Data Governance adds value to the organization when it becomes operationalized and focused on providing improved business outcomes. People in the organization acknowledge Data Governance success when they see results based on how the formalized program operates.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s webinar, where he will focus on how to operationalize Data Governance based on your program’s purpose and demonstrate value through the communications of business outcomes. New ways to operationalize Data Governance and engage data stewards will be highlighted.
Bob will discuss :
• What it means to operationalize Data Governance
• How to link Data Governance to business outcomes – both good and bad
• Program operations designed to provide business outcomes
• Using the program purpose to demonstrate value
• Ways to engage your stewards through their job function
RWDG Slides: Stay Non-Invasive in Your Data Governance ApproachDATAVERSITY
There are three distinct approaches to implement Data Governance. The Command-and-Control Approach, the Traditional (if you build it they will come) Approach and the Non-Invasive Data Governance Approach. Some organizations select a single approach for their program while others select to follow a hybrid method.
Bob Seiner will provide information about each approach and indicate how the Non-Invasive Approach can follow the path of least resistance with the greatest success. You may be surprised to learn that many of your present activities can be leveraged to address Stewardship, Metadata, and governed processes – all directed at staying as non-invasive as possible.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
- A Data Governance framework completed in a Non-Invasive way
- How the three approaches differ and when to use each
- Sticking to a single approach versus implementing a hybrid model
- How to sell Data Governance as something you are already doing
- Using the Non-Invasive Approach to win friends and influence people.
RWDG Slides: Achieving Data Quality with Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
To improve Data Quality, organizations must focus on improving three data-related activities – the definition, production, and usage of the data. Formalizing accountability for these activities strengthens the stewards’ ability to influence improvements in the quality of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner and his guest, Anthony J. Algmin, will share examples of how organizations have focused their Data Governance programs on achieving improvements in Data Quality. The delivery of the program must advocate and enhance the delivery of standards, validation, reporting, and data value improvement. You may be surprised by how that delivery can be simplified.
In this webinar, Bob will talk about:
• The relationship between Data Governance and Data Quality
• The activities of defining, producing, and using data
• Stewards influencing improvements in Data Quality
• Standardization and validation of data through Data Governance
• Simplifying Data Governance’s purpose toward Data Quality
RWDG Slides: Applying Governance to Business ProcessesDATAVERSITY
This document discusses applying governance to business processes. It begins by defining key terms like data governance, data stewardship, and non-invasive data governance.

ADV Slides: Increasing Artificial Intelligence Success with Master Data Manag...DATAVERSITY
Companies all over the world are going through a digital transformation now, which in many cases, is all about maturing the data environment and the use of data. Master data is key to this effort. All transformative projects require master data and usually many subject areas. Current efforts to deliver master data to the enterprise are cumbersome, inefficient, and met with limited acceptance.
We’ll look at enterprise use cases of artificial intelligence and show the master data that is needed. We’ll see what some MDM vendors are doing with AI and how the future of MDM will be shaped by looking at some specific MDM actions influenced by AI.
DataEd Slides: Approaching Data Governance StrategicallyDATAVERSITY
At its core, Data Governance (DG) is: managing data with guidance. This immediately provokes the question: Would you tolerate your data managed without guidance? (In all likelihood, your organization has been managing data without adequate guidance and this accounts for its current, less-than-optimal state.) This program provides a practical guide to implementing DG or recharging your existing program. It provides your organization with an understanding of what Data Governance functions are required and how they fit with other Data Management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary prerequisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective Data Governance/Stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy. Program learning objectives include:
• Understanding why Data Governance can be tricky for organizations due to data’s confounding characteristics
• Strategy No. 1: Keeping DG practically focused
• Strategy No. 2: DG must exist at the same level as HR
• Strategy No. 3: Gradually add ingredients
• Data Governance in action: storytelling
ADV Slides: Building and Growing Organizational Analytics with Data LakesDATAVERSITY

In this webinar, William will discuss the value of having broad, detailed, and seemingly obscure data available in cloud storage for purposes of expanding Data Science in the organization.
RWDG Slides: Building a Data Governance RoadmapDATAVERSITY
A Data Governance roadmap is typically based on the results of a best practice assessment. The assessment defines the outcomes required to achieve Data Governance best practices while the roadmap details the “actionable streams” required to formalize a Data Governance program and achieve those outcomes.
