1) The document discusses cloud computing and its implications for data governance. Cloud computing refers to delivering computing as an internet-based service rather than a product. It allows for virtual allocation of resources and pay-per-use models.
2) Moving to the cloud presents both opportunities and challenges for data governance. It could improve governance through fewer devices holding data but requires enhanced focus on governance within and outside the organization. Organizations may lose physical control of their data.
3) Adapting to the cloud will change data governance roles and skills. Governance professionals should get involved in cloud strategies, ensure data challenges are addressed, and plan for new issues around security, compliance, and partner governance. The cloud computing landscape

Big data governance as a corporate governance imperativeGuy Pearce
Poor data governance impacts reputation risk by data breach, by privacy violations and by acting on poor quality data. Furthermore, there are some important differences in what data governance means for big data compared to data governance for operational data.
That poor data governance impacts reputation risk means it has considerable implications for the Board of Directors, for whom reputation risk is the number one risk according to Deloitte (2013).
This presentation targeting the Board of Directors and the C-Suite and presented at the National Data Governance and Privacy Congress in Calgary, Canada presented some reasons why data governance is critical, from the perspective of both the C-Suite and the Board of Directors.

Real-World Data Governance: Governance Risk and ComplianceDATAVERSITY
The target of many a Data Governance Program is to nail their regulatory and compliance requirements first to appease the government and industry regulators before doing anything else. Risk Management, as a practice, is already in place in most organizations under a variety of names. Even though most organizations do not consider Risk Management the same thing as Data Governance, the similarities abound. Compliance is not optional. Nothing about Regulatory and Compliance mentions optional. Governance is not optional either.
The session will cover:
Risk Management Vs. Data Governance – A Close Comparison

Data Privatisation, Data Anonymisation, Data Pseudonymisation and Differentia...Alan McSweeney
Your data has value to your organisation and to relevant data sharing partners. It has been expensively obtained. It represents a valuable asset on which a return must be generated. To achieve the value inherent in the data you need to be able to make it appropriately available to others, both within and outside the organisation.
Organisations are frequently data rich and information poor, lacking the skills, experience and resources to convert raw data into value.
These notes outline technology approaches to achieving compliance with data privacy regulations and legislation while providing access to data.
There are different routes to making data accessible and shareable within and outside the organisation without compromising compliance with data protection legislation and regulations and removing the risk associated with allowing access to personal data:
• Differential Privacy – source data is summarised and individual personal references are removed. The one-to-one correspondence between original and transformed data has been removed
• Anonymisation – identifying data is destroyed and cannot be recovered so individual cannot be identified. There is still a one-to-one correspondence between original and transformed data
• Pseudonymisation – identifying data is encrypted and recovery data/token is stored securely elsewhere. There is still a one-to-one correspondence between original and transformed data
These technologies and approaches are not mutually exclusive – each is appropriate to differing data sharing and data access use cases
The data privacy regulatory and legislative landscape is complex and getting even more complex so an approach to data access and sharing that embeds compliance as a matter of course is required.
Appropriate technology appropriately implemented and operated is a means of managing and reducing risks of re-identification by making the time, skills, resources and money necessary to achieve this unrealistic.
Technology is part of a risk management approach to data privacy. There is wider operational data sharing and data privacy framework that includes technology aspects, among other key areas. Using these technologies will embed such compliance by design into your data sharing and access facilities. This will allow you to realise value from your data successfully.

Real-World Data Governance Webinar: Agile and Data Governance - Bridging the GapDATAVERSITY
The concepts of both Data Governance and Agile Development continue to be applied in many organizations with differing levels of success. Nobody is surprised that Data Governance and Agile Methods can be at odds with each other. Perhaps they can partner to demonstrate success in both disciplines. Can Data Governance be applied to agile projects? Can Data Governance be applied in an agile way? These are two fascinating questions.
Join Robert S. Seiner for this RWDG Webinar to explore ideas for how to stay Agile in our Data Governance efforts and how to Govern Agile efforts. The subject of Agile always seems to spark interest from skeptics and believers alike. This session focuses on discovering ways of bridging the gap.
This session will cover:
Data Governance and Agile Roles & Responsibilities
Applying Governance to Agile Projects
Being Agile with our Governance Requirements
Can the two coexist? “Selling” Agile to Governance People and the other way around
Keys to Formulating an Effective Data Management Strategy in the Age of DataImpetus Technologies
Companies who are leaders in the digital transformation revolution have mastered how they manage data. In order to compete with them, it is important that all businesses have a comprehensive data management strategy. A solid data management strategy should address the needs of all areas of business – from operations, marketing, and sales to service, finance, and more. But how can enterprises formulate a strategy that provides all business functions with quick and complete access to the data, analytics, and machine learning that they need, both now and in the future?
In this webinar our guest speaker Mike Gualtieri, VP & Principal Analyst, Forrester Research and Larry Pearson, VP Strategic Alliances, Impetus Technologies will outline the fundamental building blocks of such a strategy.

