Description
People have a hard time communicating, and also have a hard time finding business knowledge in the environment. With the sophistication
of search technologies like Google, business people expect to be able to get their questions answered about the business just like you
can do an internet search. The truth is, knowledge management is primitive today, and it is due to the fact that we have poor business
metadata management.
This book is about all the groundwork necessary for IT to really support the business properly. By providing
not just data, but the context behind the data. For the IT professional, it will be tactically practical--very "how to" and a detailed
approach to implementing best practices supporting knowledge management. And for the the IT or other manager who needs a guide for creating
and justifying projects, it will help provide a strategic map.
Audience:
The market includes IT professionals, including those in consulting, working on systems that will deliver better knowledge management
capability. This includes people in these positions: data architects; data analysts, SOA architects; metadata analysts, repository (metadata
data warehouse) managers. Also, vendors that have a metadata component as part of their systems or tools.
