Crossing the Streams: The increasingly irrelevant distinction between structured and unstructured data

In this webinar Daragh will discuss the increasingly irrelevant distinctions between structured and unstructured data and what that means in practice for organisations. He will take delegates through a potted (and irreverent) history tour of how we came to be where we are, will walk through a case study example of what this means in practice, and what it means when we consider it through the DMBOK lens. Daragh O Brien is founder and managing director of Castlebridge, one of Ireland’s leading consultancies working in data strategy, data governance, and data protection. Since founding Castlebridge in 2009, Daragh and his team have worked with organisations of all sizes across a variety of sectors, including start-ups, SMEs, Non-Profits, Government bodies, EU institutions and other International Organisations. Amongst other publications, Daragh is a co-author of Data Ethics (2nd Edition), published by Kogan Page, lectures in UCD School of Law and the Law Society of Ireland on Data Governance and Data Protection. He is also a member of the Innovation Value Institute in Maynooth University. He is a Fellow of the Irish Computer Society and a Fellow of Information Privacy from the IAPP. Daragh helped develop and deliver the ICS’s pioneering Certificate in Data Protection Practice over a decade ago. In addition to the day job, volunteer work in various professional organisations, and teaching, Daragh is also doing a Doctorate in Data Governance in the University of Limerick.
