The biggest change is that\, Managers have to reac t faster. The effect is that our BI systems have to be more flexible\, m ore agile. In addition\, new forms of Reporting and Analytics are being requested by the user community\, such as Operational Analytics\, 360° R eporting\, Exploratory Analysis\, Big Data Analytics\, Self-Service BI\, and semi-structured and unstructured data analytics. All these new requ irements demand that BI systems are developed in a more agile way. One o f the technologies making this possible is Data Virtualization. \;\n \;\nThese sessions focus on Data virtualization when deployed in Bus iness Intelligence systems. The advantages of Data virtualization are ex plained\; products are compared\; application areas are discussed\; and the relationship with related topics\, such as MDM\, Data Governance\, a nd SOA are discussed. \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout DAMA Portland \;\ n \;\nThe Portland Metro Chapter of the Data Administration Managemen t Association is a not-for-profit\, vendor independent\, professional as sociation dedicated to advancing the concepts and practices of enterpris e information and data resource management. \;\n \;\nOur primary purpose is to promote the understanding\, development and practice of ma naging data\, information and knowledge resources as key enterprise asse ts. \;\n \;\nPortland Metro Chapter members\, guests and speakers meet a minimum of six times a year to widen their knowledge base in top ics relevant to information and data resource management.\n\nTags: busin ess intelligence\, DAMA\, DAMA PDX\, Data Virtualization\n\nImported fro m: http://calagator.org/events/1250463671 URL:http://www.damapdx.org/ SUMMARY:DAMA Day 2013 - Data Virtualization in Business Intelligence Syst ems LOCATION:Tiger Woods Center\, Muirfield Room: One Bowerman Drive\, Beaver ton Oregon 97005 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130608T235824Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T113000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T083000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130608T235824Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131207T101853Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250464381 DESCRIPTION:The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking presentations that will make you more successful in your job. In June we take an exciting step away from the hard science topics to ex plore how to be more effective. \;\n \;\nHow many times have you d elivered solutions that were never adopted or fell short in acceptance? If you’ve been around IT and projects long enough\, you will know this t ruth - that success depends on the adoption of new systems\, application s etc. by people. The skills that enable delivery are not the same skil ls that promote acceptance and use. While project management tends to fo cus on delivery of something\, Transition Management (TM) focuses on the people part of solutions. At places like Nike\, transition management is taken very seriously and all major projects have a Transition Manager assigned: \;\n \;\n- Transition Management is a structured approa ch\, and set of tools\, to transition individuals\, teams\, and organiza tions from a current start to a desired future state \;\n \;\n- A leadership competency for enabling change within organization \;\n 3\;\n- A strategic capability designed to increase change capacity and r esponsiveness \;\n \;\nNo matter the project or change size\, Tran sition Management should be always a consideration. Ignore TM at your o wn risk. \;\n \;\nTransition management is more than just a learni ng plan. Done correctly\, TM is a whole lot more. Nike's Transition Me thodology is an evolution of the Bridge's Change Management Model. \ ;\n\n\nTags: data\, DAMA\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1 250464381 URL:http://www.damapdx.org/ SUMMARY:Transition (AKA Change) Management - DAMA PDX (Data Management Us er Group) LOCATION:Con-Way: 2055 NW Savier St\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140908T032212Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140916T113000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140916T083000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140908T032212Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140908T032212Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250466947 DESCRIPTION:The world of Enterprise Information Management is going throu gh a generational change – the emergence of Big Data technologies in par ticular is offering new opportunities\, but also\, perhaps\, posing new risks. One issue that comes up in my discussions fairly regularly is &qu ot\;How should we start with metadata management?"\; Initial metadat a management projects often have often foundered because they are wrongl y scoped\, wrongly structured\, poorly justified or based on unverified assumptions. The addition of new technologies to the mix isn’t going to make this easier. \;\n \;\nIan will put metadata management in con text of changing information management practices and will walk through 10 "\;Best Practices"\; that have proved their worth in creating early success\, with a focus on how each one contributes to project val ue\, or cost reduction. I’ll focus on: \;\n\n \;\nJustifying metad ata management \;\n \;\n \;\nManaging your stakeholders \;\n \;\n \;\nScoping a project \;\n \;\n \;\nMarketing your solution \;\n \;\n \;\nManaging for sustainability \;\n \ ;\n \;\nWorking with vendors \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nMore info rmation and registration available at www.damapdx.org \;\n \;\n 3\;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nIan Rowlands is a VP of Product Managem ent at ASG.