In this month’s webinar, Bob Seiner will share the process he follows to build a Data Governance roadmap of actionable streams and the steps required to complete the streams. In addition, Bob will describe the activities that are common to most organizations getting started or evaluating the success of their program.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar include:
• Criteria for defining best practices
• Using the assessment results to build the roadmap
• Examples of repeated actionable streams
• The role of the program administrator in executing the roadmap
• Communicating the roadmap to the stakeholders
RWDG Webinar: Build Your Own Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY

RWDG Slides: Data and Metadata Will Not Govern ThemselvesDATAVERSITY
There is a direct relationship between the value your organization gets from its data, the trust your organization has in its data, and how formally that data is being governed. This is not new news. In fact, this has always been the case.
Join Bob Seiner for the RWDG webinar to kick off the year, where he will discuss how data does not naturally or automatically increase in value or become more trusted without a resolute effort. That effort focuses on governance. The webinar will focus on the effort that must be orchestrated at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels of the organization to demonstrate value and gain the trust of the people at all levels.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
• How governance applies equally to data and metadata
• The meaning of a “resolute effort” to govern important assets
• How the governance of data and metadata increases their value
• The people who must be held formally accountable for data and metadata
• Communicating the webinar’s title with people who can make a difference
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.
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 “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (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 Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric

Roles and responsibilities are the foundation of a successful Data Governance program. An operating model of roles focuses on all levels of the organization including the executive, strategic, tactical and operational responsibilities. A complete model also includes roles that support the program.
In this month’s RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will present a proven Operating Model of Data Governance Roles & Responsibilities that can be applied to the existing culture of any organization. This webinar may be the most important webinar of the year because of its impact on the rest of your data governance program.
In this webinar Bob will share information about:
The Operating Model as a pyramid diagram
Three different approaches to stewardship
Five distinct levels of responsibilities
Who is expected to participate at each level?
What will be “the ask” of these people?
Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
A metadata framework delivers an improved understanding of metadata and how it is structured to improve the value of data. The development of a metadata framework must be easy to replicate for all of the critical data elements of the organization. The framework must also relate to the use of business glossaries, data dictionaries, and data catalogs.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share a framework that can be applied in every organization. The framework he will share can be created for yourself and is reusable for all of the critical data elements in your organization. You will walk away from this webinar thinking about how to apply the framework to your organization’s most important metadata.
ADV Slides: What Happened of Note in 1H 2020 in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
Reassessing the information management marketplace for your enterprise direction on an annual basis is too infrequent. The technology is changing too fast. Data and analytic maturity levels rapidly evolve. What is advanced today may be entry-level in two years. Let’s look at the high points for 1H 2020 in information management developments and how that may change what you are doing now. This can also be a strong data point for preparing 2021 budgets.
RWDG Slides: Data Architecture Is Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data Architecture and Data Governance are the same thing! Aren’t they?
Most people would say that this line of thinking is absurd — or even worse. There is NO WAY that they are the same thing. Or are they?
This RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner and his special guest Anthony Algmin looks at the disciplines of Data Governance and Data Architecture and explores how much they are the same … and how they are different. The speakers will let you draw your own conclusion, but they will get you thinking about whether Data Architecture and Data Governance are two sides of the same coin.
In this webinar, Bob and Anthony will discuss:
• What is meant by the saying two sides of the same coin … and how it relates
• The similarities between Data Architecture and Data Governance
• The differences between the two
• How to use Data Architecture to sell Data Governance … and the other way around
• Deciding if the two disciplines are the same … or different
RWDG Slides: Glossaries, Dictionaries, and Catalogs Result in Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
If you have the discipline to develop, deliver, and maintain a business glossary, data dictionary, and/or a data catalog, you may already have the makings of a Data Governance program. The roles required to deliver these assets can translate to successful Data Governance in several ways.
In this month’s webinar, Bob Seiner will highlight the aspects of delivering these valuable business assets that result in formal Data Governance. It is practical that your program recognize existing efforts to formalize the definition, production, and usage of data.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar:
• How glossaries, dictionaries, and catalogs add value
• What should be included in these assets
• Who has responsibility for these assets
• When these assets will be valuable to your organization
• Where the discipline results in Data Governance
Trends in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
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.
