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.

Audience
This course is for anyone who has previously attended the Data Modeling Master
Class or currently knows data modeling basics and is seeking more advanced
techniques. Roles include:
· Data Modeler
· Project Manager
· Team Lead
· Architect
· Developer
· Support Analyst
· Data Administrator
· Database Administrator
· Data Analyst
· Integration Specialist

Correction re: DAMA Day May 12th with Steve Hoberman

As mentioned in an early email it was stated that there would be a $50 discount off of a Technics Publishing
book for the first 50 registrants.  In fact, a $20 discount will be offered for the first 50 registrants. 

Additionally, the synopsis initially said that this would be a 2 day course.  Actually, it is only a 1 day
course.  

We apologize for any confusion.  We will be making an announcement regarding the location of the DAMA Day
later this week.

Best Regards,
Pete Stiglich

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER - Analytics & Unstructured Data - Feb 16th.

Kas Kasravi, an HP Fellow at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services, will be conducting a workshop on
Analytics and Data Management, February 16th from 9am to 12pm at SRP in Tempe (1600 N Priest).  Coffee and
bagels will be served at 8:30, so come early to network.

Please RSVP or send any questions to dama_phoenix <at> yahoo.com.  DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.  For additional
information please visit our website.  Please forward this email to your colleagues!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Organizations are increasingly relying on business analytics as a strategy for growth in these
challenging times. Analytics supports organizational agility by providing timely and actionable
insights into emerging opportunities and threats. Effective delivery of business analytics requires a
sound data management foundation, as well as analytics capabilities such as unstructured data
management and visual data analysis. This workshop addresses these opportunities in the following
three segments:

1.       Unstructured Data Management – Unstructured data includes textual data, as well as audio, image,
video, and other types of data without a pre-determined data model. The volume of unstructured data is
increasing rapidly, requiring advanced techniques for tapping into the wealth of contextual
information buried in them. Various techniques, such as text mining, are used for managing unstructured data.

2.       Visual Data Analysis – As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Visual representation of
data can simplify understanding of the information buried in volumes of data sources. Visual data
analysis extends beyond business graphics, revealing insights such as trends, correlations and
clusters, without relying on specialized statistical techniques.
Interactive Workshop: The audience will collectively select a problem related to data management in
support of analytics, and the TRIZ inventive problem solving methodology will be used in a facilitated
manner to solve the problem. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

3. Interactive Workshop: The audience will collectively select a problem related to data management in

Seats available - Jim Bean Nov. 18th - Transactional Data vs. Hypermedia

Jim Bean , author of several books on XML, SOA, and other topics will be presenting on the topic of:

Transactional Data vs. Hypermedia for "Data in Motion"

Date:       Thursday November 18, 2010   Time: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM / Come for Bagels & Coffee at 8:00 AM

Location: Choice Hotels 6811 E Mayo Blvd
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are being used extensively to share and provide data and content.  Jim Bean, noted author of multiple books on SOA, XML, Global Standards and Database Design (e.g., "SOA and Web Services Interface Design: Principles, Techniques, and Standards"), will discuss how Data in Motion transmitted using SOA/Web Services differs when dealing with transactional data versus Hypermedia or unstructured content.  
 
There are fundamental differences between strongly typed data in motion as a transactional message exchange and that of a more ReSTful servicing interaction. Where a transactional message is primarily a collection of data elements that are defined by an XML Schema interface definition, and a ReSTful interaction is more resource or content driven (roughly analogous to the Web page or document content identified by a URL or URI). Both have a place in Service Oriented Architecture, with advantages and disadvantages to each.
 
The most important considerations are to determine:
 
 - What is the context in which the data will manipulated?
 - Is the Data Strongly Typed (discretely defined data elements and

November 18th, Jim Bean - Transactional Data vs. Hypermedia for "Data in Motion"

This DAMA Phoenix event will be held November 18th from 8:30 to 12 (coffee and bagels at 8 am) at Choice Hotels
- 6811 E Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, AZ.  To register or for any questions, email us at:  dama_phoenix <at> yahoo.com

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are being used extensively to share and provide data and content. 
Jim Bean, noted author of multiple books on SOA, XML, Global Standards and Database Design (e.g., “SOA
and Web Services Interface Design: Principles, Techniques, and Standards”), will discuss how Data in
Motion transmitted using SOA/Web Services differs when dealing with transactional data versus
Hypermedia or unstructured content.  

 
There are fundamental differences between strongly typed data in motion as a transactional message
exchange and that of a more ReSTful servicing interaction. Where a transactional message is primarily a
collection of data elements that are defined by an XML Schema interface definition, and a ReSTful
interaction is more resource or content driven (roughly analogous to the Web page or document content
identified by a URL or URI). Both have a place in Service Oriented Architecture, with advantages and
disadvantages to each.

The most important considerations are to determine:

 - What is the context in which the data will manipulated?
 - Is the Data Strongly Typed (discretely defined data elements and
   metadata) or a Resource (Web pages, documents, video, audio, email, images, etc.)?
 - What is the Role of Data Governance and the Data Architect/Modeler in “data in motion”?
 - What are operations that will be performed on the data in motion?
 - Will the data be subject to change and if so, at what level of granularity?
 - What roles do XML and XML Schemas play?
 - What type of metadata will be important to manage?

This session will help you to answer these questions, and to understand how and when to exploit
transactional service interactions and ReSTful interactions.
