We live in an age in which data and the contents are getting every day more and more importance in our daily life. Think about a better accessibility of data, regardless of their source (brands, people, companies, institutions), could be a sign of a strong innovation: it will become more and more critical to make people participate in the choices of those who administer and govern, not to a direction of specific and direct democracy, but in order to let who governs decide better what choices to implement for the common good.

73 Timothy W. Cook
Innovator at MLHIM
74 George Kobak
Test Automation Lead

I have found it proven time and time again that a data-centric approach to software development becomes particularly essential when it comes to automation. In a more abstract sense, we can call it being information-centric. In turn, genericizing the concept even further, we can call it being logic-centric. All this makes sense because code is simply the translation device of the logic or at least should be. These concepts were well understood years ago when I.T. used to be called data processing. COBOL is one of the most data-centric computer languages out there. It is not by accident that COBOL programs are still running although being decades old. Closely associated with the data-centric concept is the importance of set theory. Even in the field of pure mathematics research, it is being revisited. Also, Big Data has forced the issue of putting the focus back on what's really important. Data, data everywhere and not a drop of meaningful information to process teaches us that data without context is meaningless. If the data is to be centralized, the context needs to be known which can be self-described by the data itself, true. Where the data sits is simply the data container. But the context meant here is what provides the structure at the conceptual and logical level. In that sense then, physical structure is not needed. It all boils down to the ability of recognizing the data relationships (at the conceptual and logical levels) that are inherent in the information flow. Thus, modeling of these relationships at those levels is vital. So almost all application bugs occur because of things getting lost in translation in this information flow. But with a data-centric approach, an amazing thing happens in that code refactoring becomes automatic. So whatever code is initially written although appearing customized, is actually modular from the beginning because it is tapping into those abstract information layers that it is focused on. Therefore, the code refactoring comes from the architectural level of the information itself whi h is why it occurs automatically. To illustrate, it's like wool that keeps shrinking every time it's washed. And a side benefit is that it works directly against software entropy. The only disadvantage of this approach is that it is much harder to do and it takes much longer up front. But in the long run, it is much easier to maintain, is more stable, and saves more money than taking an application-centric or what we can call a code-centric approach to software development.

It is high time that organizations of all sizes recognize that they've forgotten the basics.

IT is not about buying you a computer, connecting your phone to the network, or cleaning a virus off of your workstation. It's about enabling the user to get to the data they need in order to perform their function in the organization.

Back in "the day" when I started my career we weren't called IT, we were called Data Processing. The harsh reality is that the application isn't the asset and never has been. What good is the application that your organization just spent north of 300K to license without the data?

Data always has been key in any enterprise. Today we see more harvesting of data, more use of (shared) data grids and although from a Sales perspective companies such as Oracle, SAP, Salesforce et al push their respective stacks, the fact remains that a lot of customers are trying to get back to basics with a view of their data. Its a healthy discussion to have.

148 Gordon Everest
Professor Emeritus of MIS and Database at University of Minnesota

I have long felt and advocated that data resources must be the central focus of IS/IT and the development of information systems in organizations. Get the underlying data "right" and you have some chance of achieving integration (one view), interoperability, sharability, flexibility, evolvability to satisfy new and changing information system requirements.
.. Thirty years ago I wrote about the "Copernican Revolution" in data processing. [Gordon Everest, "Database Management: Objectives, System Functions, and Administration" McGraw-Hill, 1986, pages 4-7, & 29, and that was an outgrowth of my doctoral dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania "Managing Corporate Data Resources," 1974]. There I suggested that rather than view the world in terms of data being inputs and outputs of programs (application program centric), we must view the world with data at the center and programs revolving around the data drawing from and adding to the organizational information resources. As Dave McComb correctly observes, the battle of the journey continues.

Want to evolve as a business? Be successful?

Then build your software on real business semantics.

Build on data and rules.

Application- and code-centric IT has been a recipe for business inflexibility, the opposite of agile. Building on a foundation of code is fast - a fast way of pouring glue all over yourself.

