Data Management -----------------------------
Data management
comprises all the disciplines related to managing data as a valuable
resource. The official definition provided by DAMA is that "Data Resource
Management is the development and execution of architectures, policies,
practices and procedures that properly manage the full data lifecycle needs
of an enterprise." This definition is fairly broad and encompasses a number
of professions which may not have direct technical contact with lower-level
aspects of data management, such as relational database management.
Topics in Data Management include:
Data modeling
Database administration
Data warehousing
Data movement
Data mining
Data quality assurance
Data security
Meta-data management (data repositories, and their management)
