You Need a Data Catalog. Do You Know Why?Precisely
The data catalog has become a popular discussion topic within data management and data governance circles. A data catalog is a central repository that contains metadata for describing data sets, how they are defined, and where to find them. TDWI research indicates that implementing a data catalog is a top priority among organizations we survey. The data catalog can also play an important part in the governance process. It provides features that help ensure data quality, compliance, and that trusted data is used for analysis. Without an in-depth knowledge of data and associated metadata, organizations cannot truly safeguard and govern their data.
Join this on-demand webinar to learn more about the data catalog and its role in data governance efforts.
Topics include:
· Data management challenges and priorities
· The modern data catalog – what it is and why it is important
· The role of the modern data catalog in your data quality and governance programs

Subscribing to Your Critical Data Supply Chain - Getting Value from True Data...DATAVERSITY
Operational Data Governance is more than a stewardship process for critical Business Assets. As organizations build structure around KPI’s and other critical data, a workflow develops that revolves around the sources and supply chain for that critical data. There can be many aspects to changes and inconsistencies affecting the final results of the supply chain. Inaccurate usage of data can result in audit penalties as well as erroneous report summaries and conclusions.
Is it coming from the correct authoritative source? Has the data been profiled? Has it met it’s threshold?
Gaps in the supply chain from incorrect pathways may lead dead ends or lost sources.
The value of understanding the entire supply chain cannot be overstated. When changes occur at and point, end users can validate that correct business standards, rules and policies have been applied to the critical data within the supply chain. Your organization can rest easy that you are not at risk for exposure due to improper usage, security, and compliance.
Join this webinar to uncover how companies are using data lineage to accomplish data supply chain transparency. You’ll also see the direct value clear data lineage can give to your business and IT landscape today.

Data Management Meets Human Management - Why Words MatterDATAVERSITY
At Fifth Third Bank, about 450 people use data every day. They all start with Alation. But this wasn't always the case. In fact, getting hundreds of folks working in sync has been a monumental task.
Just ask Greg Swygart, VP of enterprise data at Fifth Third Bank. Greg has led data consumption and interaction efforts since adopting Alation. Currently he’s scaling out data literacy for Fifth Third, replicating data capabilities to all roles across the company.
Join Greg to learn how Fifth Third Bank moved from a command-and-control governance approach to non-invasive — and reaped the benefits. Greg will be followed by Bob Seiner, creator of Non-Invasive Data Governance, who will speak to data governance’s evolution, with an eye to what’s next.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
• About Fifth Third’s transition away from command-and-control governance
• How Fifth Third leverages Alation as its data marketplace for curation & consumption
• Why words matter when driving adoption
• About the data catalog — and its role in human management
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

Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric (r1)James Serra
So many buzzwords of late: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric. What do all these terms mean and how do they compare to a data warehouse? In this session I’ll cover all of them in detail and compare the pros and cons of each. I’ll include use cases so you can see what approach will work best for your big data needs.
Is the traditional data warehouse dead?James Serra
With new technologies such as Hive LLAP or Spark SQL, do I still need a data warehouse or can I just put everything in a data lake and report off of that? No! In the presentation I’ll discuss why you still need a relational data warehouse and how to use a data lake and a RDBMS data warehouse to get the best of both worlds. I will go into detail on the characteristics of a data lake and its benefits and why you still need data governance tasks in a data lake. I’ll also discuss using Hadoop as the data lake, data virtualization, and the need for OLAP in a big data solution. And I’ll put it all together by showing common big data architectures.

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.
