Trade Review
A vital book for all IS professionals (from business analysts to web developers) who need to understand the effective management of that critical resource, information. -- Tony Jenkins * Past Chair, BCS Data Management Specialist Group *
I've used and recommended the first edition of Keith's comprehensive text for several years. I've found that both practitioners and students are able to easily make use of these important concepts. I'm very pleased with the expanded and updated treatments in the second edition. -- Peter Aiken PhD * Data Blueprint/VCU *
Keith Gordon has done an excellent job of laying out the full set of dimensions to be addressed for the effective management of an organization's information. -- David Hay * Essential Strategies, Inc. *
This book provides a great introduction for anyone involved in data management, or requiring an appreciation of what it is and why it is so important. -- Mehmet Hurer
