In this information-packed session, Data Quality Practitioner, Dan Myers (DQMatters) will provide an update on the state of data quality in the industry based on his 9-year running survey published in November 2024. Then he’ll explain how an industry standard set of dimensions of data quality (the cake) enables consistent communication between data professionals. Dan will demonstrate how to leverage two free AI tools that can help junior team members improve data quality (eat the cake). It isn’t a panacea, but you’re at a disadvantage to ignore these tools.

A Focus on the Fundamentals: What is Data Management and Why Do We Need It
What is Data Management? As defined by DAMA-I, Data Management is the development, execution, and supervision of plans, policies, programs and practices that deliver, control, protect and enhance the value of data and the information assets throughout their lifecycle. While there are fundamental principles that can be applied regardless of your industry or organization, how we apply and implement those principles to facilitate this will be slightly different for every organization.
September 2024: Semantic Layer Architecture
This session will present case studies that take a deep dive in the technical architecture of a Semantic Layer, exploring the components that enable semantic capabilities, such as metadata management, data catalogs, ontology/knowledge graphs and AI infrastructure. The presentation will emphasize how these components interconnect organizational knowledge and data assets, enhancing systems like recommendation engines and semantic search and explore the top three common approaches we are seeing at play in order to weave this data and knowledge layer into the fabric of enterprise architecture, highlighting the applications and organizational considerations for each.
