                                People have a hard time communicating, and also have a hard time finding business knowledge in the environment. With the sophistication of search technologies like Google, business people expect to be able to get their questions answered about the business just like you can do an internet search. The truth is, knowledge management is primitive today, and it is due to the fact that we have poor business metadata management. This book is about all the groundwork necessary for IT to really support the business properly. By providing not just data, but the context behind the data. For the IT professional, it will be tactically practical--very "how to" and a detailed approach to implementing best practices supporting knowledge management. And for the the IT or other manager who needs a guide for creating and justifying projects, it will help provide a strategic map.


Audience
The market includes IT professionals, including those in consulting, working on systems that will deliver better knowledge management capability. This includes people in these positions: data architects; data analysts, SOA architects; metadata analysts, repository (metadata data warehouse) managers. Also, vendors that have a metadata component as part of their systems or tools.
