This document discusses an agile enterprise data model (EDM) and data management solution. It begins by defining an EDM and explaining why they are important for issues like integrating data across systems and supporting business processes. It then describes problems with traditional top-down approaches. The solution proposed uses an agile hybrid approach to quickly develop an initial EDM using industry models. It allows rolling out the solution modularly and minimizing disruption. Customers are provided tailored training and support to link the data model to business strategies.
Requirements for a Master Data Management (MDM) Solution - PresentationVicki McCracken
Working on Requirements for a Master Data Management solution and looking for thoughts on how to approach the requirements? This is an overview presentation that complements my guide on how to approach requirements for a Master Data Management solution (Requirements for an MDM Solution). You may be able to leverage all or some of the approach described in this guide to formulate your approach.
This is the presentation for the talk I gave at JavaDay Kiev 2015. This is about an evolution of data processing systems from simple ones with single DWH to the complex approaches like Data Lake, Lambda Architecture and Pipeline architecture
This presentation reports on data governance best practices. Based on a definition of fundamental terms and the business rationale for data governance, a set of case studies from leading companies is presented. The content of this presentation is a result of the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Data modelling is considered a staple in the world of data management. The skill of the data modeler and their knowledge of the business plays a large role in successful Enterprise Information Management across many organizations. Data modeling requires formal accountability, attention to metadata and getting the business heavily involved in data requirement development. These are all traits of solid Data Governance programs.
Join Bob Seiner and a special guest modeler extraordinaire in this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to discuss data modeling as a form of data governance. Learn how to use the skillfulness of the data modeler to advance data-as-an-asset and governance agendas while conveying the importance and value of both disciplines.
In this webinar Bob and a special guest will talk about:
•Data Modeling as Art or Science
•Role of Data Modeler in a Governance Program
•Data Modeler Skills as Governance Skills
•Modeling and Governance Best Practices

Webinar: Decoding the Mystery - How to Know if You Need a Data Catalog, a Dat...DATAVERSITY
There’s a lot of confusion out there about the differences between a data catalog, a data dictionary and a business glossary, and it's not always easy to understand who needs which and why. Join Malcolm Chisholm, Ph.D., President of Data Millennium, and Amichai Fenner, Product Lead at Octopai, as they help decode the mystery. Spoiler alert: one of these enables collaboration across BI and IT, which is it?
This paper details the process of DMC at eight different organizations while capturing the keys to success from each. These case studies were specifically selected to demonstrate several variations on the concept of consolidation. While there is no such thing as a �cookie-cutter� DMC process, there are common best practices and lessons to be shared.
Data Architecture Strategies: Data Architecture for Digital TransformationDATAVERSITY
MDM, data quality, data architecture, and more. At the same time, combining these foundational data management approaches with other innovative techniques can help drive organizational change as well as technological transformation. This webinar will provide practical steps for creating a data foundation for effective digital transformation.
Reference matter data management:
Two categories of structured data :
Master data: is data associated with core business entities such as customer, product, asset, etc.
Transaction data: is the recording of business transactions such as orders in manufacturing, loan and credit card payments in banking, and product sales in retail.
Reference data: is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise .
The purpose of business intelligence is to support better business decision making. BI systems provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations, most often using data that has been gathered into a data warehouse or a data mart and occasionally working from operational data.
The Business Value of Metadata for Data GovernanceRoland Bullivant
In today’s digital economy, data drives the core processes that deliver profitability and growth - from marketing, to finance, to sales, supply chain, and more. It is also likely that for many large organizations much of their key data is retained in application packages from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others. In order to ensure that their foundational data infrastructure runs smoothly, most organizations have adopted a data governance initiative. These typically focus on the people and processes around managing data and information. Without an actionable link to the physical systems that run key business processes, however, governance programs can often lack the ‘teeth’ to effectively implement business change.
Metadata management is a process that can link business processes and drivers with the technical applications that support them. This makes data governance actionable and relevant in today’s fast-paced and results-driven business environment. One of the challenges facing data governance teams however, is the variety in format, accessibility and complexity of metadata across the organization’s systems.
The Persona-Based Value of Modern Data Governance Precisely
Yes, data governance solutions are now a business imperative. But modern demands are requiring integrated capabilities to discover, understand, profile, and measure data integrity across many different functions across your organization.
This presentation shares four persona-based use cases & demos to illustrate how a single modular, and interoperable solution can optimize collaboration and empower your data teams to deliver data-driven decisions faster and more confidently.
Are you ready for the future of data governance? Check out what will be required:
• Understand data relationships to business objectives, metrics, and request new actions
• Discover new data element alerts to profile and add contextual details to your analysis
• Review needed data quality rules, lineage, and impact and proactively
monitor data changes over time.
• Access & respond to data replication request for more timely results
• Create data quality pipelines and enrich data for more insightful analytics

Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Success StoriesDATAVERSITY
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar will demonstrate how chronic business challenges can often be attributed to the root problem of poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. Establishing this framework allows organizations to more efficiently identify business and data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects; giving them the skillset to prevent these problems from re-occurring.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
Utilizing data quality engineering in support of business strategy
Case Studies illustrating data quality success
Data quality guiding principles & best practices
Steps for improving data quality at your organization
SAP Data Services is a data integration and transformation software application. It also supports changed-data capture (CDC), which is an important capability for providing input data to both data-warehousing and stream-processing systems.
It is an ETL tool which gives a single enterprises level solution for data integration, Transformation, Data quality, Data profiling and text data processing from the heterogeneous source into a target database or data warehouse.
Activate Data Governance Using the Data CatalogDATAVERSITY
Data Governance programs depend on the activation of data stewards that are held formally accountable for how they manage data. The data catalog is a critical tool to enable your stewards to contribute and interact with an inventory of metadata about the data definition, production, and usage. This interaction is active Data Governance in the truest sense of the word.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share tips and techniques focused on activating your data stewards through a data catalog. Data Governance programs that involve stewards in daily activities are more likely to demonstrate value from their data-intensive investments.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A comparison of active and passive Data Governance
- What it means to have an active Data Governance program
- How a data catalog tool can be used to activate data stewards
- The role a data catalog plays in Data Governance
- The metadata in the data catalog will not govern itself
Enterprise applications and databases do not just help in running the business - they are your business. And every year, they grow in size and complexity, making them harder to manage. Uncontrolled data growth threatens application performance and service level agreements, increases maintenance costs, and exposes enterprises to legal liability for data privacy and security.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

7. 2. Why EDM
Issues of over-looking EDM and data governance practice:
➢ Data from different systems/sources cannot be integrated to support end-to-end
business processes and management information requirements due to bottom up point
solutions.
➢ Inconsistent business jargons and information/data definition restricting BPM (business
process management) and BI (business intelligence) initiatives.
➢ Inconsistent data definition and duplicated data modeling effort result in project delay
and cost over-run.
➢ Rigid application and data architecture cannot address fast changing business
requirements.
