Synopsis
Do you already know data modeling and want more? Take the Advanced Data Modeling
Challenges Workshop! This one-day course minimizes lecture and maximizes
tackling real world data modeling scenarios. There are eight modules to the
class containing over twenty scenarios that are solved in groups then discussed
with the class.
Data Modeling Syntax. We will translate a series of business rules into
different modeling notations such as Information Engineering (IE), Integration
Definition for Information Modeling (IDEF1X), and the UML Class Diagram.
Data Modeling Guidelines. Modeling is far from an exact science and in this
module we will face several areas where guidelines are critical. We will
determine when to use each of five different data models for capturing a ragged
and unbalanced hierarchy. In another scenario, we will decide whether to use a
lookup entity, a generic lookup entity, or no lookup at all. We will explore
where new technologies will lead to new classword hierarchies. We will decide
when to use b-tree versus bitmap indexes.
Business Intelligence. We will clarify the meanings of a number of dimensional
modeling terms in our field such as factless fact, merged fact, and pivoted
fact. We will then sort a series of measurements into additive, semi-additive,
and fully additive. We will build the subject area, logical, and physical
dimensional data models for a lottery analytical system.
Enterprise Architecture. We will define the elusive canonical data model. We
will then build the relational logical enterprise data model for a publishing
organization. We will answer five very challenging questions around the
marketing and usage of the enterprise data model. We will then practice
integration techniques using several standard glossaries. We will also design a
metadata repository.
Industry Data Models. We will extend a generic industry data model for a data
warehouse. We will also practice reverse engineering an existing XML-based
industry data model.
New Technologies. We will identify the involvement of data analysts, data
architects, data modelers, and business users in the design of a mashup. We will
capture some of the challenges with creating business intelligence mashups
(bashups for short). We will help a startup company design a cloud-based survey
application as a Software as a Service (SaaS). We will reverse engineer an XML
document into a relational logical data model.
Data Profiling. We will examine sample data to determine the validity of a data
model. We will model structured, semi-structured and unstructured data for a
contact application.
Roles and Responsibilities. We will determine what a data architect really does.
We will determine who is responsible when the data model is not used, or not
used as intended.
