Data Architecture, Solution Architecture, Platform Architecture — What’s the ...DATAVERSITY
A solid data architecture is critical to the success of any data initiative. But what is meant by “data architecture”? Throughout the industry, there are many different “flavors” of data architecture, each with its own unique value and use cases for describing key aspects of the data landscape. Join this webinar to demystify the various architecture styles and understand how they can add value to your organization.

MDM solutions require tightly integrated capabilities including data modeling, integration, synchronization, propagation, flexible architecture, granular and packaged services, performance, availability, analysis, information quality management, and security. These capabilities allow organizations to extend data models, integrate and synchronize data in real-time and batch processes across systems, measure ROI and data quality, and securely manage the MDM solution.
Activate Data Governance Using the Data CatalogDATAVERSITY
This document discusses activating data governance using a data catalog. It compares active vs passive data governance, with active embedding governance into people's work through a catalog. The catalog plays a key role by allowing stewards to document definition, production, and usage of data in a centralized place. For governance to be effective, metadata from various sources must be consolidated and maintained in the catalog.
Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.

Strategic Business Requirements for Master Data Management SystemsBoris Otto
This presentation describes strategic business requirements of master data management (MDM) systems. The requirements were developed in a consortium research approach by the Institute of Information Management at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and 20 multinational enterprises.
The presentation was given at the 17th Amercias Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2011) in Detroit, MI.
The research paper on which this presentation is based on can be found here: http://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/Publikationen/Zitation/Boris_Otto/177697
1) MDM is the process of creating a single point of reference for highly shared types of data like customers, products, and suppliers. It links multiple data sources to ensure consistent policies for accessing, updating, and routing exceptions for master data.
2) Successful MDM requires defining business needs, setting up governance roles, designing flexible platforms, and engaging lines of business in incremental programs. Common challenges include lack of clear business cases and roadmaps.
3) Key aspects of MDM include modeling shared data, managing data quality, enabling stewardship of data, and integrating/propagating master data to operational systems in real-time or batch processes.
Business Intelligence & Data Analytics– An Architected ApproachDATAVERSITY
Business intelligence (BI) and data analytics are increasing in popularity as more organizations are looking to become more data-driven. Many tools have powerful visualization techniques that can create dynamic displays of critical information. To ensure that the data displayed on these visualizations is accurate and timely, a strong Data Architecture is needed. Join this webinar to understand how to create a robust Data Architecture for BI and data analytics that takes both business and technology needs into consideration.
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.
Master Data Management – Aligning Data, Process, and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as customers, products, vendors, and more. While mastering these key data areas can be a complex task, the value of doing so can be tremendous – from real-time operational integration to data warehousing and analytic reporting. This webinar will provide practical strategies for gaining value from your MDM initiative, while at the same time assuring a solid architectural and governance foundation that will ensure long-term, enterprise-wide success.
Enterprise Architecture vs. Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more. By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships, particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization. Join us for a discussion on how Data Architecture is a key component of an overall Enterprise Architecture for enhanced business value and success.
The document provides an introduction to Christopher Bradley and his experience in information management, along with a list of his recent presentations and publications. It then outlines that the remainder of the document will discuss approaches to selecting data modelling tools, an evaluation method, vendors and products, and provide a summary.
Improving Data Literacy Around Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Data Literacy is an increasing concern, as organizations look to become more data-driven. As the rise of the citizen data scientist and self-service data analytics becomes increasingly common, the need for business users to understand core Data Management fundamentals is more important than ever. At the same time, technical roles need a strong foundation in Data Architecture principles and best practices. Join this webinar to understand the key components of Data Literacy, and practical ways to implement a Data Literacy program in your organization.
The document provides an introduction and background on Christopher Bradley, an expert in data governance. It then discusses data governance, defining it as the design and execution of standards and policies covering the design and operation of a management system to assure that data delivers value and is not a cost, as well as who can do what to the organization. The document lists Bradley's recent presentations and publications on topics related to data governance, data modeling, master data management and information management.
Essential Reference and Master Data ManagementDATAVERSITY
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: its 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:
- Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
- Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
- Gain awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
- Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
- Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy
Data Governance Takes a Village (So Why is Everyone Hiding?)DATAVERSITY
Data governance represents both an obstacle and opportunity for enterprises everywhere. And many individuals may hesitate to embrace the change. Yet if led well, a governance initiative has the potential to launch a data community that drives innovation and data-driven decision-making for the wider business. (And yes, it can even be fun!). So how do you build a roadmap to success?
This session will gather four governance experts, including Mary Williams, Associate Director, Enterprise Data Governance at Exact Sciences, and Bob Seiner, author of Non-Invasive Data Governance, for a roundtable discussion about the challenges and opportunities of leading a governance initiative that people embrace. Join this webinar to learn:
- How to build an internal case for data governance and a data catalog
- Tips for picking a use case that builds confidence in your program
- How to mature your program and build your data community
The first step towards understanding what data assets mean for your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata—literally, data about data—is one of many data management disciplines inherent in good systems development, and is perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood out of the lot. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight, the efficiency of organizational practices, and can also enable you to combine more sophisticated data management techniques in support of larger and more complex business initiatives.
In this webinar, we will:
Illustrate how to leverage metadata in support of your business strategy
Discuss foundational metadata concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK)
Enumerate guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses
This document discusses data governance and data architecture. It introduces data governance as the processes for managing data, including deciding data rights, making data decisions, and implementing those decisions. It describes how data architecture relates to data governance by providing patterns and structures for governing data. The document presents some common data architecture patterns, including a publish/subscribe pattern where a publisher pushes data to a hub and subscribers pull data from the hub. It also discusses how data architecture can support data governance goals through approaches like a subject area data model.

