The Data Management Association International (DAMA) Releases DAMA Dictionary of Data Management<P> Industry Takes an Environment-Friendly Stand on Standard Definitions

DAMA Dictionary of Data Management availability was announced at the DAMA International Symposium & Wilshire Meta Data Conference in San Diego March 16-20, 2008.

Over 800 terms defining a common data management vocabulary for IT professionals, data stewards and business leaders.

Over 40 topics including finance and accounting, knowledge management, architecture, data modeling, XML, and analytics.

Authored by DAMA International, published by Technics Publications, LLC, and edited by Mark Mosley, this dictionary will promote a standard set of data management terms within the field of Information Technology (IT).

Mosley says "As the premiere organization for data management professionals, DAMA seeks to lead the data management profession to maturity. One of the hallmarks of a mature profession is a common vocabulary with clearly understood definitions.  DAMA offers the Dictionary to a field in great need of clarity in its terminology and semantics. We hope the Dictionary will be a useful tool for data management professionals, IT colleagues, managers, data stewards and business leaders. All these people share responsibility for data management, so it's very important for all parties to speak a common language."

Deborah Henderson, President of DAMA International Foundation and VP Education and Research for DAMA International, believes the CD-ROM format will not only be easier to use than the traditional book format, it is also more compact and environmentally responsible. "Publishing this work on CD-ROM saves over 4000 pounds of paper and conservatively 700 pounds of Greenhouse gases."
