Description
In recent years, companies and government agencies have come to realize that the data they use represent a significant corporate resource,
whose cost calls for management every bit as rigorous as the management of human resources, money, and capital equipment. With this realization
has come recognition of the importance to integrate the data that has traditionally only been available from disparate sources.
An
important component of this integration is the management of the ?metadata? that describe, catalogue, and provide access to the various
forms of underlying business data. The ?metadata repository? is essential keeping track both of the various physical components of these
systems, but also their semantics. What do we mean by ?customer?? Where can we find information about our customers?
After years of
building enterprise models for the oil, pharmaceutical, banking, and other industries, Dave Hay has here not only developed a conceptual
model of such a metadata repository, he has in fact created a true enterprise data model of the information technology industry itself.
Audience
Data management professionals, including data analysts; data modeling and design professionals; data warehouse and database repository designers.
