Are you struggling to gain a thorough understanding of your organisation''s data resource? Are you finding that your data resource has become quite disparate through lack of understanding? Are you having difficulty developing meaningful meta-data about your data resource, or understanding the meta-data that have been developed? Do you agonise over finding a way to document your data resource that is thorough, understandable, and readily available? If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, then you need to read "Data Resource Data" to help you understand your organisation''s data resource. Most public and private sector organisations do not have a formal process for thoroughly documenting the entire data resource at their disposal, in any meaningful manner, that is readily available to everyone in the organisation. Most do not even have a formal design for that documentation. The much abused, misused, misspelled, undefined, and incomplete meta-data are not providing a denotative understanding of the organisation''s data resource, without which a high quality data resource cannot be developed. This book provides the complete detailed data resource model for understanding and managing data as a critical resource of the organisation. The model presents formal data resource data as a replacement for the relatively ineffective meta-data. It provides an excellent example of a formal data resource model, compared to a traditional data model, that can be easily implemented by any organisation. The use of data resource data ensures a thorough understanding of an organisation''s data resource and the development of a high quality comparate data resource. Like "Data Resource Simplexity", "Data Resource Integration" and "Data Resource Design", Michael Brackett draws on five decades of data management experience, in a wide variety of different public and private sector organisations, to understand and document an organisation''s data resource. He leverages theories, concepts, principles, and techniques from many different and varied disciplines, such as human dynamics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, philosophy, and biology, and applies them to the process of formally documenting an organisation''s data resource.
