New & Exclusive: See Your Own Metadata in
the Latest Tools at the Conference!
Don't come empty-handed to the exhibits! For the first time, Wilshire will partner with
Meta Integration to provide a unique and powerful demonstration capability at the
conference. Bring your own data or object models from popular design tools, your data
integration models from popular ETL tools, and your dimensional and reporting models
from business intelligence tools, and you can see
them converted between the technology and tool
of your choice. Exhibiting vendors across the
show floor will be set up to show you how your metadata converts to their tool while
you watch! Meta Integration will also demonstrate metadata stitching for detailed lineage
and impact analysis graphical tools for today's complex multi-vendor environments,
therefore providing the "technical truth" on the origin of data behind all reports (as
required for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance).
How Can You Participate?
Bring your files to the conference (on CD or jump drive),

Metadata Integration: Vendor Panel - New: 2 hours in plenary session room with 14 vendors!
(slides)
Tuesday, April 25 at 10:30am - 11:30am and 11:45am - 12:45pm
Christian Bremeau (Meta Integration President, CEO)
For the first time at this conference (and perhaps anywhere) most of the major
metadata vendors will provide a speaker/panelist for this extensive discussion of
metadata integration. These are the people and companies who are responsible for
making interoperability possible between their disparate tools.
In this panel of (mostly) tool developers, we will learn how each one
approaches the metadata component of their system and how they make it
available to other vendor tools. We all know that the available solutions
are not perfect yet, so what are the challenges and opportunities
as the vendors see them, and what can you as the customer expect
to see in future software releases and build-outs?

Metadata Integration: Best Practices
(slides)
Monday, April 24 at 5:00pm - 6:00pm
John R. Friedrich II (Meta Integration Director, Professional Services)
Most organizations have several tools CASE and
modeling tools, data integration (EAI, ETL, EII)
and data warehousing tools, business intelligence
(BI, OLAP) reporting and analysis tools. The ability
to interoperate between those tools for example,
to trace the data lineage across BI, to ETL, to Mart,
to DW, to ETL, to CASE, etc.,is absolutely critical
to the business. Increasingly, thanks to the metadata
integration and standardization efforts of the
OMG, Meta Integration and others, metadata can
now be captured and represented commonly
between these different environments, allowing for
effective version and configuration management,
impact analysis, lineage analysis, and numerous
other benefits. This session offers use cases to show
how customer organizations can take advantage of
these industry developments.