Subscribing to Your Critical Data Supply Chain - Getting Value from True Data...DATAVERSITY
Operational Data Governance is more than a stewardship process for critical Business Assets. As organizations build structure around KPI’s and other critical data, a workflow develops that revolves around the sources and supply chain for that critical data. There can be many aspects to changes and inconsistencies affecting the final results of the supply chain. Inaccurate usage of data can result in audit penalties as well as erroneous report summaries and conclusions.
Is it coming from the correct authoritative source? Has the data been profiled? Has it met it’s threshold?
Gaps in the supply chain from incorrect pathways may lead dead ends or lost sources.
The value of understanding the entire supply chain cannot be overstated. When changes occur at and point, end users can validate that correct business standards, rules and policies have been applied to the critical data within the supply chain. Your organization can rest easy that you are not at risk for exposure due to improper usage, security, and compliance.
Join this webinar to uncover how companies are using data lineage to accomplish data supply chain transparency. You’ll also see the direct value clear data lineage can give to your business and IT landscape today.

Master Data Management (MDM) is a systematic approach to cleaning up customer data so businesses can manage it efficiently and grow effectively. MDM helps businesses achieve a single version of truth about customers. It deals with strategies, architectures, and technologies for managing customer data, known as Customer Data Integration (CDI). Implementing MDM requires gaining commitment from senior management, understanding business drivers and resource requirements, and providing estimates of benefits like reduced costs and increased sales. A pilot project should be proposed before a full implementation to demonstrate value and gather feedback.

Customer relationship management and supply chain managementRohit Kumar
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a model for managing a company's interactions with current and future customers using technology to organize sales, marketing, customer service, and technical support. CRM helps companies identify and reward loyal customers to retain business, acquire new customers through improved marketing efficiency, and enhance customer service to keep customers happy. Effective CRM requires centralizing customer data, supporting mobility, and flexibility to customize the software to user needs.
In the beginning was the Word. What is the “Word”? For the purposes of this article, the “word” is Data or Information. It is the basis of all things.
Why do we pay so much attention to things rather than the information about them? “Things” are what we can see. “Information” or “Data” about things is what we know about them. One thing may have different definitions, and its Information / Data may vary. These ideas really belong in a philosophy course. The better definition you have, the better you understand the thing itself.
Data or Information about things is as important as the things themselves. If you have things but you don’t have information about them, you may have to consider that you don’t really have these things.

Giuseppe Desogus.
The presentation shows an innovative model of integrated workshop on building design. It is aimed at improving the students’ knowledge on the importance of a collaborative approach among both architectural and technical specialists. Such an approach once was adopted only for main architectural works. Nowadays, however, the increasing necessity of both structural (seismic) and energy performances of the buildings requires a more complex approach also in ordinary ones design.
The workshop is part of the course for the master degree in Architecture of the University of Cagliari. It is composed by three modules: Architectural Engineering, Structural Design and Physics Engineering. The single theory modules are less than an half of the semester. Most of the time is dedicated to a practical workshop in which the students are divided into groups and work on a assigned design theme. Last year it was the revisiting of three buildings designed by Mario de Renzi, one of the main architects of Italian modernism. The aim of the workshop is giving the students a first-hand experience on the importance that every choice on the architectural field has on structural and energy performance ones and vice versa.
The results are quite encouraging. The workshop constantly receives positive feedbacks in the students’ evaluation questionnaires and it is above the average rating of the course.
The main strength is the systemic approach that results in outputs that are far beyond what could have been done teaching the same subjects separately. In the future a new module on Building Information Modelling will be added to the workshop. It could give the possibility to better structure and manage the interactions between architectural and technical aspects.

