Today’s agenda about Access to Data
• What has stayed the same?
• What is changing?
• Next Steps
The Vision for Data Access
has stayed the same
• Data is an institutional resource.
• With the guidance of data custodian — and
in accordance with a principled technology
architecture roadmap — employ
contemporary technologies to provide userfriendly access to accurate, timely, secure
institutional data.
Based on input from data
custodians and end-users:
• Data must have
– Integrity
– Security
– Accessibility

Access to Data: What is changing?
Across the university
• Technology development is driven by —
and is serving — the business mission of
the university.
• New interconnections and technologies
have new implications and possibilities.
Access to Data: What is changing?
The portal enables a new user experience
• My UW-Madison (MUM) will provide integrated delivery of data.
– WISDM, Query Library, InfoAccess
– “Self-Service Queries”
• MUM will provide users with easier ways to gather information from old
and new sources of data, e.g.,
– SFS Data Warehouse
– APBS Data Warehouse
• Under the hood technologies will simplify the user’s access to data.
– Role Based Authorization
– Web-based Brio Query
Working togetherWe can fulfill the vision
• Integrity
– Defined by data custodian
• Technologies that support Security
– Role-based authorization
– New authentication systems will meet diverse security requirements.
• Technologies that support Accessibility
– My UW-Madison
• http://my.wisc.edu
– Identification, Authentication, Authorization (IAA)
• http://www.doit.wisc.edu/middleware/iaa/index.asp
– Populations, Affiliations, and Service Entitlements (PASE)
• http://arch.doit.wisc.edu/scott/PASE/PASE-http/
Next Steps:
New Roles and Responsibilities
• Based on Vision + What is Changing
• Business Decisions and Policies are led by Functional Offices and
Data Custodians.
– End-users are included in the discussion.
– Policy groups are being updated, e.g., PASE and UDS (University
Directory Service) Steering Committees.
• Technology supports the institution’s goals.
– Contemporary technologies provide user-friendly access to
accurate, timely, secure institutional data.