As businesses struggle to come to grips with the dat a tsunami\, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that d irectly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunit ies (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance b usiness unit performance. Unfortunately however\, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approach es. Overall\, poor organizational data management (OM) capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This workshop will cover three lessons as illustrated in examples\, which will help you to establish r ealistic OM plans and expectations\, and help demonstrate the value of s uch actions to both internal and external decision makers. \;\n \; \nAmong others\, you'll walk away with three takeaways: \;\n\n \;\ nThat organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management p ractices must be considered and included as a vital part of your busines s 's strategy. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nWalk before you run with d ata focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data managem ent prerequisites as a foundation\, then build upon that foundation. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nThat there are no silver bullets: Tools alon e are not the answer. Specifying business requirements\, business practi ces and data governance are almost always more important. \;\n \;\ n \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nPeter Aiken\, Ph.D. \, is widely acclaimed as one of the top ten data management authorities worldwide. As a practicing data consultant\, author and researcher\, he has been actively performing in and studying data management for more t han 30 years. Throughout his career\, he has held leadership positions a nd consulted with more than 50 organizations in 20 countries across nume rous industries\, including defense\, banking\, healthcare\, telecommuni cations and manufacturing. He is a highly sought-after keynote speaker a nd author of multiple publications\, including his latest book “Monetizi ng Data Management”.

It produces a simple metric that is easy to communicate to business stakeholders and management in a consistent way\, encouraging IQ conversations where frequently overlook ed or excluded. This technique can be a valuable tool in the hands of D ata Scientists\, Analysts\, and Business Decision-Makers. \;\n \;\ nAbout the Speaker \;\nRodney Schackmann joined Intel in 1993\, with time in IT and business groups\, he joined CQN in 2010 where he is curre ntly a Sr. Staff Information Architect. \;\n \;\nHe is a frequent presenter at Information / Data Quality and Data Governance related conf erences. His history includes software development\, management\, consul ting\, mentoring\, and strategic technical leadership. \;\n \;\nHi s time at Intel has primarily been focused on Key Information efforts — driving cross-organizational teams to better solutions with higher Infor mation Quality results. Rodney currently runs the enterprise-wide Inform ation Quality program for CQN. \;\n \;\n \;\n Session 2 - An In troduction to Round Robin Databases \;\nAs technology professionals\, we see a increasing applications for telemetry\, systems monitoring\, a nd real-time trend analysis. In some situations\, unbounded storage of c ollected measurements may be impractical or unnecessary. Round Robin Dat abases are designed to store and maintain multiple time-series archives at varying resolutions. They employ methods that allow the storage of mo nths or even years of data. \;\n \;\nWe will explore one such tool \, RRDtool\, a project started at the Center for Applied Internet Data A nalysis. At first\, this open source tool helped with collecting and rep orting on internet traffic. Since that time\, it has inspired many other uses and tools. Our goal is to explore the retention decisions\, downsa mpling of data consistent with it's business value\, and how this approa ch is good for solving a specific class of problems. \;\n \;\nAbou t the Speaker \;\nChris Irvine is currently a Technology Consultant a nd founder at Threeprong.com\, specializing in custom workgroup solution s\, B2B integration\, and performance tuning. He is a computer science g raduate of Portland State University with professional experience in sof tware development\, system administration\, and IT management. \;\n&# 13\;\nChris takes pleasure in applying technology to help solve problems for a variety of businesses and non-profits.

We will discuss the educational and skill expe ctations of a data scientist and how those relate to the skills we’ve de veloped as ER Modelers. \;\n \;\nGoing by job descriptions\, data science can easily read like “jack of all trades\, and master of them a ll too”. How do we break that down into something more reasonably achiev able? \;\n \;\nWhat is data science and what is a data scientist? What do they do? \;\n \;\nDo ER Modelers make good Data Scientists ? \;\n \;\nAre the skill sets complementary? \;\n \;\n \; \n \;\n \;\nAnd then we’ll look at some of the basics of text anal ytics\, or extracting information from unstructured text. This won’t be nearly enough detail to make anybody a practitioner\, but we will see se veral of the basic techniques at work and develop a functional mental mo del of some of the techniques. By the time we’re done\, you’ll have been exposed to concepts like: \;\n \;\nTerm-Document Matrix (TDM) \;\nTokenizing \;\nStopword removal (Stopping) \;\nStemming \;\ nAnd as a bonus – we’ll see some Python code for extracting noun phrases \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nBring your questions around thes e topics and let’s get into them. \;\n \;\nOur Speaker \;\nAsok a Diggs is a Data Scientist with Intel Corp. in Hillsboro\, OR.

