Enterprise Data Architecture: Context
and Methods
Fall 2012
Course Description
This course is all about the FEA/TOGAF Data Reference Model.
It has three primary foci. The first focus is to introduce students to
the standard activities around enterprise data architecture management,
including data governance, architecture management, data development,
data operations, data security, master data management (MDM), business
intelligence management, document and content management, meta-data
management, and the management of data quality. For each of these
topics, we will cover concepts and activities, principles and
standards, methodology, and organizational and cultural issues.
We will do a deep dive into issues surrounding Master Data Management (MDM), including architectural strategies and tradeoffs.
The
second focus will be on guiding students in the creation of a Business Information Model, or BIM, and the various modeling
activities that are subsumed, including vocabulary analysis, subject
area definition and modeling (SAM). Students will get hands-on experience as they create a business
vocabulary in a particular business vertical, and derive a subject area
model for that vertical from a business
architecture description that will be provided to the students.
The third focus will be the creation of a Conceptual Data Model with
an MDM focus based on best practices in Universal Data Models.
Students will be exposed to and will use Embarcadero's ER/Studio for all modeling activities (Download Here). The target DBMS platform will be Oracle 10g.