But starting from data is hard. Because the approach puts more demands on business leaders to really understand the why's and how's of their business!

Building the tools you need may be hard - but that's better than building the tools you don't need!

Start from business, express those requirements in data - and win!

170 David Chasteen
Owner at Enterprise Ecologist LLC

I am signing the manifesto because I have seen the dramatic inefficiencies and costs of the current approach.

I worked in an enterprise that had entangled itself into high complexity using the tactical, application-centric, or more accurately, a myopic, project-driven and application-centric approach and lost its ability to adjust to market and regulatory changes. This put the enterprise at high risk and, even if survivable, required a very costly and radical set of changes to become nimble again and stay competitive. I believe they succeeded but it was very costly across many dimensions.

The data-centric approach is one of the best ways to maintain business agility. I think the problem is one of education of enterprise leadership to understand that data/information/knowledge assets are a necessary (as in fundamental and required) and a strategic part of being a modern, competitive business.

The manifesto embodied many of the ideas my colleagues and I had recognized as we evaluated issues, problems, and lessons learned about failures and inefficiencies. The principles and other guidance is very similar to what we came up with and have seen in other thoughtful commentary in the industry. But I simply agree with it at an intuitive level based on my experience and observation over 30 years in enterprises. The waste and inefficiency of the current approach is enormous and I'd like to do my small part to make this better. Also, there are few people capable of understanding the full enterprise context. Dave McComb is one of those and has the stature, contacts, and authoritative presence to make it happen.

This seems a mundane item to most leaders, but if they knew its significance, they would ask why we are already not using a data-centric approach. I would perhaps even broaden the name to a knowledge-centric approach and leverage the modern knowledge management and representation technologies that have and are currently emerging. But the principles stand either way.

Modelling is all about classification. Each statement that you make about a certain domain can be categorized as a structural, a content or a processing constraint with respect to the data that you would like to use within an application. In doing this you can define the valid states and valid state transitions of an application that you would like to develop. This doesn’t assure that the data of an application is correct, but that the data is valid and that it complies to all the constraints that you have defined. Starting from a domain model (concepts with no relationships) and a life cycle approach (views) you can easily design consistent data models and robust applications using a data-centric step-by-step approach and find re-usable patterns along the way. I’m doing this for more than 20+ years now. The danger lies in the many mappings that you have to make along the development process to come to actual applications. Each mapping has the risk that you get ‘lost in translation’ and/or lose any of the earlier defined meaning. So, it is important to minimize the number of mappings that you have to make. In the end, the data should be the application.

As editor of the Data Base Newsletter from 1977 to 1998, data centricity was always our core belief. Nothing has changed. In the early days, it was challenged by structured analysis. Over the years it has been challenged by one process-centric methodology after another. But they always just dig the hole deeper for enterprises.

Our industry isn’t much interested in history, but here are some noteworthy facts. The idea of data centricity (then called data independence) goes back to the 1960s and probably the first true database management system (DBMS) called Integrated Data Store (IDS). IDS was designed by Charles Bachman, who received the Turing Award from the ACM in 1973. (He was a fine gentleman to boot.) Yes, network (CODASYL) databases were supplanted by relational in starting in the later 1980s (as machines became more powerful), but the idea of independent, shared (“integrated”) data stores as fundamental architecture had been proven in practice.

I have always held steadfast in this belief and will continue to do so. Today I believe “integrated” stores should apply not just to data, but to business rules and knowledge (semantics) as well. I applaud this Manifesto’s call to return to basics!

I believe in this manifesto from my heart and have invested my own money in a startup which is aligned to this philosophy that data is the oxygen to an application.

I have always been intrigued by organization's fascination for applications. Millions of dollars and inordinate energy is spent in selection and implementation of applications. But stats clearly show that majority of them are not successful and absence of meaningful data is cited as the main reason. What confounds me the most is that the same organizations repeat the cycle by going after a new application!

Recently I came across a CRM implementation which cost $4M to implement and it barely had 200 contact records after two years! Why the system is not used is still a mystery to the management!! These cases are rampant and it is a madness there which needs to be addressed.

