CrossBoundary Data Sharing CitizenCentric Compliance and Tactics for...



Major transformations are under way in both government and private sector organizations with regard to the managing and sharing of information. With new mandates requiring federal agencies to change from being program-centric to citizen-centric; other regulations forcing agencies to increase consumers' accessibility to previously locked information; and governing and implementing data-sharing across functional, agency, enterprise, federal, state, and local boundaries remaining of critical concern for both national security and commercial interests, a new crop of challenges (as well as opportunities) is emerging for data management professionals.





The 2007 Metatopia conference (http://www.wilshireconferences.com/metatopia/agenda.html) are strategically planned to coincide with and address these developing regulations and transformations: cross-boundary data sharing, taking into consideration issues of security, integration and ownership; semantic technology, as it is being used throughout the Federal Government as well as in the private sector as a means of integrating data from disparate sources; geospatial data management; unlocking information for greater consumer accessibility; strategies for transitioning from a culture of "need to know" to one of "need to share"; and issues of data management in the healthcare industry, including using Semantic Web technology as a means for solving real-world, large-scale, problems; meaningful integration to address public health surveillance; and next-generation public health information systems as part of a larger, complex and dynamically-changing collaborative environment.



Speakers at Metatopia 2007 include business and technology leaders from organizations such as US Department of the Interior, The MITRE Corporation, BLM, US Department of State, SAIC, NCICBIIT, T. Rowe Price, IBM, Essential Strategies, Data Consulting Group, Semantic Arts, Zepheira, University of Texas Health Science Center and Olmsted Medical Center. Other topics of interest highlighted at Metatopia 2007 include managing data as a national asset, the National Information Exchange Model, data governance frameworks, data quality assurance, the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy, SOA and data integration, cross-boundary sharing with persistent identifiers, implementing the ISO 11179 Metadata Standard, contentious data modeling issues, new products and technologies for large-scale integration and Sarbanes-Oxley and Health IT legislation compliance.
