Web 2.0 and enterprise data management

This is a great post that every one who would like to understand web 2.0 in enterprise context must read. This article by Sam Lowe provides greater clarity on Web 2.0 and its implications for enterprise data. The interesting point that is made is more than technologies,the ideas behind web 2.0 is what is going to impact the enterprises' way of managing data. The participatory nature of Web 2.0 as applied to data management is a revelation and must form part of agenda that practitioners must shape and develop. To that effect Sam has also suggested to run a workshop. I feel its a great idea and interested people can congregate and dive more deeply into these issues.
