Our Book: Making Sense of NoSQL

Making Sense of NoSQL (Manning Site)

This is a book I wrote on database selection with Ann Kelly. It got good reviews and I feel that the patterns we identified in this book will be relevant for many years to come. I am most proud of Chapter 12 that shows how to use the CMU SEI Architectural Tradeoff Analysis Process (ATAM) to perform objective matching between a business challenge and a database architecture.

1. NoSQL: It's about making intelligence choices
2. NoSQL concepts
3. Foundational data architecture patterns

Webinar: The National Information Exchange Model and Semantic-Driven Development

Recorded April 14, 2010, 11:00AM

The National Information Exchange Model and Semantic-Driven Development

Since 2002, several US federal agencies have been deploying XML standards for the exchange of complex data sets. Led by a large project at the US Department of Justice and homeland security, there are now hundreds of states and vendors supporting an emerging XML standard called the National Information Exchange Model or NIEM. This presentation will look at the NIEM processes and show how they are being used to promote semantically precise data exchanges as well as promoting transparency in government. We will compare ISO-based NIEM processes with RDF and OWL and show how they complement each other.
