All opinions will be welcome on the following topics: - Does the DA function have to do with the physical environment(Oracle,DB2 or other) - I donīt think so. - Does the DA have to be under the development group or directly related to the adminstrative staff? I believe itīs on the second group - Is the DA function technical(related to the first question) or purely conceptual, once the DA is the enterpriseīs information keeper. I believe itīs more conceptual than any other function in IT. I thank you all in advance for sharing your ideas, Marco
