A wider definition may comprise all design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). In fact, architecture today may refer to the activity of designing any kind of system and is often used in the IT world. 14Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Architecture

8. Architectures: here, whether you like it or not 15Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # deviantart.com • All organizations have architectures – Some are better understood and documented (and therefore more useful to the organization) than others Architecture Representation • Architectures are the symbolic   representation of the structure,   use and reuse of resources • Common components are   represented using standardized notation • Architectures are sufficiently detailed to permit both business analysts and technical personnel to separately read the same model, and come away with a common understanding 16Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #

9. Understanding • A specific definition – 'Understanding an architecture' – Documented and articulated as a (digital) blueprint illustrating the commonalities and   interconnections among the   architectural components – Ideally the understanding   is shared by systems and humans 17Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Organizational  Architectures • Amazon – Traditional structure • Google – Team of 3 • Facebook – Do you really have a structure? • Microsoft – Eliminate their own products • Apple – Everything revolves around one individual • Oracle – Buys one company after another 18Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #

10. • Process Architecture – Arrangement of inputs -> transformations = value -> outputs – Typical elements: Functions, activities, workflow, events, cycles, products, procedures • Systems Architecture – Applications, software components, interfaces, projects • Business Architecture – Goals, strategies, roles, organizational structure, location(s) • Security Architecture – Arrangement of security controls relation to IT Architecture • Technical Architecture/Tarchitecture – Relation of software capabilities/technology stack – Structure of the technology infrastructure of an enterprise, solution or system – Typical elements: Networks, hardware, software platforms, standards/protocols • Data/Information Architecture – Arrangement of data assets supporting organizational strategy – Typical elements: specifications expressed as entities, relationships, attributes, definitions, values, vocabularies Typically Managed Organizational Architectures 19Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # • The underlying (information) design principals upon which construction is based – Source: http://architecturepractitioner.blogspot.com/ • … are plans, guiding the transformation of strategic organizational information needs into specific information systems development projects – Source: Internet • A framework providing a structured description of an enterprise’s information assets — including structured data and unstructured or semistructured content — and the relationship of those assets to business processes, business management, and IT systems. – Source: Gene Leganza, Forrester 2009 • "Information architecture is a foundation discipline describing the theory, principles, guidelines, standards, conventions, and factors for managing information as a resource.

17. • Goal must be shared IT/business understanding – No disagreements = insufficient communication • Data sharing/exchange is largely and highly automated and   thus dependent on successful engineering – It is critical to engineer a sound foundation of data modeling basics   (the essence) on which to build advantageous data technologies • Modeling characteristics change over the course of analysis – Different model instances may be useful to different analytical problems • Incorporate motivation (purpose statements) in all modeling – Modeling is a problem defining as well as a problem solving activity - both are inherent to architecture • Use of modeling is much more important than selection of a specific modeling method • Models are often living documents – The more easily it adapts to change, the resource utilization • Models must have modern access/interface/search technologies – Models need to be available in an easily searchable manner • Utility is paramount – Adding color and diagramming objects customizes models and allows for a more engaging and enjoyable user review process Data Architecting for Business Value 33Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Inspired by: Karen Lopez http://www.information-management.com/newsletters/enterprise_architecture_data_model_ERP_BI-10020246-1.html?pg=2 Good Architectural Foundation? 34Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #

19. Levels of Abstraction, Completeness and Utility 37Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # • Models more downward facing - detail • Architecture is higher level of abstraction - integration • In the past architecture attempted to gain complete (perfect) understanding – Not timely – Not feasible • Focus instead on   architectural components – Governed by a framework – More immediate utility • http://www.architecturalcomponentsinc.com Too Much Detail 38Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #

22. How are Data Models Expressed as Architectures? 43Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # More Granular                                                More Abstract  • Attributes are organized into entities/objects – Attributes are characteristics of "things" – Entitles/objects are "things" whose information is managed in support of strategy – Examples • Entities/objects are organized into models – Combinations of attributes and entities are structured to represent information requirements – Poorly structured data, constrains organizational information delivery capabilities – Examples • Models are organized into architectures – When building new systems, architectures are used to plan development – More often, data managers do not know what existing architectures are and - therefore - cannot make use of them in support of strategy implementation – Why no examples? Data Data Data Information Fact Meaning Request Data must be Architected to Deliver Value [Built on definitions from Dan Appleton 1983] Intelligence Strategic Use 1. Each FACT combines with one or more MEANINGS. 2. Each specific FACT and MEANING combination is referred to as a DATUM. 3. An INFORMATION is one or more DATA that are returned in response to a specific REQUEST 4. INFORMATION REUSE is enabled when one FACT is combined with more than one MEANING. 5. INTELLIGENCE is INFORMATION associated with its STRATEGIC USES. 6. DATA/INFORMATION must formally arranged into an ARCHITECTURE. 44Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Wisdom & knowledge are   often used synonymously Data Data Data Data

