Data Governance Matters

Here at the Data Management & Information Quality Conference Europe 2008 (DM&IQ) event in London, there’s been a lot of talk about politics.

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually at these things, folks are careful to avoid such talk, but not this time. It may not come as surprise to those of you in the field, but nearly everyone I talked to (from the U.S. and from Europe) was passionately hoping Obama would win, and was very relieved when he did.

So of course some of us had to analyze this. Do you think it’s because we’re system people and used to looking at the big picture?