How to Strengthen Enterprise Data Governance with Data QualityDATAVERSITY
If your organization is in a highly-regulated industry – or relies on data for competitive advantage – data governance is undoubtedly a top priority. Whether you’re focused on “defensive” data governance (supporting regulatory compliance and risk management) or “offensive” data governance (extracting the maximum value from your data assets, and minimizing the cost of bad data), data quality plays a critical role in ensuring success.
Join our webinar to learn how enterprise data quality drives stronger data governance, including:
The overlaps between data governance and data quality
The “data” dependencies of data governance – and how data quality addresses them
Key considerations for deploying data quality for data governance
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
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment

The Chief Data Officer Agenda: Metrics for Information and Data ManagementDATAVERSITY
Welcome to The Chief Data Officer Agenda, a DATAVERSITY monthly webinar focused on the emerging priorities of the Chief Data Officer (CDO). What issues are CDOs facing now, and what should be on their Agenda. The webinar series is moderated by DATAVERSITY CEO and Founder, Tony Shaw, who will be joined each month by guest experts to discuss the requirements and demands on the burgeoning CDO role.
This month in the series:
The value proposition of enterprise information management is founded on Information being treated as an Asset. Information management professionals concur, but CxOs will say "So what?" In most organizations, they are both right! The conflict starts with one group thinking metaphorically, and the other literally. CDOs know that “Information asset” needs to be more than a metaphor…it has to be actionable. When you’re in charge of the application and value of data, how do you measure that? How do you measure progress? What types of metrics are there and which ones actually work? There is a lot more to measuring the value of information than common ROI.
This presentation will give you some starting points for real information asset management and information economics. You’ll learn some of the techniques being used successfully today, and considerations for quantifying the value and progress of information management. There is a means of reconciliation between the metaphors and reality, and this talk will outline a vision for the future, but with practical steps to help you get there.
Complying with Cybersecurity Regulations for IBM i Servers and DataPrecisely
Multiple security regulations became effective across the globe in 2018, most notably the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and additional regulations are on their heels. The California Consumer Privacy Act, with its GDPR-like requirements, is just one of the regulations that requires planning and preparation today.
If you need to implement security policies for IBM i systems and data that will meet today’s compliance requirements and prepare you for those that are on the way, this webinar will help you get on the right track.
Designed to address more mature programs, this tutorial covers the issues and approaches to sustaining Data Governance and value creation over time, amongst a changing business and personnel environment.
Part of the reason many companies launch a Data Governance program again and again is that over time, it is challenging to maintain the enthusiasm and excitement that accompanies a newly initiated program.
Learn about:
• Typical obstacles to sustainable Data Governance
• Re-energizing your program after a key player (or two) leave and other personnel challenges
• Staying relevant to the company as the business evolves over time
• Understanding the role of metrics and why they are critical
• Leveraging Communication and Stakeholder Management practices to maintain commitment
• Embedding Data Governance into the operations of the company
Automated Data Governance 101 - A Guide to Proactively Addressing Your Privac...DATAVERSITY
“Data privacy,” “data security,” “data protection” –
whatever we call the way we control our data, it isn’t working. Data is as
vulnerable as ever. And this is true for both consumers hoping to keep their
data safe, and for enterprises seeking to govern their corporate and customer
data.
We’re at a crossroads: Governing data and putting data to
use are two dueling objectives, and businesses are stuck in the middle.
Can this problem be solved? In a word: yes.
The answer is through what we call automated Data Governance, which introduces speed, agility, and precision into the process of applying rules on data. Join Immuta for a webinar as we explore these Data Governance challenges and discuss how you can proactively address them with automated Data Governance.
It’s been three years since the General Data Protection Regulation shook up how organizations manage data security and privacy, ushering in a new focus on Data Governance. But what is the state of Data Governance today?
How has it evolved? What’s its role now? Building on prior research, erwin by Quest and ESG have partnered on a new study about what’s driving the practice of Data Governance, program maturity and current challenges. It also examines the connections to data operations and data protection, which is interesting given the fact that improving data security is now the No. 1 driver of Data Governance, according to this year’s survey respondents.
So please join us for this webinar to learn about the:
Other primary drivers for enterprise Data Governance programs
Most common bottlenecks to program maturity and sustainability
Advantages of aligning Data Governance with the other data disciplines
In a post-COVID world, data has the power to be even more transformative, and 84% of business and technology professionals say it represents the best opportunity to develop a competitive advantage during the next 12 to 24 months. Let’s make sure your organization has the intelligence it needs about both data and data systems to empower stakeholders in the front and back office to do what they need to do.

