Introduction
The Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK) is a reference manual and collection of best practices, providing a common vernacular and standards for managing data across an enterprise.

History and Versions of the Data Management Body of Knowledge
DMBOK was first published in 2015, and was authored by the Data Management Association (DAMA), a non-profit organization created for the purpose of developing the profession of Data Management by education and certification using best practices. DMOK 2, the latest version, was published July 1, 2017.

The DMBOK is targeted at a variety of information/data professionals on both the technical and non-technical side, serving as an instrument for data literacy for data creators (knowledge workers) and data consumers (executives, managers, researchers, analysts, data scientists) and for the data management professionals that connect data creators to data consumers (IT managers, data engineers, business intelligence engineers, data visualization experts, and data scientists serving dual roles as creators and consumers). DMBOK places emphasis on the fact that technology by itself does not ensure good information delivery, it requires a strong partnership across the enterprise.

DMBOK also serves as a study reference for professional certification as a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP).

DMBOK version 2
The second version was listed among the "Top 12 Best Data Governance Books You Should Read"

DMBOK 2 contains the same materials as the original DMBOK with a few changes to naming conventions, e.g. "Functional Areas" are now "Knowledge Areas", and the addition of more detail for each knowledge area. Data governance is recognized in this edition as being at the heart of and the connector between all knowledge areas. In comparing the chapters, effort has been made to further emphasize the role that data plays in organizational change, and presumably, digital business transformations and also to describe recommended roles and expectations for managing data across an enterprise.

New topics include "Data Integration and Interoperability" and cloud/big data has also gained attention.

Other topics have been rearranged including Ethics which has become a hot topic in the industry due to changing regulations around information privacy including GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act.

The knowledge areas covered by DMBOK 2 include:


 * Big Data and Data Science (new in v2)
 * Data Architecture
 * Data Governance
 * Data Handling Ethics (separate topic in v2)
 * Data Integration and Interoperability (new in v2)
 * Data Management (new in v2?)
 * Data Management Maturity Assessment (new in v2?)
 * Data Modeling and Design (new in v2?)
 * Data Management and Organizational Change Management (new in v2?)
 * Data Management Organization and Role Expectations (new in v2?)
 * Data Quality Management
 * Data Storage and Operations (similar to Data Operations Management in v2?)
 * Data Security
 * Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence
 * Document and Content Management
 * Metadata Management
 * Reference and Master Data

=== DMBOK version 1 === The intent of the first edition of DMBOK was to create an equivalent of the Project Managers Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the Business Analysts Book of Knowledge (BABOK). While this version can also be used to study for the CDMP, it may not cover the newer topics including data integration/interoperability, cloud/big data, and ethics. CDMP exams often draw from inference across topics, e.g. you may need to know data governance, metadata, and data quality to pass the Data Quality exam.

The functional areas covered by DMBOK include:


 * Data Architecture Management
 * Data Development
 * Data Governance
 * Data Quality Management
 * Data Security Management
 * Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence
 * Database Operations Management
 * Document & Content Management
 * Meta Data Management
 * Reference & Master Data Management
 * Professional Development
