09/01/08 – THE DATA ADMINISTRATION NEWSLETTER, LLC – http://www.TDAN.com

 

Dear TDAN.com Readers,

 

The new issue (September 2008) of The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com) has been posted.  TDAN.com, now monthly, is in its twelfth year of providing quality content for data management professionals.  This issue is again stocked with a lot of great new material.

The September issue contains New Articles from Stephen Putman (CDI and MDM are Broken - Part 2), Timothy Ryan (First-Time-Right Ratio), Ashu Bhatia (BiFocal Strategy for Data Quality) and John Singer (Paying for CMDB).  Two Feature Columns have been added.  The first installment of a new quarterly Feature Column from Joe Celko called 'SELECT * FROM Celko' has been added and Diby Malakar's regular quarterly Feature Column – Saas and BI - will be added early this week.  Bob Dominko's Unwired Tap is still being featured on the main page due to how late it was added last month. 

Two Special Features have been added for September including one from Robert S. Seiner (me!) - The Last Lecture: An As-You-Go Review - has already been added and a second Special Feature from David C. Hay - UML as a Data Modeling Notation, Part I: Two Modeling Worlds - will be added early this week.  Links to new articles on the Business Intelligence Network have been added as well.  A new section titled TDAN.com BlogWatch will be added soon, perhaps this week or next.

PLEASE send me articles you are interested in having published through this award winning publication.  I am still looking to add Feature Columns that will run quarterly in Feb/May/Aug/Nov and Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec.  Please send me an email with your ideas.  Have a great month.

CALL FOR FEATURE COLUMNS: 

Please let me know if you are interested in publishing a quarterly feature columns on the pages of TDAN.com.  All ideas will be strongly considered.  I am looking columnists interested in contributing a new column for every three months (Feb/May/Aug/Nov or Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec).  I have added several new columns recently (Adrian Miley, Diby Malakar and Ron Ross).  Joe Celko’s column started this month!  Feature columns are a very popular piece of TDAN.com content.

The rest of the publication continues to be updated regularly including new book reviews, an updated list of data-oriented conferences through 2008, updates to the book list of several top books published in late ’07 and in ’08, business resource list, companies and products list and more.  Two new books written by friends of mine have been added to the Book Center including Danette McGilvray’s Executing Data Quality Projects and Thomas C. Redman’s Data Driven. The quote of the week (English Proverb) and 5 data oriented news stories (TDANews) continue to be updated weekly.

 

I am always interested in your feedback regarding the new issue and the (not so) new look of TDAN.com.  Please feel free to contact me with suggestions and comments.  A form has been set up through the Contact tab to submit these comments.  Thanks.
