What is Data Architecture?
• The DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK), defines data architecture as the
following:
• “Data Architecture is fundamental to data management. Because most organizations have more
data than individual people can comprehend, it is necessary to represent organizational data at
different levels of abstraction so that it can be understood and management can make decisions
about it.
• … Data Architecture artifacts include specifications used to describe existing state, define data
requirements, guide data integration, and control data assets as put forth in data strategy.
• An organization’s Data Architecture is described by an integrated collection of master design
documents at different levels of abstraction, including standards that govern how data is
collected, stored, arranged, used, and removed. It is also classified by descriptions of all the
containers and paths that data takes through an organization’s systems.”
5
DMBOK Definition

What is Data Architecture?
• Survey respondents from a 2017 DATAVERSITY survey on “Emerging Trends in Data Architecture”.
also provided a range of relevant definitions including:
“…the practice of examining the enterprise strategy, and identifying the key Data Integration points
that need to be enabled to execute that strategy, and laying out a roadmap for creating the core
capabilities to deliver those integrations, so that companies can leverage data as a strategic
asset.”
“…the science of assessing where your company data is, and the art of designing the best future
way of storing data across the enterprise.”
“…the discipline to help businesses manage their data in the most effective, secure, compliant, and
profitable way.”

Business Drivers for Data Architecture
• As more organizations see
data as a strategic asset, and
with the drive towards Digital
Business Transformation on
the rise, the need to analyze,
understand & govern core
data assets continue to be a
key goal.

“Which of the following do you plan to use in the future that you are not using
currently? [Select all that Apply]”
Many looking to Big
Data Platforms
Movement to the
Cloud is popular
Uncertainty is
common.
• For those looking at new
technologies, there is a wide range
of responses.
• Big Data Platforms a leader
• Move to Cloud RDMBS
• Graph Database
• Real-time Streaming
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Many are still uncertain, indicating
the vast rate of change and wide
array of choices available.
From Emerging Trends in Data Architecture,
DATAVERSITY, by Donna Burbank & Charles Roe,
October 2017

Big Data a Growing Trend
• Over 70% of organizations are
either using Big Data solutions, or
planning to in the future.
• Analysis & Discovery are leading
trends including:
• Data Science & Discovery
• Reporting & Analytics
• “Sandbox” Exploration
12
Analysis & Discovery are Key Drivers

Big Data Concerns
13
• The Complexity of current Big
Data solutions & the Skills
Required to manage them
were also common issues.
• Security is a leading concern, and Data
Governance was a top write-in response.

Data Lakes
• There was a mixed response
to Data Lake Implementation
14

Data Warehouse vs. Data Lake
15
Data Warehouse Data Lake
A Data Lake is a storage repository that holds a vast
amount of raw data in its native format, including
structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
The data structure & requirements are not defined until
the data is needed.
A Data Warehouse is a storage repository that holds current
and historical data used for creating analytical reports. Data
structures & requirements are pre-defined, and data is
organized & stored according to these definitions.

Integrating the Data Lake & Traditional Data Sources
• The Data Lake has a different architecture & purpose than traditional data sources such as data
warehouses.
• But the two environments can co-exist to share relevant information.

Core Enterprise Data
• Common data elements used by multiple

• Highly governed
• Highly published & shared
Functional & Operational Data
• Lightly modeled & prepared data for
limited sharing & reuse
• Collaboration-based governance
• May be future candidates for core data
Exploratory Data
• Raw or lightly prepped data for
exploratory analysis
• Mainly ad hoc, one-off analysis
• Light touch governance
Examples
• Operational Reporting
• Non-productionized analytical model data
• Ad hoc reporting & discovery
Examples
• Raw data sets for exploratory analytics
• External & Open data sources
Examples
• Common Financial Metrics: for Financial & Regulatory Reporting
• Common Attributes: Core attributes reused across multiple areas
(e.g. Student name, Address, Courses, etc.)
Master & Reference Data
• Common data elements used by multiple stakeholders
across functional areas, applications, etc.
• Highly governed
• Highly published & shared
Examples
• Reference Data: Department Codes, Country Codes, etc.
• Master Data: Student, Faculty, etc.
Exploratory analysis

The Self-Service User
18
“If there are standardized
data sets, I’d love to use
them!”
e.g. Master Data, Data Warehouse
“Published documentation,
metadata, & standard
definitions are super-helpful!”
e.g. Glossaries, data models, etc.
“I want to integrate these data
sets with my own exploratory
data for analysis & modeling!”
e.g. Self-Service Data Prep & Analysis Tools
“How can I leverage what other
people have done, and see
what is most relevant?
e.g. Data Cataloguing & Crowdsourcing,
Exploratory and/or 3rd party data sets

Crowdsourcing Governance & Metadata
• Many data governance projects (& vendors) are embracing the concept of “crowdsourcing”. i.e. The
Wikipedia vs. Encyclopedia approach
• Open editing
• Popularity & Usage Rankings
• Dynamically changing
19
Encyclopedia Wikipedia
• Created by a few, then published as read-only
• Single source of “vetted” truth
• Static
• Created by a by many, edited by many
• Eventual consistency with multiple inputs
• Dynamic
For Standardized, Enterprise Data Sets For Self-Service Data Prep & Analytics

Who is Responsible for Creating a Data Architecture?
• With a greater business focus on
data and a wider range of
technologies associated with Data
Management…
• … it is not surprising that there is a
concomitant rise in the diversity of
roles responsible for developing a
Data Architecture.
• … the role of the data architect, not
surprisingly, continues to play a
large role.

Master Data Management
• As more and more organizations struggle with obtaining a single, consistent view of core data
such as Product, Customer, Vendor, and Location, Master Data Management (MDM) is seeing a
rise in implementations with over 65% of respondents pursuing a MDM strategy.
23
• Master Data is the consistent and uniform set of identifiers and
extended attributes that describes the core entities of the
enterprise including customers, prospects, citizens, suppliers, sites,
hierarchies and chart of accounts (sic).
• Master data management (MDM) is a technology-enabled
discipline in which business and IT work together to ensure the
uniformity, accuracy, stewardship, semantic consistency and
accountability of the enterprise's official shared master data assets.

Optimizing Restaurant Revenue through Menu Data
• An international restaurant chain realized through its digital strategy that:
• While menus are the core product that drives their business…
• They had little control or visibility over their menu data
• Menu data was scattered across multiple systems in the organization from supply chain to kitchen prep to marketing,
restaurant operations, etc.
• Menu data was consolidated & managed in a central hub:
• Master Data Management created a “single view of menu” for business efficiency & quality control
• Data Governance created the workflow & policies around managing menu data

Relational Databases & Transaction Data
• Relational Databases are well-suited for transaction data:
• Avoid Redundancy & Duplication: Through referential integrity, normalization
• ACID Transactions (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) - guarantee validity even in the event
of errors, power failures, etc.
• Ease of Query via SQL: Table-based structure allows for ease of query.

Graph Databases
• With graph databases, the relationships between data
points often matter more than the individual points
themselves. In order to leverage those data relationships,
your organization needs a database technology that stores
• A graph database uses a set of nodes, edges, and
properties to represent and store data.
• These relationships can help you discover new insights
from your data.
• Common use cases include:
• Social Networks
• “Enterprise Knowledge Graph”
• Fraud Detection
• Recommendation Engines
