The focus of my last column, titled Crossing the Data Divide: Data Catalogs and the Generative AI Wave, was on the impact of large language models (LLM) and generative artificial intelligence (AI) and how we disseminate knowledge throughout the enterprise and the future role of the data catalogs. Spoiler alert if you have not read […]

The Book Look: Cassandra Data Modeling and Schema Design

I love writing this column for TDAN. It lets me discuss what I learned from a newly released data management book. When I publish a book through Technics Publications, I see the manuscript mostly through the eyes of a publisher. But when I write this column, I see the manuscript through the eyes of a […]

Explainable AI: 5 Open-Source Tools You Should Know

Handling Data Concerns in 2024 and Onwards

Looking back, then forward, is a traditional exercise by year-end. Which data concerns are important enough to worry about in 2024? Which of those do we stand a chance of doing something good for in 2024? Needless to say, money (budget and costs) is an issue. But even more needless to say, solving real business […]

Who Needs A Data Model Anyway?

These days, there is much conversation about the necessity of the data model. The data model has been around for several decades now and can be classified as an artifact of an earlier day and age. But is the data model really out of date? And exactly why do we need a data model, anyway? […]
