From ISO 8000 to DAMA DMBOK: Implementing Data Governance Frameworks in KNIME
Ahmed AlQutite, Mala’a
In today’s data-driven world, organizations are racing to adopt AI and advanced analytics. Yet, without trusted and well-governed data, even the most powerful models risk producing unreliable results.
This session explores how data governance forms the foundation for successful analytics and AI initiatives, and how the KNIME Analytics Platform can bring governance principles to life.
Practical demonstrations will cover ensuring data quality, lineage, and compliance within KNIME — from profiling and validation to logging and workflow documentation — and building reusable governance components that scale across organizations.
Drawing from financial data ecosystems, Ahmed will also show how governance frameworks aligned with ISO 8000 and DAMA DMBOK can be embedded into KNIME workflows, transforming raw data into trusted insights organizations can confidently act upon.