DataEd Slides: Unlock Business Value Using Reference and Master Data Manageme...DATAVERSITY
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 from a master/transaction perspective. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for organizational transactions – its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (1/3 succeeding on-time, within budget, achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach involving typically Data Governance and Data Quality activities. Program learning objectives include:
• Understanding foundational reference and MDM concepts
• Why they are an important component of your Data Architecture
• Awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
• What consists of MDM guiding principles and best practices
• How to utilize Reference and MDM in support of business strategy
RWDG Slides: The Stewardship Approach to Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the stewardship approach to data governance. It describes how everybody who defines, produces, or uses data is a data steward. Rather than assigning data steward roles, the stewardship approach recognizes the existing responsibilities that people have. This reduces the invasiveness of data governance initiatives. The document provides guidance on engaging different types of data stewards based on their relationships to data and leveraging their existing responsibilities. It also addresses how the large number of stewards impacts the complexity of data governance programs and how best to deal with accountability.
RWDG Slides: Data Governance and Three Levels of Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
There are three levels of metadata that every organization must govern well. These levels are the semantic level, the business level, and the technical level. All three levels are important components of Data Governance and must be stewarded to focus on the goals and scope of your Data Governance program.
In this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series, Bob Seiner will present a three-tiered approach to defining, producing, and using all levels of metadata to further the cause of Data Governance. Governing the processes associated with this metadata tends to be a central focus of successful Data Governance programs. Join Bob to learn how to simplify the metadata focus.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
• The three levels of metadata and how they differ
• Sources of the metadata at each level
• Metadata linkage between the levels
• Processes to govern all the levels of metadata
• Institutionalizing policy to assure quality metadata at all levels
This document summarizes a webinar on data-centric development. It introduces Malcolm Chisholm, the Chief Innovation Officer at First San Francisco Partners, who has over 25 years of experience in data management. The webinar discusses how traditional development methodologies like Waterfall and Agile are not well-suited for data-centric projects. It proposes a new Data-Centric Development Life Cycle that is more iterative and focuses on data quality. The webinar also discusses how to apply data modeling and governance best practices to make projects more data-centric. It provides a case study of how these techniques helped a large data warehouse project.
Real-World DG Webinar: A Data Governance Framework for Success DATAVERSITY
A Data Governance Framework must include best practices, a practical set of roles & responsibilities for Data Governance built specifically for your organization, a plan for communicating with the entire organization and an action plan for applying governance in effective and measurable ways.
Join Bob Seiner for this Real-World Data Governance webinar as he discusses how to stay practical and work within the culture of your organization to develop and deliver a Data Governance Framework to meet your specifications and the business’ expectations.
This session will focus on:
Defining a Non-Invasive Operating Model of Roles & Responsibilities
Clearly Stating the Difference between Executive, Strategic, Tactical, Operational & Supporting Roles
Defining Data Stewards, Data Stewardship and How to Steward the Data
Recognizing & Identifying People into Roles Rather than Handing them to People as New Responsibilities
Leveraging the Framework to Implement a Successful Data Governance Program
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
A worthwhile Data Governance framework includes the core component of a successful program as viewed by the different levels of the organization. Each of the components is addressed at each of the levels, providing insight into key ideas and terminology used to attract participation across the organization. A framework plays a key role in setting up and sustaining a Data Governance program.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share two frameworks. The first is a basic cross-reference of components and levels, while the second can be used to compare and contrast different approaches to implementing Data Governance. When this webinar is finished, you will be able to customize the frameworks to outline the most appropriate manner for you to improve your likelihood of DG success.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss and share:
- Customizing a framework to match organizational requirements
- The core components and levels of an industry framework
- How to complete a Data Governance framework
- Using the framework to enable DG program success
- Measuring value through the DIY DG framework

RWDG Slides: Data and Metadata Will Not Govern ThemselvesDATAVERSITY
There is a direct relationship between the value your organization gets from its data, the trust your organization has in its data, and how formally that data is being governed. This is not new news. In fact, this has always been the case.
Join Bob Seiner for the RWDG webinar to kick off the year, where he will discuss how data does not naturally or automatically increase in value or become more trusted without a resolute effort. That effort focuses on governance. The webinar will focus on the effort that must be orchestrated at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels of the organization to demonstrate value and gain the trust of the people at all levels.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
• How governance applies equally to data and metadata
• The meaning of a “resolute effort” to govern important assets
• How the governance of data and metadata increases their value
• The people who must be held formally accountable for data and metadata
• Communicating the webinar’s title with people who can make a difference
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.
