ANNOUNCEMENT January 1, 2007 (The Data Administration Newsletter) Tony Shaw (of Wilshire Conferences) and the eight judges listed below (including myself, Robert S. Seiner of The Data Administration Newsletter) want to thank everybody who participated by entering a submission for the 2006 Wilshire Conference Award for Metadata Best Practices. After careful review and an extremely close competition, we are VERY PLEASED to announce that the Bank of Montreal (BMO) was selected to win the award this year. Karen Lopez, one of the distinguished panel of judges, stated "BMO has done a wonderful job providing a quality meta data solution." Karen went on to say "It was difficult choosing a winner, as all applicants had very successful meta data programs in place." "This year brought a great group of entries and a corresponding difficult decision to pick a winner", stated judge Doug Stacey, a previous winner of The Wilshire Award. Doug continued, "Ultimately Bank of Montreal rose to the top with great executive support, a well thought out architecture, and a scope of implementation that was impressive. I'd like to congratulate all the entrants and thank them for taking the time to showcase their implementations."
