Data And Reality
book about data/metadata by William Kent - ISBN:1935504215
Hillel Wayne on why the 2nd edition is most important: People who've listened to me for more than, like, five minutes probably know that my favorite software book, bar none, is Data and Reality. It's about how data is terrible and we can't accurately capture data in information systems because we don't know what we, as the people capturing the data, actually mean when we think about things.