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 “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (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 Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric

Roles and responsibilities are the foundation of a successful Data Governance program. An operating model of roles focuses on all levels of the organization including the executive, strategic, tactical and operational responsibilities. A complete model also includes roles that support the program.
In this month’s RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will present a proven Operating Model of Data Governance Roles & Responsibilities that can be applied to the existing culture of any organization. This webinar may be the most important webinar of the year because of its impact on the rest of your data governance program.
In this webinar Bob will share information about:
The Operating Model as a pyramid diagram
Three different approaches to stewardship
Five distinct levels of responsibilities
Who is expected to participate at each level?
What will be “the ask” of these people?
Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
A metadata framework delivers an improved understanding of metadata and how it is structured to improve the value of data. The development of a metadata framework must be easy to replicate for all of the critical data elements of the organization. The framework must also relate to the use of business glossaries, data dictionaries, and data catalogs.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share a framework that can be applied in every organization. The framework he will share can be created for yourself and is reusable for all of the critical data elements in your organization. You will walk away from this webinar thinking about how to apply the framework to your organization’s most important metadata.
ADV Slides: What Happened of Note in 1H 2020 in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
Reassessing the information management marketplace for your enterprise direction on an annual basis is too infrequent. The technology is changing too fast. Data and analytic maturity levels rapidly evolve. What is advanced today may be entry-level in two years. Let’s look at the high points for 1H 2020 in information management developments and how that may change what you are doing now. This can also be a strong data point for preparing 2021 budgets.
RWDG Slides: Data Architecture Is Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data Architecture and Data Governance are the same thing! Aren’t they?
Most people would say that this line of thinking is absurd — or even worse. There is NO WAY that they are the same thing. Or are they?
This RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner and his special guest Anthony Algmin looks at the disciplines of Data Governance and Data Architecture and explores how much they are the same … and how they are different. The speakers will let you draw your own conclusion, but they will get you thinking about whether Data Architecture and Data Governance are two sides of the same coin.
In this webinar, Bob and Anthony will discuss:
• What is meant by the saying two sides of the same coin … and how it relates
• The similarities between Data Architecture and Data Governance
• The differences between the two
• How to use Data Architecture to sell Data Governance … and the other way around
• Deciding if the two disciplines are the same … or different
RWDG Slides: Glossaries, Dictionaries, and Catalogs Result in Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
If you have the discipline to develop, deliver, and maintain a business glossary, data dictionary, and/or a data catalog, you may already have the makings of a Data Governance program. The roles required to deliver these assets can translate to successful Data Governance in several ways.
In this month’s webinar, Bob Seiner will highlight the aspects of delivering these valuable business assets that result in formal Data Governance. It is practical that your program recognize existing efforts to formalize the definition, production, and usage of data.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar:
• How glossaries, dictionaries, and catalogs add value
• What should be included in these assets
• Who has responsibility for these assets
• When these assets will be valuable to your organization
• Where the discipline results in Data Governance
Trends in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
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.
DataEd Slides: Unlock Business Value Using Reference and Master Data Manageme...DATAVERSITY
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 from a master/transaction perspective. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for organizational transactions – its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (1/3 succeeding on-time, within budget, achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach involving typically Data Governance and Data Quality activities. Program learning objectives include:
• Understanding foundational reference and MDM concepts
• Why they are an important component of your Data Architecture
• Awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
• What consists of MDM guiding principles and best practices
• How to utilize Reference and MDM in support of business strategy
RWDG Slides: The Stewardship Approach to Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the stewardship approach to data governance. It describes how everybody who defines, produces, or uses data is a data steward. Rather than assigning data steward roles, the stewardship approach recognizes the existing responsibilities that people have. This reduces the invasiveness of data governance initiatives. The document provides guidance on engaging different types of data stewards based on their relationships to data and leveraging their existing responsibilities. It also addresses how the large number of stewards impacts the complexity of data governance programs and how best to deal with accountability.
RWDG Slides: Data Governance and Three Levels of Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
There are three levels of metadata that every organization must govern well. These levels are the semantic level, the business level, and the technical level. All three levels are important components of Data Governance and must be stewarded to focus on the goals and scope of your Data Governance program.
