DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Wright\, Founder\, thatdot.com&#13\;\nAbstr
 act&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThis talk will introduce Quine: a brand new open sour
 ce “streaming graph interpreter” meant as a new fundamental infrastructu
 re component to address major challenges in data engineering and simplif
 y enterprise data pipelines.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nQuine fits in between the wo
 rld of databases and stream processing systems. 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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat You Will Learn&#13\;\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.&#13\;\n&#1

 ely leverage NIEM to increase efficiencies and improve decision-making.&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\nNIEM is a common vocabulary that enables efficient inform
 ation exchange across diverse public and private organizations. NIEM can
  save time and money by providing consistent\, reusable data definitions
  and reusable processes. NIEM is available to everyone\, including both 
 public and private organizations.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nNIEM includes a data mo

  migrating and managing sensitive data in the cloud\, and leveraging the
  cloud for data enablement to drive business value across the enterprise
 .&#13\;\n&#13\;\nTo address this issue\, the EDM Council formed the Clou
 d Data Management Capabilities (“CDMC”) working group. The CDMC working 
 group was managed by the EDM Council and co-chaired by Morgan Stanley an
 d LSEG\, with participation from the world’s top Cloud Service Providers
  (CSPs) AWS\, Microsoft Azure\, Google Cloud\, IBM and 100+ leading cros
 s-industry firms. CDMC v1.1 was released September 2021 and is now avail
 able to all companies and establishes a data risk governance and control
  framework for cloud\, multi and hybrid cloud environments.&#13\;\n&#13\

DESCRIPTION:Semantic Layer Architecture: Top Applications and Implementat
 ion Approaches for Enterprise Data Management (with Real World Examples)
  &#13\;\n&#13\;\nOver the last decade\, we have seen some of the most ex
 citing innovations emerge within the enterprise knowledge and data manag
 ement spaces. 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. &#13\;\n&#1
 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.  &#13\;\n&#13\;\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. &#13\;\n&#13\;\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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n

DESCRIPTION:Speaker&#13\;\n&#13\;\nChristina Burnett\, T-Mobile&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nChristina has over thirty years of experience in consulting\, data
  modeling\, software integration\, analysis\, and programming. 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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbstract&#13\;\n&#13\;\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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThis presentation will include:&#1
 3\;\n&#13\;\nAn explanation of the Governance by Design framework&#13\;\
 nDemonstrations of workflows in Collibra to support the process&#13\;\nC
 hange management for both the Data Governance team and the other impacte
 d groups&#13\;\nRSVP required for entry ticket. This is a VIRTUAL event&