I love the thinking of this manifesto and fully support it.

I think all the arguments against data centric,and in favor of domain centric are a little bit confuse and tendencious.
1-Costumers wants faster and cheaper systems,most of the time they don care about what Database are you going to use.And specialization is what takes to fast systems,not that is meant to run in several databases will be as fast and light as something specialzied,who earns money with the actual status quo?Microsoft,Amazon and everyione that sells bandwith,memory ,and cpu consuptiom.
2-Domain centric applicattions are easier to mantain,who said? Everytiem I see that I think people are using wordstar 1,I never ahs problems understanding somebodies elses code,specially those that use databases resources(stored procedures ans triggers heavilly).
3-(The most stupid one) A programmer hour costs more than a machine hour,if youŕe developing an applciation for internal use maybe,if you think that your applciattion is going to be uses by thousands of companies don.
4-You can unit test your business rules.In fact people today are not testing the applciattion as a whole,taking user interaction,and persistance,if youŕe not tunning automatized tools youŕe not testing your applicattion seriously.

541 Taylor Pechacek
Principal product manager at Atlassian

I believe that information technology as a whole is becoming more mature, complex, and varied in its substance and use as economies shift towards a more knowledge, or information, based economy. This will place technology, and information, at the center of a lot of economic activity.

On top of this, I believe that machine learning and artificial intelligence have the implicit assumption, and frankly require, that data is stored in a way that is useful and meaningful. This is almost never the case.

Given these things, it is important to place data near the center of discussion so that we can focus on how to leverage the data we have, refining that into useful knowledge, and then solving real-world problems for people using this knowledge through products & services.

In short, I am a fan and it sounds reasonable to me.

I have seen the basic tenets and trends towards the needs and benefits for a data centric architecture repeated over and over again in my work with CRM, customer analytics, loyalty, digital marketing, e-commerce and related solutions. Adopting a data centric architecture and making data a first class, primary organizing principle for solution architecture needs to be a vital imperative for all organizations, not just IT. Big data was an attempt to address this need but it only partially accomplished a true data centric architecture. I believe The shift to a data centric approach will be a major generational change in solution architectures and truly transformative, similar to the major impact and rethinking of approaches to IT infrastructure, platforms, and service architectures that the shift to Cloud/SaaS/Paas/DevOps rendered. It should be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

After over 40 years of programming experience and 30 years in the software industry, having watched fads come and go with fashion, I see the same code being hand-written again and again, with much the same problems to solve and almost always the same set of defects to resolve. The Cloud and Agile do not change this.

I see organisations that have many different (and incompatible) ways of storing a postal address within their own organisation. So much so that they now believe it is impossible to safely share such data across their systems due to multiple sources of the truth being a very real problem for them.

I see generation after generation of developer, bright eyed and full of enthusiasm, believing that their latest language, framework and development tool set is the greatest ever, yet they seem to be far less productive than developers from the late 1990s.

I see the shock on even experienced developers faces when I construct a non-trivial and high-performance 3-tier business application executable, without writing a single line of code, using a schema-driven RAD/JAD tool from 1997 with drag and drop capabilities in about 3 minutes. And yet, they still want to build their next application with hand-written Scala or Java or C# because, despite being shown they're really working in the stone age, they're in love with the expressiveness of their latest application programming language and its test framework.

As one developer put it to me: "I know what you've shown us in 3 minutes would take our (Agile) team 2 to 3 months to write, but I don't like it because it's just too easy and I prefer to write my own code because I trust what I'm doing". The same developer introduced over 180 defects in the next 4 sprints of his project: 45 per sprint on average.

I know of a major income tax return web application that delivers over a quarter of a G7 country's annual government revenue, but that is virtually impossible to make substantial modifications to because the government and systems integrator in question are both terrified of the cost of change: the government financially and the SI because of risk and the potential loss of reputation. Therefore the app, one of the worst designed Java applications I've seen - that uses textbook clean separation of concerns and object-relational mapping - remains in production for the foreseeable future after 11 years of a very expensive 24x7 "mission control" operations to see it though its annual peak of database traffic. This despite the fact that on the one occasion it failed, it kept call centres busy for several months as taxpayers tried and failed to get through to the Helpdesk to complain after being fined for this applications own technical failure on one night of the year.