In this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series, Bob Seiner will present a three-tiered approach to defining, producing, and using all levels of metadata to further the cause of Data Governance. Governing the processes associated with this metadata tends to be a central focus of successful Data Governance programs. Join Bob to learn how to simplify the metadata focus.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
• The three levels of metadata and how they differ
• Sources of the metadata at each level
• Metadata linkage between the levels
• Processes to govern all the levels of metadata
• Institutionalizing policy to assure quality metadata at all levels
This document summarizes a webinar on data-centric development. It introduces Malcolm Chisholm, the Chief Innovation Officer at First San Francisco Partners, who has over 25 years of experience in data management. The webinar discusses how traditional development methodologies like Waterfall and Agile are not well-suited for data-centric projects. It proposes a new Data-Centric Development Life Cycle that is more iterative and focuses on data quality. The webinar also discusses how to apply data modeling and governance best practices to make projects more data-centric. It provides a case study of how these techniques helped a large data warehouse project.
Real-World DG Webinar: A Data Governance Framework for Success DATAVERSITY
A Data Governance Framework must include best practices, a practical set of roles & responsibilities for Data Governance built specifically for your organization, a plan for communicating with the entire organization and an action plan for applying governance in effective and measurable ways.
Join Bob Seiner for this Real-World Data Governance webinar as he discusses how to stay practical and work within the culture of your organization to develop and deliver a Data Governance Framework to meet your specifications and the business’ expectations.
This session will focus on:
Defining a Non-Invasive Operating Model of Roles & Responsibilities
Clearly Stating the Difference between Executive, Strategic, Tactical, Operational & Supporting Roles
Defining Data Stewards, Data Stewardship and How to Steward the Data
Recognizing & Identifying People into Roles Rather than Handing them to People as New Responsibilities
Leveraging the Framework to Implement a Successful Data Governance Program
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
A worthwhile Data Governance framework includes the core component of a successful program as viewed by the different levels of the organization. Each of the components is addressed at each of the levels, providing insight into key ideas and terminology used to attract participation across the organization. A framework plays a key role in setting up and sustaining a Data Governance program.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share two frameworks. The first is a basic cross-reference of components and levels, while the second can be used to compare and contrast different approaches to implementing Data Governance. When this webinar is finished, you will be able to customize the frameworks to outline the most appropriate manner for you to improve your likelihood of DG success.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss and share:
- Customizing a framework to match organizational requirements
- The core components and levels of an industry framework
- How to complete a Data Governance framework
- Using the framework to enable DG program success
- Measuring value through the DIY DG framework
RWDG Slides: Build an Effective Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
Data Governance frameworks are used to structure the core components of a Data Governance program. Frameworks add significant value for those organizations getting started and improve or address missing components for programs already in place.
This month’s RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner will focus on dissecting a common Data Governance framework and customizing the framework to match the needs of your organization. Frameworks can be complex to describe but, in this case, the framework will become the self-describing face of your program.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- A customizable Data Governance framework
- Five core components of a Data Governance framework
- Five perspectives for addressing each component
- Using a framework to select an approach to Data Governance
- Detailed descriptions of each component from each perspective
Data Governance Roles as the Backbone of Your ProgramDATAVERSITY
The method you follow to form your Data Governance roles and responsibilities will impact the success of your program. There are industry-standard roles that require adjustment to fit the culture of your organization when getting started, gaining acceptance, and demonstrating sustained value. Roles are the backbone of a productive Data Governance program.
Bob Seiner will share his updated operating model of roles and responsibilities in this topical RWDG webinar. The model Bob uses is meant to overlay your present organizational structure rather than requiring you to try and plug your organization into someone else’s model. This webinar will provide everything you need to know about Data Governance roles.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
• An operating model of Data Governance roles and responsibilities
• How to customize the model to mimic your existing structure
• The meaning behind the oft-used “roles pyramid”
• Detailed responsibilities at each level of the organization
• Using the model to influence Data Governance acceptance
RWDG: Measuring Data Governance PerformanceDATAVERSITY
This document discusses ways to measure the performance of a data governance program. It describes measuring the acceptability of the program within the organization, such as the number of groups participating and customer satisfaction. It also describes measuring the business value of the program, like improvements in data documentation, understanding, quality and protection. The document provides examples of specific metrics that can be used, such as the number of critical data elements standardized or dollars saved/earned due to governance. It also discusses reporting metrics at different levels of a data governance framework.
