DAMA Canberra Chapter's Corporate members include the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Centrelink, Customs, Department of Defence (DoD), Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA), Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA), Attorney-General's Department, Australian Sports Commission, Medicare Australia and Geoscience Australia. There are also a number of individual members who are independent contractors and consultants working in government agencies.

The Chapter holds bi-monthly meetings and hosts regular meetings of the Metadata Implementors Group that focuses on metadata standards, metadata registries, and other emerging metadata issues.

The major benefit sought by members is to be part of an informal network to hear guest speakers, network, and exchange ideas with data managers who have similar responsibilities in other organisations. To assist the networking, DAMA provides cocktails or a dinner with each meeting. On average thirty members will attend each meeting.

Next Meeting: 

Topic:   New Opportunities in Data Warehousing  [view/hide details]

Synopsis:

The recent arrival of more cost effective, high performance databases along with the Virtualization trend is expanding the range of applications that can be supported off the back of a Data Warehousing infrastructure. This talk includes a demonstration of such an application from the Banking Industry and a discussion about it’s supporting Architecture and types of application opportunities implicit in the technology. These opportunities are based on extending the range of data available, delivering information at a finer and more relevant level while also providing a user driven mechanism to fine tune that same information.