The same government took direct control of reimplementing its corporation tax return as part of its Digital strategy and took 4 years rather than the 8 months originally estimated to deliver the front end (a web app). The server-side services have subsequently been left relatively untouched. The Digital programme, initially seen as the instigator of healthy "disruption" is no longer chomping at the bit. Nobody wants to rock the boat anymore or have their otherwise good reputation burned.

This best-performing government department in terms of IT delivery, responsible for collecting tax and duties, took nearly 3 years and nearly 300 million dollars to deliver a simple 3 page app running in a private government cloud. The app merely collected an email address in order that tax notifications could be sent to that email address by another system. The organisation is internationally celebrated as a exemplary Digital Service and is as Agile as any public or private organisation that I know of, being far better at Agile than most. Yet its crippled by the application-centric environment in which it exists.

This government department wins awards every year for its Digital platform (a very large collection of microservices), its innovation and dedication to modernisation. Nevertheless, after over 5 years, all the signficant nontrival tax web applications run on 2008-era J2EE technology, a very expensive proprietary database and an inflexible ERP system, maintained by one of the most expensive outsourcing contracts in Europe.

This same government department has always retained an in-house IT capability. This revolves around a mainframe computer dating from the late 1960s and, I understand, remains a provider of gainful employment for COBOL programmers.

The same is true of the banks. Some of the biggest and most successful banks in the world (and I speak from experience having dealt with some of the biggest banks in one or the world's two leading financial centres) have incredibly antiquated systems. So old in fact that ASCII character encoding is too recent to be compatible with their systems. Again, they're terrified of the costs and risks of change and so stick to technology that was already appearing dated in the early 1970s. Yet the costs of maintaining these systems and the extensions to them are astronomical.

This costs all of us, be it through charges, taxes or lost opportunities. It stifles competition and innovation. And sooner or later it must come to an end. A Data-centric vision, combined with other advances and technologies is now at the point of being able to deliver a fundamental shift in the way that we think about and develop IT systems.

I am absolutely convinced that the Data-centric approach is the most sensible and pragmatic way to change the current state of affairs. I believe that advances in ML and rediscovery of programming paradigms compatible with the Data-centric approach will inevitably (and at some point quite quickly) replace the status quo.

Data centricity for organizations was clarified for me in conversations with Fabio Carrera, whose thesis on "City Knowledge" (MIT, 2004) [1] made a very strong case for capturing, indexing, and exposing data at the the moment when data is first entered into the administrative functions of a city.

In Carrera's example, the creation of a property record would be annotated and linked to any subsequent actions related to it over time, such as assessments, taxes, repairs, renovations, etc. Further, Carrera's field work (mapping the canals, sculptures, bridges, and gondola routes of Venice) [2] only served to reinforce the vital need for holistic data about the city, rather than each sector keeping the best data inside of a self-contained silo. In many cases, it may be impossible to avoid building a silo, but with a data centric perspective, you can avoid the worst problems when dealing with interoperability and migration later on.

This led me to focus on channelizing communications, and indexing content (both informally, as with SOLR, and formally, with tags, metadata, or ontologies).

The holistic approach to data development was a big influence in the development of the China Historical GIS, [3] and the ChinaMap [4] resources. Similarly the need for open linked data drove the development of the CHGIS XML Webservice (2006) and eventually the Temporal Gazetteer (2014).[5] Free access and machine-actionable web services are essential for our data-centric future, though we should also realize that curated data that exposes its methodologies and operable code has long-lasting value that is not superceded by generation of infinite streams of unclassified, unorganized, raw data.

Data itself, without proven methods for processing and interpretation, is a mountain of undifferntiated rock. It's up to us to find the jewels, and during the search keep our minds open to new perspectives. It is the interstitial and unanticipated relationships between datasets gathered for unrelated purposes that prove to be quite interesting.

