The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com) is a free on-line publication that focuses on the management of data and information as a valued corporate resource. Please register on-line at http://www.tdan.com/registra.htm.

In the past month there have been several updates to the newsletter ...

The Job Classified Section has been updated to include a Data Strategies Consultant and an Enterprise Data Architect position. Is one of these jobs right for you? This section is being sponsored by Knowledge Partners, Inc. Visit KPI to learn about the several openings that they have available.

Posted in the Book Review section is a review of the Clive Finkelstein/Peter Aiken book "Building Corporate Portals With XML". A second review of this book will be published shortly as well as several other reviews in the works. Please remember that TDAN.com reimburses the price of the book if a reader review is published in this section.

The Conference Section has been greatly improved and updated to include 40+ conferences. This makes the TDAN.com Conference List and Review section the most comprehensive list of conferences on the web.

Speaking of conferences ... In the next few months, several of the industry's premier conferences will be taking place.

February 22-24 the Warehouse Repository Architecture Development (WRAD) conference will take place in Orlando, FL -- Please visit http://www.wrad.com to learn more. This user group conference offers tremendous speakers and tutorial sessions. WRAD will discount the cost of registration by $100 if you mention TDAN.com.

March 19-23 the DAMA Symposium/Meta Data conference will take place in Washington, D.C. -- http://www.wilshireconferences.com/md/index.htm. This annual event is recognized for attracting top quality speakers and tutorials every year. Please visit these web-sites and mention that you learned about the conferences on TDAN.com.

... Last but not least, 200+ TDAN Survey responses were received. Special thanks to the individuals who took the time to answer the questions. The winners of the Amazon.com gift certificates are posted on the survey page.

The survey results will influence several changes in the works at TDAN.com. A search engine will be added before the next issue, the monthly perspective column may be removed from the site, and more attention will be paid to adding book reviews and conference listings (as mentioned above).

The article deadline for the next issue is March 1st. Please drop me a line if you are interested in publishing an article in an upcoming issue. As always, thank you very much for your interest in TDAN.com. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Best Regards.
