A Discussion on Data Virtualization
Had a good conversation with Stephen Hayward of ProjectX around data virtualization. Stephen did a good job summarizing the discussion and providing some background, which you can see in this entry. Or go right to the podcast.

SOA and Metadata: Is Loose Coupling a Loose Cannon?
I was just reading Joe McKendrick's So much metadata, so little time post. It reminded me of a conversation I had last week with some IT folks at a large insurance vendor.
While Joe is really addressing the SOA Registry/Repository gap, my customers are looking at things a little differently. You could use the same title, but their metadata issue is a bit different - it takes forever to find what they need (data locations, definitions) today and they are afraid SOA will make things worse. Companies want the architectural and development efficiency SOA brings. It's just that they know it will complicate the whole metadata problem.

What Does Data Temperature Mean, and What's It Got to do with Data Virtualization?
I was reading a post from Dan Linstedt from last year on the temperature of data. This is a very interesting concept, and so intuitive I wondered why I had never heard it before.
I just wrote up the idea of the link between data temperature and data virtualization. You can see the whole entry here http://blogs.ipedo.com/integration_insider/2007/02/what_does_data_.html
