliver profitability and growth - from marketing, to finance, to sales, supply chain, and more. It is also likely that for many large organizations much of their key data is retained in application packages from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others. In order to ensure that their foundational data infrastructure runs smoothly, most organizations have adopted a data governance initiative. These typically focus on the people and processes around managing data and information. Without an actionable link to the physical systems that run key business processes, however, governance programs can often lack the āteethā to effectively implement business change.
Metadata management is a process that can link business processes and drivers with the technical applications that support them. This makes data governance actionable and relevant in todayās fast-paced and results-driven business environment. One of the challenges facing data governance teams however, is the variety in format, accessibility and complexity of metadata across the organizationās systems.
Getting Data Quality Right
High quality data is important for organizational success, but achieving good data quality requires a programmatic approach. Data quality challenges are often the root cause of IT and business failures. To improve, organizations need to take a systems thinking approach, understand data issues over time, and not underestimate the role of culture. Developing repeatable data quality capabilities and expertise can help organizations identify problems, determine causes, and prevent future issues. Effective data quality engineering provides a framework for utilizing data to support business strategy and goals.

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business worldās consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: āBig Data,ā āNoSQL,ā āData Scientist,ā and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organizationās data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Ā
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesnāt address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose.

Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta ā Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Ā
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent ā not just react ā to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data ā and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization

2) It provides examples of how to limit access to data and sensitive information, gain visibility into where sensitive data resides, encrypt data with customer-controlled keys, harden workloads, run workloads confidentially, collaborate securely with untrusted parties, and address cloud security incidents.
3) The key recommendations are to protect data at rest and in use through classification, access controls, encryption, confidential computing; securely share data through techniques like secure multi-party computation; and have an incident response plan to quickly address threats.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business youāre in, youāre in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question āCan you help me with our data strategy?ā Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: āCan you help me apply data strategically?ā Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive āparticularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tysonās truism: āEverybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.ā This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals.Ā Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organizationās data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance ā IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
Ā
The question is asked all the time: āWhat part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?ā The typical answers are āthe businessā and āIT (information technology).ā Another answer to that question is āYes.ā The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by āthe businessā when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the data management practices of 175 organizations between 2000-2006. The study had both descriptive and self-improvement goals, such as understanding the range of practices and determining areas for improvement. Researchers used a structured interview process to evaluate organizations across six data management processes based on a 5-level maturity model. The results provided insights into an organization's practices and a roadmap for enhancing data management.

MySQL InnoDB Storage Engine: Deep Dive - MydbopsMydbops
Ā
This presentation, titled "MySQL - InnoDB" and delivered by Mayank Prasad at the Mydbops Open Source Database Meetup 16 on June 8th, 2024, covers dynamic configuration of REDO logs and instant ADD/DROP columns in InnoDB.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
Ā
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or ācognitiveā gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI ā and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques ā could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr indexās metadata.
This approach leverages the LLMās ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

MDM Failure Root-Causes
ā¢ 30% of MDM programs are regarded as failures
ā¢ 70% of SOA projects in complex, heterogeneous environments
had failed to yield the expected business benefits unless MDM is
included
ā¢ Root-causes of failures:
ā 80% percent of MDM initiatives fail because of ineffective leadership,
underestimated magnitudes or an inability to deal with the cultural impact of the
change
ā MDM was implemented as a technology or as a project
ā MDM was an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) or an ERP
ā MDM was an IT Effort
ā MDM is separate to data governance and data quality
ā MDM initiatives are implemented with inappropriate technology
ā Internal politics and the silo mentality impede the MDM initiatives
