META
DATA Keynote: Business enterprises readily recognize that their assets include money, facilities, employees, inventory, data, etc. For most of these assets they assign clear responsibilities, establish formal asset management processes, and build and operate application systems to help in managing the asset. Data management is different; it’s often treated as a technical issue and not a business issue. The term we use to describe information about this asset – metadata – contributes to this perception. In this opening keynote, we will break the technical mystique about metadata management and demonstrate how traditional asset management approaches can be applied to the management of the critical data assets. |

DW/BI
Keynote: In the old days, data warehouses were rather static, they were designed for storing and retrieving internal and structured data. The users of the data warehouse were primarily decision makers of our own organisation. But the world has changed, and so has our data warehouse. Data warehouses of today have to be able to handle unstructured data and external data. New groups of users can be identified, and different forms of usage. In addition, the need for real time data warehouses is growing. The mistake we are making is that we think can handle all these new requirements using the old data warehouse architecture. In this session we propose the virtual data warehouse, an architecture based on sound software engineering practices, such as information hiding. To develop this new generation of data warehouse architectures we will need EII and SOA technology. |

INFORMATION
QUALITY Keynote: If we are to develop sustainable Information Quality Management practices in organizations, we must ground IQ Management principles, processes and techniques in the sound Quality Management Systems proven by implementation in the Industrial Age. Information Quality Management is an extension of Quality Management—not data management. The techniques for identifying information defect root cause, error-proofing information processes, identifying knowledge worker quality requirements, controlling information processes come from Quality Management—not data management. Therefore we must study Deming, Juran, Crosby, Imai (Kaizen), Taguchi, Shewhart, Ishikawa, the Baldrige Criteria, and ISO 9000-2000 to learn the foundations for Information Quality Management.

DAMA
Keynote: Based on the book No-Tech Hacking, this presentation shows life through the eyes of today's hacker. Johnny will show what kinds of tactics a hacker will employ and the perspective they have that allows them to stay one step ahead of the good guys. He'll focus on the hacker mind, showing in a compelling way the mindset that must be adopted when it comes to protecting (or violating) assets, resources and information. He will show how easy it is to break into buildings, access corporate networks, perform identity theft, steal data and more, all without complicated equipment and tools, focusing instead on manipulating the human elements of trust following the path of least security resistance. Packed with tons of photos and videos, this talk presents real-world situations, applying the true hacker mindset to each one. He'll warn you though, while you're laughing yourself silly at some of these examples, you may never see the world the same way again. |
