Deep Neural Networks, Big Data, AI, and the Road to Autonomous Systems
Autonomous driving – green light, red light, or yellow? Earlier this year Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the future is now. By the middle of 2020, he said at an event for investors, Tesla’s autonomous system will have improved to the point where drivers will not have to pay attention to the road. He revealed […]
Ease into Data Governance with a Data Quality Pilot
In the banking or pharmacy industry where regulations compel companies to have good governance in place, in industries such as publishing and telecom Data Governance often seems complicated and theoretical. That’s according to Sara Willovit, Product Data Governance at Becton Dickenson. Speaking at the DATAVERSITY® Enterprise Data World Conference, during her presentation titled Using Data […]

The Many Dimensions of Data Quality
Data can be anywhere. Companies store data in the cloud, in data warehouses, in data lakes, on old mainframes, in applications, on drives — even on paper spreadsheets. Every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data, and there are no signs of this slowing down anytime soon. With so much available for data-driven decisions, […]
Data Governance and the Digital Information Repository
Digital libraries or information repositories such as Wikipedia are driven by a carefully governed Data Architecture, which provides anytime, anywhere, any topic access to these vast information resources. Data Governance policies related to Data Quality, ownership, stewardship, roles, and responsibilities are executed through the use of “metadata,” which provides context to data. Without metadata, even […]
Cloud Computing and Cloud Architecture Trends in 2020
Use of the cloud has grown significantly. Cloud computing has become so popular, many startups are taking a “cloud-first” approach (the deliberate practice of considering use of the cloud first). The cloud offers tools, data, and scalable computing power that would be difficult to access in other ways. Cloud architecture, whether it be public, private, […]