We have the promise of NOSQL and Applied Data Science to deliver some solutions. In dealing with today's challenges we need so me new and different ways of thinking. Do we still need Conceptual model s? How do they continue to benefit us? What are the limitations of rela tional models\, and how do we overcome them? What are the best strategie s for preparing and presenting data model diagrams to support meaningful conversations with our business partners? How do our data modeling too ls help? How is the data warehouse environment evolving? Are we beyond dimensional models? How do we work with NOSQL tools and schema-less data bases? Do these environments still need data modeling? What is a Data L ake and how do we manage it? \;\n \;\nDr. Gordon Everest will expl ore these questions and provide some insight for dealing with issues sur rounding the role of data modeling in the world we live in today.

There is just too much information out there and traditional reports usi ng tabs\, rows and columns do not paint the whole picture any longer. 3\;\n \;\nVisualization is one key approach to gaining insight from t his mountain of data. Advanced Visualizations Platforms have enabled the use of more dynamic and interactive business graphics\, such as real-ti me dashboards and charts that update automatically as the data changes. It enables knowledge workers to see the trends and patterns (along with gaps and outliers) in the data that are not as easily identified in rows and columns of numbers. Even Data Scientists are leveraging advanced vi sualizations tools to explore\, understand and communicate insights\, al ong with the actions that need to be taken. \;\n \;\nIn this sessi on\, we will explore how advanced visualization tools are being utilized in the era of big data to draw valuable business insights and we will a lso delve into some of the predominant data visualization tools being us ed by Data Scientists. \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\nAmit P.

Bob Nisbet\, Predictive Analytics Certificate Program\, University of California \;\n \;\nThe rise of Predictive Analytics in business w ill generate many opportunities for data managers. The Business Ecosyste m has arrived\, and Predictive Analytics models are the “windows” into u nderstanding its operational complexity. The Operational Data Store (ODS ) is an elaboration of data warehousing design to serve the needs of bus iness data users better (cf. Kent Graziano’s talk). The Analytical Data Mart (ADM) serves an analogous purpose to serve the needs of predictive analytics. Differences between the organization of data in an EDW or ODS and that needed to serve analytics efficiently are discussed. The discu ssion will include some specific data transforms required by analytical algorithms\, and how the “heavy lifting” of their processing can be comm itted to data mart operations. An example of the blending of an ODS and an ADM to serve predictive analytics modeling operations in a Santa Bar bara bank will be presented. \;\n \;\nRegistration (RSVP Required ) \;\nRegister at: http://damapdx.org/index.php?option=com_seminar.&# 13\;\n \;\n• Free for chapter members or employees of corporate membe rs. \;\n• $15 for Non-Members \;\n• $5 for Students with valid s tudent ID \;\n \;\n• Costs help cover refreshments and speaker tra vel costs \;\n• See damapdx.org for the list of Corporate Members \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\n \;\nFor the last 20 years of his career\, Bob was active as a Data Scientist\, initially for AT&\;T\, then for NCR Corporation (after the split in 1996).

Despite that\, people still routinely use Google Docs\, whose corporate owner p romises to sell private data to its customers\, the advertisers. People still store sensitive data in the cloud\, where data breaches are virtua lly inevitable. Avatron launched Air Connect\, an alternative approach t o allowing access of personal data from anywhere. Like Skype\, Air Conne ct employs UDP tunneling to forge a direct connection to a remote comput er\, even if it is behind a stringent firewall or on a dynamic IP addres s. \;\nWe’ll walk through the architecture of Air Connect\, discussin g design decisions made along the way. We’ll talk through the joys and w oes of launching a geeky networking software service on Kickstarter. And we’ll talk about the ultimate demise of the Air Connect service. \;\ n \;\nSpeaker \;\nDave Howell is CEO of Avatron\, a popular mobile app developer. Avatron’s apps include Air Sharing\, the first iPhone ap p that allowed management\, viewing\, and printing of local and remote d ocuments\, Air Connect\, which lets people connect directly and securely to a personal computer without sending data through the cloud\, and Air Display\, which turns a tablet into a computer monitor. Before founding Avatron in 2008\, Dave was a senior software manager at Apple\, where h e contributed to productivity software and professional applications. Da ve joined Apple when the computer company bought the assets of his previ ous company\, Pablo Media. When he’s not leading software teams\, Dave p lays piano in a jazz quartet in Portland.

