Recent joiner to Bloomberg who now, according to my very smart manager, groks REST. I humbly disagree. I will use time at this conference to come a bit closer to his ideal.

I am an accidental data tech junkie who started in tech working on a Direct (snail)Mail Marketing system using inverted indices on disk (a hot area in the early 90's). Even then, my best tool was stealing (ermm..learning others' ideas)...the base concept of the product was from Chapter 1 of Programming Pearls (never did finish the book fully). I ultimately landed (and got stuck) into reference/enterprise data management in Finance (Morgan Stanley, UBS) for the last 18 years and have focused on data distribution and knowledge management.

I would like to discuss reference data and REST API's (mostly as in Financial Services but I feel applicable to most enterprises. I am tasked with building a new API to this content.
