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.

She came to Data Governance late in her career\, but having a data-centric view o f software has been a common thread throughout her work. Her software de velopment background has given her a practical perspective on how to wor k with software development teams to improve Data Governance outcomes. C hristina has a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Houston\, and an M.S. in Computer Science and Software Engineering from the Unive rsity of Washington Bothell. 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.
