Data Ware­house

I am excit­ed to share my lat­est pub­li­ca­tion Data Ware­house with you. The book has been writ­ten by a team of well-known experts and is intend­ed to be a com­pre­hen­sive “go to” man­u­al for the man­i­fold legal ques­tions which need to be addressed when build­ing and run­ning a Data Ware­house, which has become a basic require­ment for any Big Data Pool as well as for the han­dling of var­i­ous dig­i­tal busi­ness mod­els because of its many pow­er­ful features.

These include the abil­i­ty to struc­ture dif­fer­ent data into var­i­ous schemes, the abil­i­ty to com­bine dif­fer­ent data sources and to per­mit con­ve­nient access and man­age­ment at any time.  The goal of a Data Ware­house is to have and give a quick, detailed, con­trolled and mean­ing­ful overview of the data in a com­pa­ny to share­hold­ers, clients, author­i­ties, investors… or indeed those requir­ing such an overview accord­ing to the respec­tive data dri­ven busi­ness models.

Of course, it is essen­tial to ensure com­pli­ance with the var­i­ous laws in ques­tion while still being able to real­ize the poten­tial of data shar­ing, data econ­o­my, data autom­a­ti­za­tion and data mon­e­tari­sa­tion in its entire­ty for the var­i­ous man­i­fold data-dri­ven busi­ness models.

With a well-con­ceived and designed Data Ware­house any com­pa­ny should be able to improve its respon­sive­ness by using real-time-data and being able to trans­form data into usable for­mats in order to increase its rev­enues with Big Data Analy­sis, AI devel­op­ments, Indus­try 4.0, dig­i­tal ecosys­tems and more to ful­ly real­ize its com­mer­cial poten­tial with regard to its respec­tive data dri­ven busi­ness mod­el. Only those who have and can oper­ate such a Data Ware­house will remain seri­ous play­ers in the dig­i­tal age and can pro­vide data exact­ly, con­sis­tent­ly, rel­e­vant­ly, and legal­ly on an up-to-date basis, as a “sin­gle point of ref­er­ence,” and on a “need to know basis” for var­i­ous dig­i­tal busi­ness models.

This legal guide will assist you in the fol­low­ing areas:

  • address­es cross-juris­dic­tion­al issues of a Data Ware­house envi­ron­ment such as issues of data pro­tec­tion, infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty, antitrust law, Open Data, var­i­ous legal forms and oper­a­tor roles, blockchain tech­nol­o­gy and lia­bil­i­ty risks
  • explains the tech­ni­cal back­ground of a Data Ware­house clear­ly and simply
  • dis­cuss­es prac­ti­cal rel­e­vant legal questions
  • offers con­crete, prac­tice-ori­ent­ed rec­om­men­da­tions, instruc­tions for plan­ning, set­ting up and oper­at­ing a Data Ware­house – all of which are sup­ple­ment­ed by numer­ous guid­ing prin­ci­ples and illustrations.

This legal hand­book has been con­ceived for com­pa­nies, lawyers work­ing in IT and data pro­tec­tion law, data pro­tec­tion author­i­ties, uni­ver­si­ties, asso­ci­a­tions, soft­ware developers…

I always look for­ward to hear­ing what my read­ers have to say!

Big Data and Law

My pub­li­ca­tion is Big Data and Law, which is avail­able in a Chi­nese edi­tion as well as the Ger­man and Eng­lish ver­sions. The book is a com­pre­hen­sive “go to” man­u­al for all legal ques­tions about data pro­tec­tion and GDPR.

Big Data and Law is to be viewed as an essen­tial guide for man­ag­ing com­plex legal chal­lenges in Big Data projects. While the book was orig­i­nal­ly intend­ed for lawyers, its acces­si­ble lan­guage, graphs and oth­er visu­als have turned it into a gen­er­al ref­er­ence guide for all pro­fes­sion­als, includ­ing data experts, man­agers, ana­lysts, con­sul­tants and auditors.

The world of data pro­tec­tion can be intri­cate and mul­ti-faceted and, in the post COVID world, data pri­va­cy pro­tec­tion will sure­ly remain a hot top­ic for a long time to come. I am cer­tain that Big Data and Law will serve as an invalu­able aid to both legal experts and oth­ers who need to nav­i­gate the legal world of Big Data with confidence.

I always look for­ward to con­struc­tive feed­back from my readers!
