Semantic Modeling for Data
What value does semantic data modeling offer? As an information architect or data science professional, let's say you have an abundance of the right data and the technology to extract business gold - but you still fail. The reason? Bad data semantics. In this practical and comprehensive field guide, author Panos Alexopoulos takes you on an eye-opening journey through semantic data modeling as applied in the real world. You'll learn how to master this craft to increase the usability and value of your data and applications. You'll also explore the pitfalls to avoid and dilemmas to overcome for building high-quality and valuable semantic representations of data. ...

70 Tips and Tricks for Mastering the CISSP Exam
Learn how to think and apply knowledge in a practical way. Tackling the CISSP exam is vastly different from simply understanding the subject matter. Even the most experienced security professionals can fail because the questions are tricky and ask the test taker to pick the best of the options given. The CISSP exam conducted by ISC2 is the hardest and most rewarded cybersecurity examination. The test has several domains and sub-domains and covers a wide range of topics on security, including cyber and physical building security fields. It also covers breaches, discovery of breaches, and how to report data breaches. Because the subject area is vast and the questions are almost never repeated, it is hard for the exam taker to memorize or quickly discover the correct solution. The four options given as answers typically have two very close matches to the question. With quick analysis, it is possible to discover from the verbiage of a question what is truly being asked and learn how t ...
