The
drive for the future is to successfully focus on providing quality
support to core members whilst guaranteeing sufficient financial
income to ensure sustained activity.
The four areas
which DAMA UK recommends addressing over the next two years are:
Academic
- to survey UK organisations to understand their Data Management
skill set needs and then induce academic institutions to supply
them.
Data
Quality (DQ) - to benchmark data quality standards in
the UK and encourage development of business awareness of the
importance of DQ and help develop DG metrics.
Government
regulations versus data - to increase awareness of the
legal implications of data management, assist organisations in
reducing their legal liabilities and support ETA (and others)
lobby for "data clever" legislation.
Data
Standards - survey requirements then work with other
organisations (eg BCS) to develop effective data standards.
