On-Demand Webinar:
Modeling with Metadata

In today’s enterprise environments, data architects are required to incorporate and integrate data from a variety of sources, such as multiple relational and unstructured databases, public-use data, information managed in cloud/hosted SaaS systems, and data absorbed from a wide variety of “open” sources. Without a process for synthesizing the format, structure and semantics of the data sources and verifying conformance among them, you run the risk of blending data in an incompatible way leading to misunderstandings in the best case and poor business decisions in the worst case.

To help you address the blossoming challenges of working with different kinds of data, David Loshin shares his thoughts and experiences and discusses how business process-oriented data and metadata modeling can help:

  • Establish control over the interpretation of multiple data sources
  • Harmonize information concepts
  • Facilitate semantic consistency and information conformance
