Book Launch, GCN, DAMA and Cringley!
Lots of things going on lately! The top news would be the availability of my new book. You can order now at http://www.outskirtspress.com/daconta
So far, reviews our very positive with several government folks considering it a "must-read"!
Second, my latest GCN column is out and discusses the high-costs of ambiguity. In fact, it raises some issues relating to this blog - especially the ambiguity, for some, between metadata and data.
Third, I will be speaking at the next DAMA conference, on effective metadata design. This talk will cover all aspects of metadata raised in my new book and teach practitioners how to take their metadata management to the next level! Hope to see you there!
Finally, Robert Cringely has a new article out talking about a new opportunity for Google as a metadata provider.
It is good to live in such interesting times! Best wishes, - Mike
