> The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Industry Connections program has launched a new activity. The goal of the Big Data Governance Metadata Management (BDGMM) program is to apply Big Data governance and metadata management to enable consistent data integration/mashup among heterogeneous datasets from diversified domain repositories and make data discoverable, accessible, and usable through a machine readable and actionable standard data infrastructure.
> 
> Program Initiatives and outcomes may include:
> 
> Workshops with potential hackathons co-located at IEEE sponsored and/or related conferences to collect, analyze, and identify relevant use cases, requirements, and potential solutions, including documentation on the findings
> White paper(s) that frame the problems and identify issues and potential solutions from workshops
> Reference architecture(s) concepts and solutions from relevant best practices in big data governance and metadata management to formulate data interoperable infrastructure to enable data integration/mashup between diversified domain repositories, including those maintained by participating entities and IEEE Dataport
> Identification and initiation of IEEE standards activities (including recommended practices, guides) related to big data governance and metadata management, including the development of Project Authorization Requests (PARs) and recruitment of Working Groups within an appropriate IEEE Standards Committee
> Stakeholders - Who should join
> 
> We cordially invite scientists, researchers, developers, and practitioners to participate, review, discuss, comment, and provide contributions that could foster BDGMM activities from diverse perspectives and better support Big Data applications and analytics.
> 
> 
> Participation – How to join
> To express your interest in participating, please contact the BDGMM Chair, Wo Chang, <mailto:wchang@nist.gov?subject=Interest%20in%20IEEE-SA%20BDGMM%20Program> Digital Data Advisor, NIST.
