TDAN.com New Issue Announcement - August 2008

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

Dear TDAN.com Readers,

The new issue (August 2008) of The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com) is now available on-line at http://www.TDAN.com. TDAN.com is in its 12th year of publication with the reader-base and the content-base growing tremendously with your support and interest. Read on to learn about all of the new content included in the August issue.

MORE CONTENT MORE OFTEN” means more opportunity for you to get your articles published in this popular e-publication for Data Management Professionals.

The August issue contains New Articles from me, Robert S. Seiner (Stewardship Approach to Data Governance: Part 9 - The Operational Data Steward), Scott Benson (The 10-Minute Data Model Review Part 2), Bill Lewis (Data Lineage) and Mike Gorman (Function Points). Four Feature Columns were added – Bob Dominko's Unwired Tap is being run a month late (sorry Bob!), DAMA's Deborah Henderson has written about the DMBOK, Ron Ross's new Feature Column on Business Rules and Adrian Miley focuses on Design and Architecture.

Two Special Features have been added for August inclduing one from Larry P. English (in cooperation with the IRM UK's Data Management and Information Quality Conference Europe 2008) and one from quarterly columnist Craig S. Mullins on Database Auditing for Security and Compliance. Links to new articles on the Business Intelligence Network have been added as well.

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 is coming soon! 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. The quote of the week (Winston Churchill) 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.
