MDM Institute: Why is Reference data mission critical now?Orchestra Networks
The document discusses reference data management (RDM) and why it has become mission critical. It finds that errors in reference data can ripple through other systems and affect quality across domains. As enterprise data relies on clean reference data, RDM is becoming a starting point for many organizations' master data management and data governance efforts. The document also summarizes the results of a survey on RDM that found over 50% of respondents plan to invest in RDM within two years and that RDM projects have enterprise-level accountability and budgets.
Master Data Management – Aligning Data, Process, and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as customers, products, vendors, and more. While mastering these key data areas can be a complex task, the value of doing so can be tremendous – from real-time operational integration to data warehousing and analytic reporting. This webinar will provide practical strategies for gaining value from your MDM initiative, while at the same time assuring a solid architectural and governance foundation that will ensure long-term, enterprise-wide success.
The document discusses strategies for managing master data through a Master Data Management (MDM) solution. It outlines challenges with current data management practices and goals for an improved MDM approach. Key considerations for implementing an effective MDM strategy include identifying initial data domains, use cases, source systems, consumers, and the appropriate MDM patterns to address business needs.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.

A Reference Process Model for Master Data ManagementBoris Otto
This document presents an overview of a reference process model for master data management. It includes an introduction discussing business requirements for master data and challenges in managing master data quality. It also describes the research methodology used to develop an iterative reference process model. The results section provides an overview of the reference process model and discusses its evaluation through three case studies. The conclusion recognizes the model's contribution in explicating the design process for master data management organizations.
Data Architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. Without proper structure and efficiency in organization, data assets cannot be utilized to their full potential, which in turn harms bottom-line business value. When designed well and used effectively, however, a strong Data Architecture can be referenced to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems commonly encountered in organizations.
The goal of this webinar is not to instruct you in being an outright Data Architect, but rather to enable you to envision a number of uses for Data Architectures that will maximize your organization’s competitive advantage. With that being said, we will:
Discuss Data Architecture’s guiding principles and best practices
Demonstrate how to utilize Data Architecture to address a broad variety of organizational challenges and support your overall business strategy
Illustrate how best to understand foundational Data Architecture concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK)
Data Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric
Data Catalogs Are the Answer – What is the Question?DATAVERSITY
Organizations with governed metadata made available through their data catalog can answer questions their people have about the organization’s data. These organizations get more value from their data, protect their data better, gain improved ROI from data-centric projects and programs, and have more confidence in their most strategic data.
Join Bob Seiner for this lively webinar where he will talk about the value of a data catalog and how to build the use of the catalog into your stewards’ daily routines. Bob will share how the tool must be positioned for success and viewed as a must-have resource that is a steppingstone and catalyst to governed data across the organization.
3 Keys To Successful Master Data Management - Final PresentationJames Chi
This document discusses keys to successful master data management including process, governance, and architecture. It summarizes a survey finding that while many companies see data as an asset, only around 20% have implemented master data management. Successful MDM requires alignment with business objectives, clear governance models, and comprehensive solution architectures. The document advocates establishing policies, procedures, standards, governance, and tools to create and maintain high-quality shared reference data.
Reference matter data management:
Two categories of structured data :
Master data: is data associated with core business entities such as customer, product, asset, etc.
Transaction data: is the recording of business transactions such as orders in manufacturing, loan and credit card payments in banking, and product sales in retail.
Reference data: is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise .
The Importance of MDM - Eternal Management of the Data MindDATAVERSITY
Despite its immaterial nature, data has a tendency to pile up as time goes on, and can quickly be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance and streamlining of processes for its management. This presentation will provide you with an understanding of reference and master data management (MDM), one such method for keeping mass amounts of business data organized and functional towards achieving business goals.
MDM’s guiding principles include the establishment and implementation of authoritative data sources and effective means of delivering data to various business processes, as well as increases to the quality of information used in organizational analytical functions (such as BI).
To that end, attendees of this webinar will learn how to:
- Structure their data management processes around these principles
- Incorporate data quality engineering into the planning of reference and MDM
- Understand why MDM is so critical to their organization’s overall data strategy

