DMBOK Version 1

The “body of knowledge” about data management is quite large and constantly growing. To respond to this challenge DAMA International provides the DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge, or DAMA DMBOK, as a “definitive introduction” to data management.

DAMA DMBOK defines a standard industry view of data management functions, terminology and best practices, without detailing specific methods and techniques. While DAMA-DMBOK is not a complete authority on any specific topic, it will point readers to widely recognized publications, articles and websites for further reading.

First edition of the DAMA DMBOK is currently available in print and PDF editions through Technics Publications.
