DAMA Conference

Wow, what a week at the 2005 DAMA International Symposium and Wilshire Metadata Conference. I was very excited to see sessions on Information Architecture, Dublin Core Metadata Standard, Semantic Web, Enterprise Architecture, Knowledge Management and the Academic track provided some great research. I cant think of any other conference where the diversity of topics is covered at the level of detail as it was here.

Oh, so how did my sessions go? Got some great reviews with the only exception coming from the vendors. Things that make you go hmmmmm. Maybe I am letting too many secrets out and people are getting nervous. My main message was simple this; Metadata should be run as any other business venture. Long term success comes from great products, value-add services, marketing, and the customer experience.