In response to this\, recent analyst reports h ave revealed a new form of BI architecture known as Governed Data Discov ery. These architectures are immense data structures that\, while able t o address recent needs\, are daunting for even large teams of BI profess ionals to build using traditional methods. However\, with the use of aut omation software\, these structures can be built and maintained by just one person with some data modeling experience. We will go into detail ab out some of the driving factors of Governed Data Discovery and explain h ow leading automation software can enable even small organizations to be nefit from this approach. \;\n \;\nWhat Attendees Will Learn from Presentation: \;\n \;\n \;\nThe different factors driving Gover ned Data Discovery including the Gap between Business and IT. \;\n 3\;\n \;\nWhat is Governed Data discovery?

Maps are a key part of understanding geographically linked data and u tilizing it in decision making. In designing maps\, virtually anyone wi th a computer and an internet connection can be a cartographer – regardl ess of knowledge of principles of spatial data or visual and cartographi c communication best practices. The good news about this democratizatio n of cartography is that everyone is empowered to explore their own data with maps. The bad news is that anyone can make a map. While many map authoring tools help guide the design\, it is still easy to unintention ally (or occasionally intentionally) mislead readers. The variant of th e truth that we find in maps is largely driven by choices that the carto grapher makes in the data collection\, cleaning\, analysis\, and visuali zation process. In this presentation I consider issues of how the map d esigner and reader perceive mapped data and where “noise” can creep into the communication to distort the intended message. \;\n \;\nThrou gh the presentation\, we will explore a number of data and visualization challenges that citizen (and professional) cartographers wrestle with e very day. Fortunately some of the big challenges in cartography have so lutions – if you know where to look. Unfortunately\, some also fall in the damned-if-you-do\, damned-if-you-don’t category – but you had better have the critical understanding skills needed to consider the implicati ons either way. No map is perfect\, but some are much better than other s. In this talk we will look at good and bad examples\, the problems an d solutions\, and discuss about pathways to success and enlightenment th rough better mapping. Or\, at least we can just try to learn to stop wo rrying and love maps. \;\n \;\nThe presentation will be colored wi th a psycho-geographic perspective garnered from way too many years teac hing cartography and GIS fundamentals to unsuspecting college youths\, a nd my more recent years at a software company designing a product to hel p people make better decisions without requiring years of cartographic s tudy. \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker: \;\n \;\nSarah Battersby i s a research scientist at Tableau Software. Her primary area of focus is cartography\, with an emphasis on cognition. Her work emphasizes how we can help people visualize and use spatial information more effectively. Her research has covered a variety of areas\, including perception in d ynamic map displays\, geospatial technologies and spatial thinking abili ties\, and the impact of map projection on spatial cognition. She works closely with the maps development team. \;\n \;\nSarah earned her PhD in Geography in 2006 from the University of California at Santa Barb ara. She is a member of the International Cartographic Association Commi ssion on Map Projections\, and is a Past President (2015 – 2016) of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society – a society composed of e ducators\, researchers and practitioners involved in the design\, creati on\, use and dissemination of geographic information. \;\n \;\nSar ah is a member of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee\, a Federal Advisory Committee sponsored by the Department of the Interior under th e Federal Advisory Committee Act. \;\n \;\nAbout DAMA Portland \;\n \;\nThe Portland Metro Chapter of the Data Administration Manage ment Association has been serving the Portland data community since 1984 .

Busine sses who focus on transactions\, contracts\, and assets management are j ust a few of the initial sectors of the economy which will be disrupted. As the underlying technology begins to take hold\, time-consuming and l abor-intensive functions will be replaced by automated and “always on” s mart processes. Centralized models of trust and authenticity will be rep laced by decentralized services and crowd-based consensus algorithms. 3\;\n \;\nThere will not be one blockchain but millions\, each built on an application-specific architectures. Any store of information that requires exchange or validation across indirectly related entities will reside on a blockchain. Blockchains are safe\, secure\, and immutable — but all blockchains are not created equal. We will explore the subject by examining several current generations of blockchain implementations.& #13\;\n \;\nTopics during this session include: \;\n \;\n \; \nArchitecture\, Protocols\, Algorithms \;\n \;\n \;\nDistribut ed Ledgers\, Smart Contracts \;\n \;\n \;\nTrust / Consensus Sy stems \;\n \;\n \;\nDecentralization\, Virtual Computing Enviro nment \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\n \;\nMark Wheeler is a Blockchain technology enthusiast attending Portland State Universi ty majoring in Supply Chain Management.

