Data Management (DM) is an essential ingredient in knowledge capture, Knowledge Management (KM), collaborative Web-based working environments, and effective database design and use. We must evolve the practices of DM to effective, repeatable methods. We must establish new goals and objectives for data managers: develop new skills, embrace the use of technology, increase our understanding of hardware/software, incorporate legacy data effectively, and forge new working, cooperative relationships with information technologists, contracting specialists, program managers, engineers, and analysts. The purpose of this Data Management workspace is to facilitate this evolution and to share knowledge that holds value in the Data Management profession.
