The 2010 Data Quality Blogging All-Stars
Jim Harris in Associations, Blogs, Data Quality, Vendors tagged Baseline Consulting, Business Intelligence, Data Governance, Data Quality Pro, DataFlux, IAIDQ, Initiate, Master Data Management, Recently Read Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 12:00PM The 2010 Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game is being held tonight (July 13) at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
For those readers who are not baseball fans, the All-Star Game is an annual exhibition held in mid-July that showcases the players with (for the most part) the best statistical performances during the first half of the MLB season.
Last summer, I began my own annual exhibition of showcasing the bloggers whose posts I have personally most enjoyed reading during the first half of the data quality blogging season.
Therefore, this post provides links to stellar data quality blog posts that were published between January 1 and June 30 of 2010. My definition of a “data quality blog post” also includes Data Governance, Master Data Management, and Business Intelligence.
Please Note: There is no implied ranking in the order that bloggers or blogs are listed, other than that Individual Blog All-Stars are listed first, followed by Vendor Blog All-Stars, and the blog posts are listed in reverse chronological order by publication date.
