Data Architecture - 16 June 2003Barclays Bank provided this stunning location, Knutsford, Nr Manchester, for the second DAMA meeting. The theme for this event was Data Architecture. The event was well attended and the speakers were highly rated by delegates. Catering was sponsored by Metamatrix. Speaker Profiles and PresentationsIan Sinclair is the Information Manager for Cornwell Management Consultants and previously worked for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for 15 years. During the last ten years he has predominantly worked in Quality Management, with experience gained in implementing ISO 9002, Configuration Management and Information Management systems. Ian was the Data Quality Manager for the Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO), responsible for driving the organisation towards managing its data as a critical business asset. He was also a key member of The Cleansing Project (TCP), which delivered over £20M of savings to the MoD.
Peter Haine's early experience with relational database, whilst with the Savant organisation, taught him the importance of data modelling and data management fundamentals. In 1981 he worked with James Martin to build a training course in strategic data planning and relational data modelling that was delivered at public forums as well as to a plethora of blue chip companies in Europe and the US. Since that time Peter has never been far away from the challenges of integrating critical business processes, including a global supply chain initiative for GlaxoSmithKline, through ensuring a stable underpinning data environment.
John Oxton has worked in the IT industry for 25 years. For the last 20 of those years he has concentrated on data administration and design. He has worked as a DBA designing for several DBMSs including IDMSX, Tandem Relational, Teradata, DLI full function and Fastpath and DB2. Applications covered include customer operational data stores, account and transaction processing systems and data warehouses. For the last 7 years he has concentrated on Data Architecture within Barclays retail and business banking environments. Since May 2001, he has had the responsibility for implementing a data architecture across the whole Barclays.
Andrew Watson is Vice President and Technical Director at OMG, where he has overall responsibility for the technology adoption process, and also chairs the Architecture Board, which oversees the technical consistency of OMG's specifications. Before joining OMG's staff I had previously been representing ANSA at OMG meetings since 1990, and had chaired the ORB2 Task Force from its inception in 1992 until stepping down in 1996. After graduating from the University of Cambridge with first class honours in Computer Science and Engineering, I spent two years at Hewlett-Packard's Bristol Research Centre working on one of the first commercial X.400 implementations, and subsequently investigating the current state of software engineering practice within the company as a whole. I returned to Cambridge in 1987 to join Harlequin, then a newly-formed start-up with 12 staff, where I was one of the original designers and implementors of LispWorks, the company's ground-breaking Common Lisp programming environment for workstations, and later R&D manager, responsible for the company's extensive involvement in both British and European collaborative projects. (Harlequin has since been split into two companies; Global Graphics and Xanalys.) I joined the ANSA core team in 1989, working initially on the design of the ANSA Computational Model and DPL, a language realising that model. This evolved into work on type systems for distributed, object-oriented programming which has had a direct influence on the ODP reference model.