An Exploration: Moving Your Enterprise to a Cloud CollaborationThomas Danford
Presentation at Educause Southeast 2012 - The ever-costly hardware refresh cycle for administrative systems, coupled with budget cutbacks and IT audit findings, prompted five community colleges and their system offices to explore hosting or cloud computing as an alternative to independent systems at each of their campuses. Is collaborating in such a move to the cloud truly a viable option for lowering or maintaining current costs, both in real dollars and in staff hours? Can benefits be realized in terms of providing enhanced, more secure services, better redundancy, and increased availability and scalability? What issues arise when institutions collaborate in such a venture? Bring your own experiences and questions to this open dialogue where we'll create a working roadmap that you and others can follow.
Implementing a Data Lake with Enterprise Grade Data GovernanceHortonworks
Hadoop provides a powerful platform for data science and analytics, where data engineers and data scientists can leverage myriad data from external and internal data sources to uncover new insight. Such power is also presenting a few new challenges. On the one hand, the business wants more and more self-service, and on the other hand IT is trying to keep up with the demand for data, while maintaining architecture and data governance standards.
In this webinar, Andrew Ahn, Data Governance Initiative Product Manager at Hortonworks, will address the gaps and offer best practices in providing end-to-end data governance in HDP. Andrew Ahn will be followed by Oliver Claude of Waterline Data, who will share a case study of how Waterline Data Inventory works with HDP in the Modern Data Architecture to automate the discovery of business and compliance metadata, data lineage, as well as data quality metrics.

Gartner states in its Predicts 2018: Data Management Strategies Continue to Shift Toward Distributed,
“As data management activities are becoming more widespread in both distributed processing use cases, like IoT, and demands for new types of data, emerging roles such as data scientists or data engineers are expected to be driving the new data management requirements in the coming two years. These trends indicate that both the collection of data as well as the need to connect to data are rapidly becoming the new normal, and that the days of a single data store with all the data of interest — the enterprise data warehouse — are long gone.”
Data management solutions are becoming distributed, heterogeneous and extremely diverse.
Attend this session to learn:
• How to evolve architecture patterns in the cloud using data virtualization.
• How data virtualization accelerates cloud migration and modernization.
• Successful cloud implementation case studies.
Business disadvantages using cloud computing exist. This report summary outlines the most important need to know disadvantages related to using cloud computing.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Cloud Computing & Data Governance
Presented By:

2. Confused? I was…
“I've looked at clouds
from both sides now
From up and down, and
still somehow
It's cloud illusions I
recall
I really don't know
clouds at all”
Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell 1967
4. Cloud Computing – Some
alternative definitions
“Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service
rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices as a
metered service over a network (typically the Internet).”
(Wikipedia)
“Internet or network based subscription services for
applications, platforms or infrastructure” (IBM)
“Marketing term for the technologies that provide computation,
software, data access, and storage services that do not require
end-user knowledge of the physical location or configuration of
the system that delivers the services.” (Trillium Software)
5. Cloud Computing –
core elements
Provision of services via the Internet / network
Virtual not physical allocation of resources
Multi-tenanted hosting
Pay as you use not outright purchase (cf
utilities)
Cloud is a disruptive technology as it provides
a clear alternative model to outright purchase
of hardware, platforms & applications
6. Cloud Computing – how
it can be offered
Public/private/hybrid options
Public – via the internet
Private – via an intranet
Hybrid – combination
7. Cloud Computing – what can
be offered
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Hosted hardware, storage and servers
Key providers include Amazon, Google
Platform as a service (PaaS)
Access to an externally managed platform for
application development & integration
Key providers include AT&T, MS (Azure), Rackspace,
Jaspersoft
Software as a service (SaaS)
Access to software applications not managed in-house
Thousands of examples…
10. Cloud Computing: potential
benefits (1)
Speed to deploy new applications &
services
Greater standardisation
Scalability & elasticity
Lower initial implementation costs –
CAPEX to OPEX
Better cost control and lower internal IT
costs (e.g. help desks)
11. Cloud Computing: potential
benefits (2)
Benefits to SMEs who cannot afford to
purchase
Try before you buy options – benefits
both customers & suppliers
Self-service and self-configuration of
services
Better and faster user adoption
Potentially improved performance
Automatic data back ups

14. Barriers: Data Security &
Privacy Concerns
Many organisations are reluctant to allow
their data & applications to be physically
held outside their immediate control
Moving personal information into the
Cloud may increase the chances of
misuse and security breaches
BUT… are hosted services less secure
than in-house?
15. Barriers: Legal &
Regulatory Restrictions
Data protection laws (e.g. EU Data Protection
Acts) restricts where data can be held
physically – default is not outside EU unless
special provisions made
Industry specific regulations (e.g. Finance) also
restrict where data can be held
As Cloud hosting is virtual difficult to track and
verify where data is physically held
If data is misused, who is responsible?
16. Barriers: Commercial &
operational factors
Reduces CAPEX but some claim higher OPEX will
negate OPEX savings
Creates a commercial & technical dependency on
the supplier
Potential for supplier downtime and loss of
service
Broadband speeds variable – e.g. rural areas
Immature & volatile market so choosing reliable
and long term providers difficult
17. Barriers: Application &
Data Integration
Public Cloud customers have to work out how
to integrate existing in house IT investments
with new Cloud services
Many potential Cloud customers do not have
sufficiently virtualised in-house applications to
enable them to integrate
Cloud might encourage greater fragmentation
of applications
18. So what’s the impact of Cloud on
Data Governance?
New Data
Quality & Data
Governance
challenges
What do we need
to do?
Changing DQ
and DG roles &
skills
19. Cloud Computing – the DG impact
• DG / DQ will be key to
Cloud migration success –
before, during and after
migration
• Internal and external data
integration will become key
• Could improve DG as fewer
devices will hold data
• Host and application
companies may offer
DQaaS
• Cloud will require an
enhanced focus on data
governance – within and
outside the enterprise
• Organisations may lose
physical control of data
• DG / DQ SLAs (EULAs) will
be needed with data hosts
/ suppliers
• Legal & regulatory
compliance becomes a
major challenge

21. Moving to the Cloud –
potential DQ / DG involvement
Preparing data for migration
• Scoping and scaling data to be migrated
• Evaluating its suitability for integration with other data sources
• Undertaking source data rationalization & cleanse
Migrating to the cloud environment
• Profiling data in advance of data migration
• Enhancing data in preparation for migration
• Maintaining DQ during ETL processes
Managing data in the cloud
• Enforcing business rules to be applied in the Cloud environment
• Auditing data to ensure security, adherence and quality
• Supporting data governance activities
22. Cloud Computing – the
future
Cloud has arrived and will
grow
Drives & driven by Big Data,
Data Virtualization etc.
For SMEs Cloud will become
the norm
Larger organisations likely
to evolve to a Hybrid model,
with a mix of internally and
externally sourced services
23. So what should we as data
management professionals
do to prepare ourselves?
Understand and get involved in any current
Cloud Computing strategies underway in your
organisation
Ensure that the data management opportunities
& challenges of Cloud are understood and taken
into account in these strategies
Participate in due diligence of potential Cloud
suppliers
Plan for the the new challenges of security,
compliance and governance
24. A final thought…
“It’s not the will to
win but the will to
prepare to win that
makes the
difference”