Real-World Data Governance Webinar: Data Governance Framework ComponentsDATAVERSITY
There are several basic components that go into delivering a successful and sustainable data governance program. Many of these framework items can be developed using tools you already own and without going to great expense. Organizations swear by the items that will be discussed in this webinar.

Action Plan / Roadmap to success
RWDG Webinar: The New Non-Invasive Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
Non-Invasive Data Governance is summarized as the practice of formalizing accountability for data and the application of governance to process. Non-Invasive Data Governance describes how data governance is applied to the organization rather than being forced into the environment. A NIDG framework will be introduced in this webinar.
In this month’s installment of the RWDG webinar series, Bob Seiner will present a new data governance framework that addresses the core components of data governance for each level of the organization. The resulting framework can be used for all approaches to data governance.
In this webinar Bob will discuss:
- The five core components of a data governance effort
- The five levels where the core components will be addressed
- Detailed explanation of each component for each level
- A diagram to complete the framework for your organization
- A framework comparison across approaches
Real-World Data Governance: Data Governance Roles & ResponsibilitiesDATAVERSITY
Well thought out data governance roles and responsibilities lie at the heart of successful data governance programs. All activities focus on the roles. From how we recognize stewards and apply governance, to how we engage and communicate with the people in the roles – the roles become the operating model for how governance works.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of the DATAVERSITY Real-World Data Governance webinar series focused on defining an operating model that can be assimilated to your organization. This model includes an easy-to-explain set of roles and responsibilities aligned with how your organization functions.
The session will cover:
Operational, Tactical, Strategic and Support Roles
How to recognize your stewards and other roles
How to apply roles consistently through all facets of your program
Providing incentive for active involvement
The Non-Invasive Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is already taking place in your organization. The actions of defining, producing and using data are not new. People in your organization have, at a minimum, an informal level of accountability for the data they use. The Non-Invasive Data Governance framework provides a method to formalize accountability based on people’s existing responsibilities.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of his Real-World Data Governance webinar series where he will provide a detailed framework for how to implement a Non-Invasive Data Governance program. This hour will be spent walking through the five most important components of a successful program described from the perspectives of the executive, strategic, tactical and operational levels of your organization.

RWDG Slides: Utilize Governance Working Teams to Improve Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance working teams are typically formed with a specific purpose or function in mind. Teams are deployed to address enterprise-wide data issues, business function issues and operational issues. These teams are made up of the “right” people to solve the “right” problem at the “right” time. It is that easy. Or is it?
In this month’s RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share his experiences building working teams to improve how data is governed. Bob will talk about setting up the teams, ways to get resources to commit their time, and how to leverage their participation in a non-invasive manner.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
- When to make use of working teams
- How to construct a working team for a specific purpose
- Differences between working teams and communities of interest
- Monitoring and reporting on working team status
- How to deliver successful and repeatable problem-solving teams
RWDG Slides: Master Data Governance in ActionDATAVERSITY
Master data is data essential to operations in a specific subject area. Information treated as master data varies from one subject to another and even from one company to another. However defined, one thing for certain is that it does not become master data unless it is governed.
Join Bob Seiner for this RWDG webinar where he outlines a repeatable way to activate your Data Governance program by focusing on your master data initiatives. Get people to trust your data as the “master” by implementing a formal certification process.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
• What makes it Master Data Governance
• Aligning roles and responsibilities with Master Data Management (MDM)
• Qualities of “governed data”
• Governing to a “master” version of the truth
• Implementing Data Governance domain by domain
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices

Providing necessary awareness and communications
Building and improving data understanding
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program
Data Governance & Data Steward CertificationDATAVERSITY
Becoming certified means that you have been provided some form of external review, education, assessment, or audit and that you passed that review. Being certified can make the difference in getting a job or that desirable position. Many people are seeking certification to differentiate themselves from their competition. It makes sense.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to explore the depth of necessity of certification in the field of data governance and the responsibility of the data stewards. Bob will talk about the different certifications available and direct you to the one that is appropriate according to your responsibilities. It may not be as easy as you think. Learn why in this webinar.
