Written by over 120 data management practitioners, the DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DAMA-DMBOK) is the most impressive compilation of data management principals and best practices, ever assembled. It provides data management and IT professionals, executives, knowledge workers, educators, and researchers with a framework to manage their data and mature their information infrastructure. The equivalent of the PMBOK or the BABOK, the DAMA-DMBOK provides information on: - Data Governance
- Data Architecture Management
- Data Development
- Database Operations Management
- Data Security Management
- Reference & Master Data Management
- Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence Management
- Document & Content Management
- Meta Data Management
- Data Quality Management
- Professional Development
As an authoritative introduction to data management, the goals of the DAMA-DMBOK Guide are: - To build consensus for a generally applicable view of data management functions.
- To provide standard definitions for commonly used data management functions, deliverables, roles, and other terminology.
- To document guiding principles for data management.
- To present a vendor-neutral overview to commonly accepted good practices, widely adopted methods and techniques, and significant alternative approaches.
- To clarify the scope and boundaries of data management.
- To act as a reference which guides readers to additional resources for further understanding.
The Editors are Mark Mosley, Editor - Development, Michael Brackett, Editor - Production, Susan Earley, Assistant Editor, and Deborah Henderson, Project Sponsor. The Foreword is by John Zachman (DAMA I Lifetime Achievement Award recipient), the Preface is by John Schley (DAMA International President) and Deborah Henderson (DAMA Foundation President, DAMA International VP Education and Research), and the Afterword is by Michael Brackett (DAMA International Lifetime Achievement Award recipient). From the Foreword by John Zachman: The book is an exhaustive compilation of every possible subject and issue that warrants consideration in initiating and operating a Data Management responsibility in a modern Enterprise. It is impressive in its comprehensiveness. It not only identifies the goals and objectives of every Data Management issue and responsibility but it also suggests the natural organizational participants and end results that should be expected. The publication began as a non-trivial, sorely needed compilation of articles and substantive facts about the little understood subject of data management orchestrated by some folks from the DAMA Chicago Chapter. It was unique at the time as there was little substantive reference material on the subject. It has grown to become this pragmatic practitioners handbook that deserves a place on every Data Management professionals bookshelf. There is a wealth of information for the novice data beginner, but it is also invaluable to the old timer as a check-list and validation of their understanding and responsibilities to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks! It is impressive in it breadth and completeness. The DAMA-DMBOK Guide deserves a place on every Data Management professionals bookshelf and for the General Manager, it will serve as a guide for setting expectations and assigning responsibilities for managing and practicing what has become the very most critical resource owned by an Enterprise as it (the Enterprise) progresses into the Information Age: DATA! |

When you want to learn a new language you must buy at least a dictionary, it's your reference when you don't know the meaning of an specific word.
Well, the same happens with Data Management, if you are new in this universe you have to "take with you forever" this amazing body of knowledge .. I strong recommend this great piece of work ... you can read it chapter by chapter or you can go easliy for an specific topic. |

| I purchased this CD after reading the Information Management magazine review ([...]). I teach database design and data warehousing at a community college and I have made DAMA-DMBOK required reading for my students. It really covers the bases and the hexagon and circle data management summary symbols are invaluable to our industry. My only constructive criticism is that I would like to see a book version in addition to the CD version (sometimes I just need to highlight things). However, the pdf file does make it extremely easy to search and find information. |
The DAMA-DMBOK Guide is a must-read!

To echo John Zachman's opening comment int eh Foreword: Wow, what a truly monumental piece of work!
The DAMA-DMBOK Guide is the first of its kind in the data management profession, even though other Bodies of Knowledge exist in other professions. The development of a formal data management profession from a collection of different disciplines requires, actually mandates, that a Body of Knowledge be developed. That is exactly what was done here.
It is not easy pulling the first DAMA-DMBOK Guide together. Several hundred people were involved in developing and reviewing the contents, and preparing the final manuscript for publication. These people came from different disciplines, different professional backgrounds, and different operating environments. All had different ideas and thoughts about what should be included in a formal data management profession. However, in staying with the theme of 'professionals creating the profession', the input of a wide variety of professionals needed to be considered.
The evolution of the data management profession and the DAMA-DMBOK Guide is quite interesting. In the middle and late 1990's concern was growing about the development of a formal data management profession. A number of data management professionals feld that if we, the professionals, did not develop our own formal data management profession, that someone else would develop it for us. Those were very disconcerting times.
In the early 2000's a few of us in DAMA had a vision of a formal, certified, recognized, and respected data managemet profession. We developed an education curriculum, began formal certifications, established a Foundation, and prepared mission statements. We decided to develop a Body of Knowledge (BOK), which quickly evolved to a Complete Body of Knowledge (CBOK).
Subsequently, a discussion evolved about branding products DAMA developed. Accordingly, the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK) was estblished. Further branding led to the DAMA-DMBOK. Shen we initially looked at the contents of a complete body of knowledge, it ws clear that it could not be put into a single document. Hence, the DAMA-DMBOK Guide was conceived as a guide to the complete body of knowledge for data management.
The DAMA-DMBOK Guide was such a daunting task that development actually began with the DAMA Dictionary of Data Management published in 2008. The Dictionary, like the DAMA-DMBOK Guide is not perfect and will be revised. However, iut was a start and formed the foundation for the DAMA-DMBOK Guiide published in 2009.
The evolution of a formal data management profession can only continue if the professionals are actively involved. Every data management professional should become involved in the evolution of a formal data management profession. It is only through the active involvement of data management professionals that atruly vialble data management profession will evolve and survive. |
A Must have for all data folks

My DAMA days go back to Jo Meador (Boeing DRM / Puget Sound DAMA), Jo and Michael Brackett who both taught at the UW DRM program that I attended. The list of the contributors and reviews reads like a who's who.
This is great information. This is the best tool that DAMA has created in years. Way to go!!!!