The data centric approach, to my mind, is synonymous with focus, with avoiding redundancy, with compatibility, with convergence of efforts within an organization, and finding modes of contact and support with collaborators outside.

There are a variety of challenges in biomedical data integration that stand in the way of scientific insights. The variety of data models from lab information systems, lab notebooks, and mountains of excel spreadsheets really undermine the ability to ensure that the right data is in the right place at the right time to answer a question or test a hypothesis. I think it is critical to bring a data-centric mindset, architecture, and model-driven systems into the biotech industry if we are going to produce trustworthy analyses that drive innovation for patients in need.

As a government worker and information/data architect, one of my drivers is a more transparent and evidence-based public service and civil society.
This isn’t going to happen without a bunch of us promoting and enabling the optimal use of information & data assets for government business delivery and decision-making.
Being “data-centric” serving this purpose also means being “data-driven”, and it means that data isn’t a byproduct of applications anymore, it’s an enterprise asset of it own.
This also means that a more significant portion of data architecture & engineering has to be done in a technology-agnostic way; that a lot of efforts need to be invested in the (business) semantics and (data) syntax before getting into implementation & technology considerations.

I have indeed witnessed that whatever efforts you put in the development and maintenance of an Application-Centric architecture, it will turn into an uncontrollable mess with passing years. It is just a matter of time.

Data-Centric is the new way to go, but people are so much used to Application-Centric that this change of paradigm is met at best with scepticism.

For the future of data, we need to change this state of mind. Spread the word !

Throughout my IT career, a primary industry concern has been the accidental creation of data silos caused by narrowly focusing on individual applications, instead of enterprise concerns. Primary focus on data, which is the most valuable community of an enterprise, and developing applications around enterprise data strategies, is the one great hope of removing data silos and creating truly integrated applications in support of improved business processes.

One reason I got into this space was due to many clients asking me the same repeated question over and over: how do they represent common discoverable business/organizational concepts (people, organizations, roles, events, things… etc) that retain live expressive consistency across the organization, as they adapt over time, and due to business internal/external change…?

Traditional application-centric and data warehousing approaches were spawning myriad representations and introduced inconsistencies that hurt at both operational and regulatory level. One of the drivers for this difficulty is in the patterns and tooling available to architects and developers. We need to change this and make data the universal center, and provide the tools, patterns, and access to support this.

This time period spans from almost-no to almost-all web technologies and everything in between. There must be something in it.

We have been advocating for a data-centric approach to healthcare for over a decade. Future applications, apps and algorithms will be based on a vendor-neutral clinical data repository which provides a cradle-to-grave, longitudinal patient record and serves as a single source of truth. As long as data is tightly coupled with applications like in today’s leading EHRs, we will make only incremental improvements.

CEO at TriSplit, Inc.

This is the story of my 50 year career in programming from cards in FORTRAN to HTML, JS, and Node.js. As a subject matter expert and computer engineer, I have written over a million lines of code, a lot of which became obsolete and a lot of it was for converting data from one app to another.

I call it code and data integration hell. There is a reason why PLM and Digital Twin systems cost so much and then fail. The computing world should be more than competing battles between zero-sum suites.

It's not clear what the goal is here, but TriSplit (www.trisplit.com) is my solution. It was started in 2014 and has gone through three working revisions on the desktop. It will be available to all online starting in the spring of 2022. It's like YouTube for code and data in a universal form where anyone can wrap pieces together to create new solutions with no programming. Advertising and SaaS revenue services will be provided.

TriSplit splits the app into three plug-and-play components of data, code, and UI. It does things not possible ay other way. It defines a universal and open definition for any program data and data structure using JSON files. Data can be defined independently from apps. It will provide an open and universal API for code, data, and UI.

TriSplit will provide large repositories of universal data, code and UIs that include table/grid data and geometry.

The biggest historical problem in computer science is OOP in the form of classes unique to each computing language. Data and code need to be split and not encapsulated internally in an app and defined by one group. Global and open data definitions need to be defined by subject matter experts that cross all horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal markets.

Application-centric development is based on functions that works in 2 dimensional parameter X argument world. Thus, you need a lot of effort to construct some meaning.

