Terminology Management

Definitions are important enough in ordinary life but in information management they are vital. Data - the raw material of information management - can only be used if it is understood, and it can only be understood if it has adequate definitions. This webinar describes what you need to do to improve the quality of definitions and how governance of definitions and the metadata that is required to manage definitions should be organized. As the rate of change accelerates, a proven, pragmatic solution becomes more urgent with every passing day.

Agenda:

Demonstration of RuleXpress by Rik Gerrits (35 min). Illustration of essential capabilities with respect to defining terms, synonyms, homonyms and associated metadata, including two brief case studies.

Q & A (10 min).

Technical discussion will be strictly reserved for the final 20 minutes. Bring your managers and business colleagues for the non-technical portion!
