4:00 pm - 4:30 pm

This session will focus on two new products from IBM Information Integration Solutions.  Davor Gornik will present an overview of IBM Rational® Data Architect, an enterprise data modeling and integration design tool.  Nathan Bobbin will present an overview of IBM WebSphere® Business Glossary, a web-based tool for authoring, managing and sharing business metadata.

Nathan joined IBM with the acquisition of Ascential in 2005.  Before becoming Product Manager for Metadata Services, Nathan was involved with multiple metadata management projects as a consultant and in product development.  In his current role as Product Manager of Metadata Services, Nathan is responsible for understanding market requirements and developing a product strategy accordingly.

Davor started his career as a software developer and architect in the early days of CASE, 4GL and UNIX.  His experience with technologies expanded to OO, UML, IE, SOA RDBMS, II and other acronyms (which explains why his articles do not contain any unexplained, three-letter abbreviations).
