At Enterprise Data World 2010, I will be presenting on how to automate management of reference data, enumerations, and other data instances, especially for situations where a data architect has chosen a more generalized data modeling approach.

Why this topic? I believe that data architects should be managing or at least monitoring reference data throughout the development process, including production.  Given the sheer volume of reference data, we need tools and techniques that go beyond writing up a data quality/integrity requirement and hoping someone takes care of it.

Do you leave the management of reference data, codes, and enumerations up to developers or users? If so, you could be adding more risk than you are aware of. In this presentation, Karen Lopez demonstrates tools and techniques for managing reference data and codes. Includes 10 success tips for keeping models and code values in sync.

Topics will include:

• Who should manage these?
• How should they be managed?
• How do we monitor their use?