These two topics tie together when we think about being effective with data science. \;\n \;\nSo me questions we’ll try to answer: \;\n \;\n \;\nWhat different kinds of data scientist (and data science) exist? \;\n \;\n \;\ nWhat different kinds of work exists under the data science umbrella? 3\;\n \;\n \;\nTechnical skills needed. \;\n \;\n \;\nBus iness skills needed. \;\n \;\n \;\nHow can a non-data scientist contribute to a data science team? \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nBring your questions and let’s go exploring! \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Asoka Diggs - Data Scientist @ Intel \;\n \;\n \;\nAfter 15 yea rs of experience in a variety of data management disciplines\, including database administration\, ER modeling\, ETL development\, and data arch itecture\, Asoka completed his MS Predictive Analytics at Northwestern U niversity and has been a practicing data scientist for 4 years. \;\n& #13\;\nHis daily technical work focuses on text analytics and figuring o ut how to optimize performance for processing bigger and bigger data set s. He also has a passion for the organization transformation involved in adopting analytics as a source of competitive advantage\, exploring cri tical questions such as: How does an organization get there? What needs to be done? What organization design and leadership changes are needed t o get the most benefit from analytics? \;\n \;\n \;\nSchedule&# 13\;\n \;\n \;\n8:30 – 9:00 am – Sign In \;\n9:00 – 10:15 am – Presentation \;\n10:15 – 10:30 am – Break\, Chapter Announcements & #13\;\n10:30 – 11:30 am – Presentation continued \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nCost \;\n \;\n \;\nFree for members (including ALL empl oyees of corporate members) \;\n$15 for non-members \;\n$5 for st udents with valid student ID \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout DAMA Portland& #13\;\n \;\nThe Portland Metro Chapter of the Data Administration Man agement Association has been serving the Portland data community since 1 984.

As data streams in from Kafka\, Kinesis\, etc.\, Quine builds it into a graph. Then using “stand ing queries”—queries that live inside the graph and efficiently propagat e—it finds matches to complex patterns in the graph and streams the resu lts out right away. Quine maintains a stateful representation of all dat a streamed through (like a database) so that complex results are built f rom the combination of new streaming data and potentially very old data— all without having to manage any time windows. Since the graph is fully versioned\, you can always query for what the data used to be\, at any h istorical moment. Quine is meant to be a complete package of everything that lives between two Kafka topics: high-volume events stream in\, and highly-meaningful interpreted results stream out. \;\n \;\nIn this talk\, we will explain the how Quine works under the hood\, discuss som e of the interesting and brain-bending challenges we had to confront in order to create it\, and show some uses cases to illustrate why it’s imp ortant for modern data pipelines. Quine implements a property-graph data model on top of an asynchronous graph computational model. It’s like Pr egel with Actors. Each node is capable of performing arbitrary computati on\, so we can bake in some powerful capabilities deep in the graph\; an d then package it up for easy use into user-contributed “recipes” availa ble in the Github repo. Quine is free and open and the repo will be publ icly available in February\, and actively supported by thatDot and the c ommunity. \;\n \;\nWhat You Will Learn \;\nThis talk will intro duce Quine: a brand new open source “streaming graph interpreter” meant as a new fundamental infrastructure component to address major challenge s in data engineering and simplify enterprise data pipelines. \;\n 3\;\nRSVP for Google Meet or Zoom link \;\n \;\nCost \;\nFree!

