The Data Management Association (DAMA), formerly known as the Data Administration Management Association,[citation needed] is a global not-for-profit organization which aims to advance concepts and practices about information management and data management.[1] It describes itself as vendor-independent, all-volunteer organization,[2] and has a membership consisting of technical and business professionals. Its international branch is called DAMA International (or DAMA-I), and DAMA also has various continental and national branches around the world. Its origins dates back to 1980 in Los Angeles.[2]

Data Management Body of Knowledge

DAMA has published the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK), which contains suggestions on best practices and suggestions of a common vernacular for enterprise data management. The first edition (DAMA-DMBOK) was published on 2015 April 5,[3][4] and the second edition (DMBOK2) was published on 2017 July 1.[5]

DMBOK has been described by the authors as being an "equivalent" to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK).[6] It encompasses topics such as data architecture, security, quality, modelling, governance, big data, data science, and more.[7]

DAMA also provides a professional data management certification for individuals known as a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP),[8] which is based on the DMBoK as a study reference.[9] It is an example of one of many competing certifications for data management professionals.[10]