25. Data Leverage • Permits organizations to better manage their sole non-depletable, non-degrading, durable, strategic asset - data – within the organization, and – with organizational data exchange partners • Leverage – Obtained by implementation of data-centric technologies, processes, and human skill sets – Increased by elimination of data ROT (redundant, obsolete, or trivial) • The bigger the organization, the greater potential leverage exists • Treating data more asset-like simultaneously 1. lowers organizational IT costs and 2. increases organizational knowledge worker productivity 49Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Less ROT Technologies Process People Architecture Evolution 50Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Conceptual Logical Physical Validated Not UnValidated Every change can be mapped to a transformation in this framework!

26. IT Project or Application-Centric Development Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart 51Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Data/ Information IT  Projects   Strategy • In support of strategy, organizations implement IT projects • Data/information are typically considered within the scope of IT projects • Problems with this approach: – Ensures data is formed to the applications and not around the organizational-wide information requirements – Process are narrowly formed around applications – Very little data reuse is possible Data-Centric Development Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart 52Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # IT  Projects Data/  Information   Strategy • In support of strategy, the organization develops specific, shared data-based goals/objectives • These organizational data goals/ objectives drive the development of specific IT projects with an eye to organization-wide usage • Advantages of this approach: – Data/information assets are developed from an organization-wide perspective – Systems support organizational data needs and compliment organizational process flows – Maximum data/information reuse

27. Engineering Architecture Engineering/Architecting Relationship • Architecting is used to create and build systems too complex to be treated by engineering analysis alone • Architects require technical details as the exception • Engineers develop the technical designs • Craftsman deliver components supervised by: – Building Contractor – Manufacturer Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # 53 USS Midway & Pancakes What is this? 54Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # • It is tall • It has a clutch • It was built in 1942 • It is still in regular use!

28. Engineering Standards 55Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Architectural Work Product Components may be defined as: • The intersection of common business functionality and the   subsets of the organizational technology and data   architectures used to implement that functionality • Component definition is an important activity because CM2 component engineering is focused on an entire component as an analysis unit. A concrete example of a component might be – The business processes, the technology and the data supporting organizational human resource benefits operations. This same component could be described simply as the "PeopleSoft™ version 7.5 benefits module implemented on Windows 95." illustrates the integration of the three primary PeopleSoft metadata structures describing the: business processes used to organization the work flow, menu navigation required to access system functionality, and data which when combined with meanings provided by the panels provided information to the knowledge workers. 56Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #

41. Would you build a house without an architecture sketch? Model is the sketch of the system to be built in a project. Would you like to have an estimate how much your new house is going to cost? Your model gives you a very good idea of how demanding the implementation work is going to be! If you hired a set of constructors from all over the world to build your house, would you like them to have a common language? Model is the common language for the project team. Would you like to verify the proposals of the construction team before the work gets started? Models can be reviewed before thousands of hours of implementation work will be done. If it was a great house, would you like to build something rather similar again, in another place? It is possible to implement the system to various platforms using the same model. Would you drill into a wall of your house without a map of the plumbing and electric lines? Models document the system built in a project. This makes life easier for the support and maintenance! Why Architect Data? 81Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide # Take Aways • What is an information architecture? – A structure of data-based information assets   supporting implementation of organizational strategy – Most organizations have data assets that are not supportive of strategies -   i.e., information architectures that are not helpful – The really important question is: how can organizations more effectively use their information architectures to support strategy implementation? • What is meant by use of an information architecture? – Application of data assets towards organizational strategic objectives – Assessed by the maturity of organizational data management practices – Results in increased capabilities, dexterity, and self awareness – Accomplished through use of data-centric development practices (including taxonomies, stewardship, and repository use) • How does an organization achieve better use of its information architecture? – Continuous re-development; the starting point isn't the beginning – Information architecture components must typically be reengineered – Using an iterative, incremental approach, typically focusing on one component at a time and applying formal transformations 82Copyright 2017 by Data Blueprint Slide #