Case studies will also be provided to show how successful organizations have successfully built a data strategies to support their business goals.
Essential Reference and Master Data ManagementDATAVERSITY
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions: its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on-time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning objectives:
- Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
- Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
- Gain awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
- Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
- Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy

The first step towards understanding data assets’ impact on your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata – literally, data about data – is a practice area required by good systems development, and yet is also perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood Data Management practice. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight into the efficiency of organizational practices and enable you to combine practices into sophisticated techniques supporting larger and more complex business initiatives. Program learning objectives include:
- Understanding how to leverage metadata practices in support of business strategy
- Discuss foundational metadata concepts
- Guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses applied strategy
Metadata strategies include:
- Metadata is a gerund so don’t try to treat it as a noun
- Metadata is the language of Data Governance
- Treat glossaries/repositories as capabilities, not technology

There’s growing recognition in the analyst community that reference data is a form of master data that requires its own governance. Locations, currency codes, financial accounts, and organizational hierarchies are so widely used in an organization that mismatches can result in: reconciliation issues, poor quality analytics or even transactional failures.
While it’s easy to see how poor reference data management (RDM) can cause problems, many companies struggle with determining how to get started. Multiple questions arise: What’s the scope? How should one choose between RDM solutions? How do I compute ROI? To answer these questions and more, Orchestra Networks teamed up with Aaron Zornes, Chief Research Office of the MDM Institute and Godfather of MDM, for: Everything you ever wanted to know about Reference Data (but were afraid to ask).
In this hour long webcast featuring Aaron Zornes (MDM Institute) and Conrad Chuang (Orchestra Networks) you will learn the:
Characteristics of reference data,
Key features of a reference data management (RDM) solution,
Lessons learned RDM implementations,

UKOUG 2012 Metadata Management for Oracle Hyperion EPMOrchestra Networks
Orchestra Networks presentation at the UK Oracle User Group EPM & Hyperion conference on October 23, 2012. A streamlined approach to the management and governance of shared dimensions and hierarchies - the metadata for the Hyperion EPM Suite.
Orchestra Netwoks’ MDM for Oracle Hyperion EPM Applications is a single platform for managing all your dimensions and hierarchies. With built-in Oracle Hyperion models and unique hierarchy customization and management features - MDM for Hyperion provides you the tools you need to maintain dimensional consistency across organizational level, applications and time. With one-click integration to Hyperion Financial Management, Essbase and Planning, changes can be made once, in one place, rather than in multiple times in multiple HFM, Essbase or Planning instances.
Unlike manual alternatives such as spreadsheets, the fine grained permissions provides you the flexibility to maintain audit controls and permissions on all, some, or none of your Hyperion metadata. With the built-in-workflow, you can define business rules and processes that govern how the individuals in your organization work together to create your dimensions. Lastly, the version control engine enables you to retrieve (and rollback) to prior versions of your dimensions and prototype new or future editions.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

7. Why
focus
on
the
TOM?
! 90%
of
our
Change
teams
(business
and
IT)
focus
on
delivering
the
ApplicaAons
and
Technology
component
of
the
TOM
as
their
skills,
cerAficaAons
and
implementaAon
experiences
have
been
in
sodware
development
lifecycles
! Given
our
limited
investment
dollars
in
large-‐scale
strategic
programs
and
the
aggressive
Amelines
we
are
oden
under
to
deliver
the
soluAon
to
our
user
and
meet
regulatory
deadlines,
we
all
need
to
be
mindful
of
ensuring
that
the
deliveries
we
are
accountable
for
fit
into
the
overall
TOM
design
! We
need
to
ensure
that
we
include
the
TOM
components
in
our
delivery
plans
so
that
appropriate
tollgates
are
accounted
for
and
proper
design
can
be
achieved.
We
can
accomplish
more
if
each
individual
understands
that
what
they
are
delivering
aligns
with
the
TOM
components