• “In our division any internal unit we cross charge services to is called a Customer”
• “Marketing call Customers Clients”
• “Sales refer to Prospects and Suspects, but to me they all look similar to Customers”
• “We have “Customers” who’ve signed up for a service even though they haven’t yet placed an order – it’s about the Customer status”
This is by no means an unfamiliar dialogue when trying to get agreement on terms for a Business Modelling or Architecture planning exercise. There’s no point in trying to define business processes, goals, motivations and so on unless we have a common understanding on the language of the things we’re describing.
Since Information has to be understood to be managed, it stands to reason that something whose very purpose is to gain agreement on the meaning and definition of data concepts will be a key component. That is one of the major things that the Information Architecture provides.
At its heart, the Information Architecture provides the unifying language, lingua franca, the common vocabulary upon which everything else is based. Each other modelling technique within the complimentary architecture disciplines will interact with each other, forming a supportive; cross checked, integrated and validated set of techniques.
Furthermore. the way in which data modelling is being taught in many academic institutions and it’s perception in many organisations does not reflect the real value that data models can realise. Information Professionals must move away from the DBMS design mentality and deliver models in consumable formats which are fit for many purposes, not simply for technical design.
This talk emphasises the role of Information at the heart of all Enterprise Architecture disciplines & how well formed Information artefacts can be exploited in complimentary practices.

A conceptual data model (CDM) uses simple graphical images to describe core concepts and principles of an organization at a high level. A CDM facilitates communication between businesspeople and IT and integration between systems. It needs to capture enough rules and definitions to create database systems while remaining intuitive. Conceptual data models apply to both transactional and dimensional/analytics modeling. While different notations can be used, the most important thing is that a CDM effectively conveys an organization's key concepts.

Data Modeling Best Practices - Business & Technical ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Modeling is hotter than ever, according to a number of recent surveys. Part of the appeal of data models lies in their ability to translate complex data concepts in an intuitive, visual way to both business and technical stakeholders. This webinar provides real-world best practices in using Data Modeling for both business and technical teams.
Agile & Data Modeling – How Can They Work Together?DATAVERSITY
A tenet of the Agile Manifesto is ‘Working software over comprehensive documentation’, and many have interpreted that to mean that data models are not necessary in the agile development environment. Others have seen the value of data models for achieving the other core tenets of ‘Customer Collaboration’ and ‘Responding to Change’.
This webinar will discuss how data models are being effectively used in today’s Agile development environment and the benefits that are being achieved from this approach.
DAS Slides: Building a Future-State Data Architecture Plan - Where to Begin?DATAVERSITY
This document summarizes a webinar on building a future-state data architecture. It discusses defining data management and identifying current and future hot technologies. Relational databases dominate currently while cloud adoption is increasing. Stakeholders beyond IT are increasingly involved in data decisions. The webinar also outlines key steps to create a data management program, including defining goals, identifying critical data, assessing maturity, and creating a roadmap. An effective roadmap balances business priorities and shows quick wins while building to long term goals.
Data modeling continues to be a tried-and-true method of managing critical data aspects from both the business and technical perspective. Like any tool or methodology, there is a “right tool for the right job”, and specific model types exist for both business and technical users across operational, reporting, analytic, and other use cases. This webinar will provide an overview of the various data modeling techniques available, and how to use each for maximum value to the organization.
This document discusses organizing data in a data lake or "data reservoir". It describes the changing data landscape with multiple platforms for different analytical workloads. It outlines issues with the current siloed approach to data integration and management. The document introduces the concept of a data reservoir - a collaborative, governed environment for rapidly producing information. Key capabilities of a data reservoir include data collection, classification, governance, refinery, consumption, and virtualization. It describes how a data reservoir uses zones to organize data at different stages and uses workflows and an information catalog to manage the information production process across the reservoir.

Paper which discusses the notion that Data is NOT the "new Oil". We hear copious amounts said that Data is an asset, it's got to be managed, few people in the business understand it & so on. The phrase "Data is the new Oil" gets used many times, yet is rarely (if ever) justified. This paper is aimed to raise the level of debate from a subliminal nod to a conscious examination of the characteristics of different "assets" (particularly Oil) and to compare them with those of the 'Data asset".

Peter Aiken introduces the concept of information management and argues that information is a valuable corporate asset that needs to be managed rigorously. The document discusses how the rise of unstructured data poses new challenges for information management. It outlines the dangers of poor information management, such as regulatory fines, damage to brand and reputation, and inability to access the right information to make good decisions. The document argues that smart organizations will implement information governance to exploit their information assets and gain competitive advantages.
Big Data projects require diverse skills and expertise, not a single person. Harnessing large and complex datasets can provide significant benefits for organizations, such as better decision making and new revenue opportunities, but also challenges. Successful Big Data initiatives require the right technology, skilled staff, and effective presentation of insights to decision makers. While technology enables exploitation of Big Data, information management practices and a mix of technical and analytical skills are needed to realize its full potential.

"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras KlobaFwdays
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
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 “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – 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 index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s 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.