In other hand, Data-centric development is based on dataframes that works in three dimensional world: lines, columns and value. So, you can express much more meaning with less effort.

Well, for unstructured data as audio and video, application-centric works well. However, for structured data of Information Systems data-centric can work much better because of nature of business rules that depends on multiples rules with multiples parameters each (control table).

In conclusion, it's time for evolve Information Systems of organizations from 2 to 3 dimensional to avoid the messy codebase and unleash the data potencial of the organizations!

Data and information architecture is fundamental pillar and source of significant competitive advantage for any enterprise today if done right.

My 21+ years of experience in developing business applications (good and bad) has taught me that it is high-time we start getting being champions and advocates of 'right data' and information architecture for enterprises.

1382 Junior Schoeman
Managing Director / Founder at Innate Talent Discovery

A first step in realising the need to move to a people-centric mindset is choosing data over applications.

The issue we face is demonstrated by the fact that "legacy systems continue to become more and more entrenched while at the same time our silos are becoming more and more numerous."

"As their information footprints become more and more dispersed, astute observers have noted that while big data, the cloud, and Software as a Service (SaaS) improve things for people, very small businesses, and startups, they actually make things worse for enterprises.”

The difference between small and large organisations is the context that links people to one another. This context is lost as the gap between the top and bottom of an organisation widens, with people prioritising the drive for applications over the experience of people.

Although moving toward a more data-centric mindset is a positive step, we still need to put data understanding at the human data core and how we access it.

We must ask ourselves what specific information is missing from the data? In order for people to process and adapt to the complexity that gives data its meaning, the next evolution must place data in a context of complexity and align it to a human-centric plane.

This is why I am signing this DATA-CENTRIC MANIFESTO to support and explore that evolution.

If data reflects how we share information with each other, we will have to ensure that we can identify it unambiguously and we will have to indicate in which situation it is/was relevant. This means that data must be able to describe itself independently of any application in order to be reusable. This makes data self-identifying and determines the situation whether data can and may be reused.

"The Data-Centric revolution puts data at the center of the enterprise."

Data is too often an incidental by-product of system-specific operational transactions.

As our data collections continue to grow, so does that cost.

Enterprises today are under pressure to evolve rapidly to keep up with ever changing markets. But the information needed to truly evolve is often housed in disparate parts of the org, using piecemeal systems that are impossible to integrate in a holistic way to truly understand business health and the bigger picture of the challenges they are faced with. The solution isn't another information silo, and the solution isn't millions more lines of hand-written, brittle integration code.

The rate at which we are producing data increases exponentially while the rate at which we can integrate data in the old ways remains linear. Whether we are ready to admit it or not, we've outgrown the old paradigms. The future is Data-Centric. Savvy enterprises are figuring this out and gaining competitive edge, the rest will soon be left behind or marginalized.

As a firm believer in the principles of the Semantic Web, I always had a data-centric world view. The separation of the functionality layer from the data layer is necessary for being FAIR with our data.

Next to that I see advantages (amongst others) in:
- Greater agility: Data-centric software development can lead to greater agility, allowing us to adapt more quickly to changing ontologies, requirements and market conditions;
- Improved data quality: Because applications are visitors to the data, the data must have a better base quality and only if we think data-centric this is going to change.

By putting data at the center of our thinking and designing software systems that are built around data, we can unlock new possibilities and create applications that are truly transformative.

I think we need to return to think about how data are today sometimes explicitly connected, and most of the time how they design instead a dense network of "implicit" facts that is part of our current life.

When I think about data I always think about relations: between things, between different levels of knowledge, between human beings.

I have worked to get Boeing to move to a data-centric approach for most of my 35 year career. We have solved many of the technical problems that have stood in the way of a data-centric business, but the commercial interests that profit from holding company data hostage have so far been too strong for that approach to be realized. To achieve this vision it is necessary to invest in substantial IT development to augment commercial products, which would have major ROI benefits, but IT investment is now often viewed as if it were a commodity cost even when it is not i.e. has very large ROI benefits.
