Data-Centric in Action

Originally aired:

About the Session

In 2017, an organization known as The Semantic Arts published their “data-centric manifesto” leading with this paragraph.

> “We have uncovered a root cause of the messy state of Information Architecture in large institutions and on the web today. It is the prevailing application-centric mindset that gives applications priority over data. The remedy is to flip this on its head. Data is the center of the universe; applications are ephemeral.”

While the vision and ideas of this manifesto are compelling, implementation details are scarce leaving the potential out of reach of many busy developers and architects.

Data-centric is a major departure from the current application-centric approach to systems development and management. Migration to the data-centric approach will not happen by itself.

This session is full of practical and actionable examples, insights, and approaches to this new paradigm. If you’re ready to consider the possibility that systems could be more than an order of magnitude cheaper and more flexible, then check out this session to see firsthand a new way to think about software and information systems.
