## History

The Data Management Association International was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles.[3] Other early chapters were:San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, NewYork, and Washington D.C.

## Data Management Body of Knowledge

DAMA has published the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK), which contains suggestions on best practices and suggestions of a common vernacular for enterprise data management. The first edition (DAMA-DMBOK) was published on 2009 November 1,[4][5] and the second edition (DAMA-DMBOK2) was published on 2017 July 1.[6]

DMBOK has been described by the authors as being an "equivalent" to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK).[7] It encompasses topics such as data architecture, security, quality, modelling, governance,[8] big data, data science, and more.[9]

DAMA also provides a professional data management certification for individuals known as a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP),[10] which is based on the DMBOK as a study reference.[11] It is an example of one of many competing certifications for data management professionals.[12]
