As we are moving from a process oriented approach where data is the input and output of designed processes to a data-centric approach where data directs processes within organization and society, we need to radically change the way we approach data and the way we manage organizations and how we deal with compliance. Processes are designed, but data is embedded with “knowledge” itself, so how can we trust the outcome of a process that is directed by data itself? And how can we – as a society – trust organizations that uses data in such a manner? Emiel will address the way data has turned the world around and he will address these questions: what does your organization need to do to get a grip on data and how can legislation help. And it might not come as a surprise that semantic data management is a key ingredient to the solution!