Cheriton Faculty Fellow at University of Waterloo. His research focuses on developing systems for managing\, querying\, or doing analyt ics on graph-structured data. His main on-going systems project is Kùzu\ , which is a new graph database management system that integrates novel storage\, indexing and query processing techniques. He holds a PhD from Stanford University and is a recipient of the VLDB 2018 Best Paper and t he VLDB 2022 Best Experiments and Analysis Paper awards. \;\n \;\n Abstract: \;\nIn this talk\, I will present the Kùzu graph database m anagement system (GDBMS) that we are developing at University of Waterlo o. Datasets and workloads of popular applications that use GDBMSs requir e a set of storage and query processing features that relational DBMSs ( RDBMSs) do not traditionally optimize for. These include optimizations f or: (i) many-to-many (m-n) joins\; (ii) cyclic joins\; (iii) recursive j oins\; (iv) semi-structured data storage\; and (v) support for universal resource identifiers. Kùzu aims to integrate state-of-art storage\, ind exing\, and \;\nquery processing techniques to highly optimize for th is feature set. I will start by presenting the overall vision of Kùzu an d then talk about the novel join operators in the system that performs j oins using compressed factorized representations of intermediate tables. Kùzu is actively being developed to be a fully functional open-source D BMS with the goal of wide user adoption and under a permissible license. \n\nTags: graphdatabase\, graphdb\, graphflow\, DAMAPDX\, DAMA\, databas e\, datamanagement\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478 625 URL:https://datapdx.org/2022/11/11/december-2022-graphflowdb-a-dbms-for-l arge-scale-graph-data-management/ SUMMARY:Data PDX: Kùzu Graph Database Management System LOCATION:Online via Google Meet: false SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480147 DESCRIPTION:Bill Inmon known as the father of the data warehouse and has written 68 books\, selling over a million copies in total and translated into 9 languages. \;\n \;\nBill was named by Computerworld as one of the ten most influential people in history of computing.

Those innovations with real staying power have proven to d rive business outcomes and prioritize intuitive user engagement. Within this list are a semantic layer (for breaking the silos between knowledge and data) and of course\, generative AI (a topic that is often top of m ind on today’s strategic roadmaps). Both have one thing in common—they a re showing promise in addressing the age-old challenge of unlocking busi ness insights from organizational knowledge and data\, without the compl exities of expensive data\, system\, and content migrations. \;\n 3\;\nIn 2019\, Gartner published research emphasizing the end to “a sing le version of the truth” for data and knowledge management and that by 2 026\, “active metadata” will power over 50% of BI and analytics tools an d solutions to provide a structured and consistent approach to connectin g instead of consolidating data. \;\n \;\nBy employing semantic components and standards (through metadata\, business glossaries\, taxon omy/ontology\, and graph solutions)\, a semantic layer arms organization s with a framework to aggregate and connect siloed data/content\, explic itly provide business context for data\, and serve as the layer for expl ainable AI. \;\n \;\nThis session will present case studies that take a deep dive in the technical architecture of a Semantic Layer\, exp loring the components that enable semantic capabilities\, such as metada ta management\, data catalogs\, ontology/knowledge graphs and AI infrast ructure. The presentation will emphasize how these components interconne ct organizational knowledge and data assets\, enhancing systems like rec ommendation engines and semantic search and explore the top three common approaches we are seeing at play in order to weave this data and knowle dge layer into the fabric of enterprise architecture\, highlighting the applications and organizational considerations for each. \;\n \;\n \;\nSPEAKERS \;\n \;\nLulit Tesfaye is a Partner and the Vice President for Knowledge &\; Data Services and Engineering at Enterpri se Knowledge\, LLC.\, the largest global consultancy dedicated to Knowle dge and data management.

Christina is certified as a Collibra Expert Level 2. \;\n \;\nAbstract \;\n \;\nWe have shifted our foc us from governing data when an initiative is complete\, to beginning dat a governance during the design phase of the software development lifecyc le. We walk with our development teams to ensure that governance is bake d into the plan\, not an afterthought. We determine the level of governa nce that is needed for new data products during design. This ensures tha t the development teams are not surprised by our governance requirements \, reducing remediation\, and improving the quality of the data products from their inception. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will include: 3\;\n \;\nAn explanation of the Governance by Design framework \;\ nDemonstrations of workflows in Collibra to support the process \;\nC hange management for both the Data Governance team and the other impacte d groups \;\nRSVP required for entry ticket.

They are jumping directly to implement MDM ini tiatives\, to move to the cloud\, or to implement advanced analytics\, a nd now\, to adopt AI\, without a real understanding of the problems that need to be solved and the priority to tackle them. There's though an in creasing awareness of having to manage data in a better way\, but there' s no clear understanding of the path to follow. Data Strategy is the key element to prioritize and guide resource allocation in the best way.
