Subject: Fw: DAMA-NCR Metatopia 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS
Team, Since this is in my backyard - I'd be interested in submitting one or more joint papers on the work of the SCM SC / Registry and then presenting. These folks are Metadata gurus - so I'm expecting good fit with our work - and the conference is well attended by core movers in this whole area. My focus is naturally submitting one presentation on SCM noun dictionary / business catalogue / CAM, but several other topics beckon from our use cases. We have till April 25th to create abstracts for the submission. Thanks, DW. ============================================= Message text written by INTERNET:DAMANCRAdm@aol.com >CALL FOR PAPERS DAMA-NCR Presents Metatopia 2004: A Symposium On Metadata and Data Management In cooperation with TBA Dates: November 4 & 5, 2004 Location: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, DC Theme: Govern and Sustain Your Enterprise Architecture Keynote Speakers: John Zachman and Jeff Tash We define Metatopia as ?oThe ideal world where all data are well managed.? Attendance at the 2001 conference was outstanding even though it was held only weeks after the tragic events of 9-11. It was followed by the 2003 conference, made successful with the support of volunteers from the National Capital Region Chapter of the Data Management Association. Now, for 2004, we expect nothing less than a record-breaking event in terms of world class speakers and attendees! Come to Metatopia 2004 in Washington, D.C. to learn about the latest successful data management strategies and hear first hand from leading industry visionaries, engineers, and practitioners about their experiences and emerging trends. Enjoy the pleasures and sites in our nation's capital and the attractions in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Find out why DAMA-NCR is one of the world?Ts leading data management chapters. You are invited to participate by attending the conference or by contributing a presentation. The symposium will bring together product engineers from vendors, academics, consultants, and leading practitioners interested in: Participating in a forum for information exchange, Engaging in the collaborative development and exchange of metadata content between metadata registries and repositories Promoting, engaging, and learning about the latest state-of-the-art activities, developments, and technologies in the management of data and metadata standards, methods, tactics, techniques, tools, and procedures. Tracks: We anticipate topics that will fit into one or more of these tracks: Standards: metadata standards, the Common Warehouse Metamodel Case Studies: implementations of metadata registry standards, recent success stories in enterprise metadata management, interchange strategies, and enterprise data architecture Issues: extensions to standards, terminology, taxonomies, XML, Future Trends and Emerging Technologies, the latest advances to advance data integration Management, Integration, Data Quality, Benefits, and Emerging Trends: how people are deploying data management strategies to improve ROI, develop and maintain enterprise architectures, and help lower the total cost of ownership of the IT portfolio through improved data quality, data integration, data exchange/sharing, data reuse, cost savings, risk mitigation strategies, business case development, operational architecture developments in support of the DoD Framework, and bold ideas for the future...) Topics: Some suggested topics covered by this conference include: Metadata and related standards - covering fundamental notions of data elements, metadata framework, meta models for metadata attributes, naming and identification issues, classification schemes, value domains, and data administration Implementations - sharing the experiences of planned or actual metadata registry/repository implementations Interoperability - exchanging metadata between enterprise applications Data Modeling ?" latest methods, techniques, and vendor tool strategies to support collaborative modeling and model management Semantic structures - organizing the thousands of linguistic expressions and concepts/terms into structured sets that can be deployed in software and be the glue that binds the enterprise application portfolio Content Management and Enterprise Application Portals ?" How advances and the next breakthroughs in metadata management are contributing to these leading technology enablers. ? Context - accommodating the diversity of languages, naming schemes, industry vernaculars and other specific terminology Object oriented technologies - extending metadata registries to better handle object data, such as the active attributes (behaviors, methods) WEB services ?" how industry developments in J2EE and .Net may be impacting approaches to data management IT enabled data standards - improving the use of design patterns to facilitate true reuse of data structures from international, national, government and private sources ? Enterprise Architecture ?" how data architects are contributing to enterprise architecture governance Assemble-to-order data specifications - assembling the components in metadata registries into a variety of products: database designs; reports; EDI transactions sets; regulations; legislation;? Interchange - facilitating all types of electronic data communication including EDI, web enabled forms, HTML/XML documents, ... XML - relating XML and metadata standards Intelligent information integration - combining data from different sources Data Integration Trends ?" how government and industry are meeting the challenge of achieving the ?osingle version of the truth? using various approaches: ETL vs. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) vs. Internet Data Integration (IDI) solutions. Business Intelligence ?" the latest advances and trends Information and Data Stewardship: tactics, techniques, policies, and procedures Submit your proposal (deadline April 25, 2004) Questions: www.Metatopia2004.org, Email to Metatopia2004@dama-ncr.org Call Tom McCullough at 703-234-6988 or Dr. Jerry Rosenbaum at (410) 764-1843 <
