The Data Interoperability Community of Interest Handbook provides the: * Rationale for Shared Data Environments across the Enterprise * Blueprint for Collaborative Data Sharing * Why Communities of Interest are Ideal Organizational Structures * How Communities of Interest are Best Engineered * Step-by-Step Strategies to Build Common Data Architectures * Methodology & Plan to Create Focused Organizations * Strategies for Meetings, Decision Making, and Voting * And Much, Much More!

This guide is based on data-driven requirements strategy, and the use of prototyping to evolve the business information system's design until all the fundamental requirements have surfaced, been tested, and been agreed to by users. All the techniques in the book are based on a real metadata repository and a business information system generator. Screen shots from both are included. (Computer Books)

This text sets out the five architectures businesses need to grow, shows the interrelationships among all the work products, and describes the metadata repository system needed to be successful.

This handbook provides the rationale for shared data environments across the enterprise and explains why communities of interest are ideal organizational structures. (Computer Books)

The Data Semantics Management book is divided into two volumes. Volume 2, this volume, addresses Deployment. Volume 1 addresses Rationale, Requirements, and Architecture. The approach embraced by these two volumes is founded on the idea of top-down and centralized architecture, engineering, policies, and procedures, but bottom-up, distributed accomplishment. If attempted only top-down, the outcomes will mirror familiar centralized czar-like failures of the past. If accomplished only bottom-up, the outcomes will be the vast forests of semantic stove pipes. Volume 2 presents these key topics:...

This volume justifies why accomplishing data semantics management is so critical to the overall success of data interoperability and shared data. The book identifies and describes the two error classes that prevent data interoperability and sharing, and each chapter concludes with an extensive set of questions and exercises.

Gorman comprehensively provides, defines, and illustrates uses of more than 900 terms and concepts that are critical to data management, database, enterprise database, ANSI Database Standards, DBMS Standards including SQL, and business information systems.

The last dogma defined by the Church is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heavenly glory. This dogma is the gateway to answer one of the greatest problems that has ever faced the human race. What is the meaning of life? Is death the end of everything?

Mary's Assumption tells us that eternal life with God is the final evolution of every man and woman who dies in the friendship of God. At the end of time all will be taken up and transformed, the body and the soul, the corporeal and the spiritual. For all that God created is sacred and loved. Where Mary is, all the...

The twenty papers by Mario Esposito (1887-1975) reprinted here date from 1909 to 1961, and complete the collection of his Hiberno-Latin studies presented in the first two volumes of his papers, published in the Variorum Collected Studies Series in 1988 and 1990. The studies exemplify Esposito's assiduous work with manuscripts, as he laid the foundations of this field (and indeed seems to have given it its name) and revealed the vast extent and nature of the literature, as well as his concern over the proper identification of Irish authors and texts. These papers are preceded by...