In this webinar Bob will talk about:
The Value of Being Certified
Categories of Available Certification
What to look for from Certification
Whether Certification is Right for You
Internal Versus External Certification
RWDG Slides: Governing Your Data Catalog, Business Glossary, and Data DictionaryDATAVERSITY
The document discusses governing data catalogs, business glossaries, and data dictionaries. It describes these tools as core components of a successful data governance program and important at the operational and tactical levels. Governing the metadata in these tools provides value, but requires effort to govern roles, processes, communications, and metrics around these tools. The document advocates a pragmatic approach to governance through these tools to guide participation and knowledge sharing in a community.
The Role of Data Governance in a Data StrategyDATAVERSITY
A Data Strategy is a plan for moving an organization towards a more data-driven culture. A Data Strategy is often viewed as a technical exercise. A modern and comprehensive Data Strategy addresses more than just the data; it is a roadmap that defines people, process, and technology. The people aspect includes governance, the execution and enforcement of authority, and formalization of accountability over the management of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share where Data Governance fits into an effective Data Strategy. As part of the strategy, the program must focus on the governance of people, process, and technology fixated on treating and leveraging data as a valued asset. Join us to learn about the role of Data Governance in a Data Strategy.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A structure for delivery of a Data Strategy
- How to address people, process, and technology in a Data Strategy
- Why Data Governance is an important piece of a Data Strategy
- How to include Data Governance in the structure of the policy
- Examples of how governance has been included in a Data Strategy
Real-World Data Governance: Data Governance ExpectationsDATAVERSITY
When starting a Data Governance program, significant time, effort and bandwidth is typically spent selling the concept of data governance and telling people in your organization what data governance will do for them. This may not be the best strategy to take. We should focus on making Data Governance THEIR idea not ours.
Shouldn’t the strategy be that we get the business people from our organization to tell US why data governance is necessary and what data governance will do for them? If only we could get them to tell us these things? Maybe we can.
Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for this informative Real-World Data Governance webinar that will focus on getting THEM to tell US where data governance will add value. Seiner will review techniques for acquiring this information and will share information of where this information will add specific value to your data governance program. Some of those places may surprise you.

Data at the Speed of Business with Data Mastering and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Do you ever wonder how data-driven organizations fuel analytics, improve customer experience, and accelerate business productivity? They are successful by governing and mastering data effectively so they can get trusted data to those who need it faster. Efficient data discovery, mastering and democratization is critical for swiftly linking accurate data with business consumers. When business teams can quickly and easily locate, interpret, trust, and apply data assets to support sound business judgment, it takes less time to see value.
Join data mastering and data governance experts from Informatica—plus a real-world organization empowering trusted data for analytics—for a lively panel discussion. You’ll hear more about how a single cloud-native approach can help global businesses in any economy create more value—faster, more reliably, and with more confidence—by making data management and governance easier to implement.
What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

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 world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” 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 organization’s 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
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 doesn’t 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. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
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 – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
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 – not just react – 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 – 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
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.
Emerging Trends in Data Architecture – What’s the Next Big Thing?DATAVERSITY
With technological innovation and change occurring at an ever-increasing rate, it’s hard to keep track of what’s 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.
Data Governance Trends - A Look Backwards and ForwardsDATAVERSITY
As DATAVERSITY’s RWDG series hurdles into our 12th year, this webinar takes a quick look behind us, evaluates the present, and predicts the future of Data Governance. Based on webinar numbers, hot Data Governance topics have evolved over the years from policies and best practices, roles and tools, data catalogs and frameworks, to supporting data mesh and fabric, artificial intelligence, virtualization, literacy, and metadata governance.
Join Bob Seiner as he reflects on the past and what has and has not worked, while sharing examples of enterprise successes and struggles. In this webinar, Bob will challenge the audience to stay a step ahead by learning from the past and blazing a new trail into the future of Data Governance.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Data Governance’s past, present, and future
- How trials and tribulations evolve to success
- Leveraging lessons learned to improve productivity
- The great Data Governance tool explosion
- The future of Data Governance
Data Governance Trends and Best Practices To Implement TodayDATAVERSITY
1) The document discusses best practices for data protection on Google Cloud, including setting data policies, governing access, classifying sensitive data, controlling access, encryption, secure collaboration, and incident response.
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 you’re in, you’re 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 “Can you help me with our data strategy?” 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: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” 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 –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” 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. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s 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 – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” 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 “the business” 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.
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.
Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies
Observe the Difference in Differences between ‘year’ >= 2000 & ‘year’ <2000
Observe the outcome from multiple linear regression by considering all the independent variables & the interaction term

Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.
